Rosewood Cavaliers

AKC CH.Rosewood China Doll

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a delightfully affectionate, playful, intelligent little dog that repays his owner's care and attention with an endearing devotion. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel of today is descended from the small Toy Spaniels seen in so many of the 16th, 17th, and 18th Century painting. History tells us that King Charles ll was seldom seen without two or three at his heels. He wrote a decree that the King Charles Spaniel should be accept in any public place. By the mid-nineteenth century the new fashion to the Toy Spaniel was the look of today's Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. A few dedicated breeders in England drew up a standard for the breed and it was practically the same as it is today. The Cavalier should be guarded from fashion-no trimming permitted. A natural dog was desired and was not to be spoiled to suit indivdual tastes.
