We have two Cavaliers, sweet, charming, little love sponges. Best breed ever for a smaller dog. We had a Golden who died, he was a great dog too.
We have a Cavalier as well. He’s our second one and is all dog while the first one was a bit more neurotic, lol. He loves to swim and can even dock dive. He’s an absolute nut around water while being a very close companion and friend. Wouldn’t harm a fly and toddlers could stick their hand in his mouth and remove food without being in danger, assuming he would let go of it of course. Totally recommend this breed to anyone who wants a real dog in a small package.
