THE DOG 1 MAGAZINE CAVALIER KING

The DOG Collection (re-release), number 1. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Photographic review of the issue: photo of the toy and pages of the magazine from the first issue.

Dog fashion changes from time to time. Charles II and his brother James II loved spaniels and this made the little dogs popular. However, they fell out of royal favor when King William and Queen Mary of the Netherlands ascended the throne. Their favorite dogs, which they tirelessly petted on their knees, were pugs. Although spaniels remained popular as hunters, in the second half of the 19th century their variety, familiar to us from old portraits, disappeared. She was replaced by another, with a short snout, a domed head, and a curious look, like a pug.

In America, King Charles Spaniels are known as English Toy Spaniels, or ET for short. They are smaller and lighter than Cavaliers. The King Charles Spaniel has a high forehead, flat nose, and large, bulging eyes, as well as a stocky, stocky body and a thick, silky coat. Like the Cavaliers, Charlie has a cheerful personality. It is a great companion for long walks and for a nice evening on the couch. It has the same color options as its larger counterpart.

Standards for a breed of spaniels with a long muzzle and a flat skull were approved only in 1928. The Kennel Club of London introduced a separate category for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in J 945. Since then, the popularity of this breed has gradually grown.

The spaniels that were nicknamed dildos and noble spaniels and from which today's Cavaliers are descended have been known since Tudor times. Thanks to the long-term communication of the dynasty with the highest circles of different countries, portraits of representatives of the nobility with their favorites can be found in many galleries of the world. These dogs are present in the paintings of Van Dyck, Titian, Stobbso, Gainsborough and other artists.

During their most popular days, in the 16th century, Pygmy Spaniels were famous as comfort dogs, with doctors even mentioning them in prescriptions as medicines. Also, small dogs used to warm the knees of ladies in cold carriages and damp castle halls. Another task of spaniels was to distract fleas from their mistresses. And, perhaps unknowingly, these little dogs saved their owners from the bites of bubonic plague-carrying fleas.

However, constantly being on their knees makes knights prone to fullness. Therefore, it is very important to keep them in good physical shape. Some leading Cavalier breeders recommend a natural diet of high-quality meats, vegetables, biscuits and... a fast day once a week.

Your dog will quickly get used to this regimen and you will see that it is very beneficial for his health.

Knights are incredibly resourceful. So dreams that your puppy falls in love with the cozy basket you have chosen for him and does not want to share a sofa or bed with you, may well remain only in dreams.

Experienced gentleman owners say that comfort dogs are not averse to having fun with comfort and tend to take the most comfortable spot they can find. So don't waste your money on a dog bed; chances are your date will try to make it a rule to sleep with you.
