Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Products for Dogs and Owners

Hi, I am a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and my name is Holly. I am a pure bred, AKC registered Cavalier Spaniel and am proud of it.

On the pages to follow, I give my recommendations for all kinds of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel products and where to get them.

But first, let me tell you a little bit about my self.

It’s not much of a secret that I use my incredible ability as a cute Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and combine it with my immense willpower to get what I want, when I want it and how I want it.

Of course, food is a top priority. Human food is the best with my doggie biscuits coming in a close second. Popcorn is the number one human food that I like but since I have the unfortunate habit of swallowing it whole when I can get it, my humans don’t let me have it often.

Since my owners only feed me dog food once a day, I have to ever watch carefully for OOPSies. (that’s when one of my humans accidentally or ‘accidentally’ drops a piece – the female one is much better at the ‘accidental’ droppings then the male. It must be something in the genes).

I do get biscuits fairly often. They think they trick me at night when it’s time to go into my crate. The male one throws a biscuit in and I obediently trot in to get it. They think they’re tricking me but I know better. I could get out if I really wanted to!

I also have them trained to give me biscuits when I do something really heroic, like putting up with getting my hair brushed, taking a pill, getting my flea medicine and other things like that. Sometimes they forget to give me my treat and need to be reminded, so, I’ll bark and run to the pantry (that’s the big hole in the wall dedicated to holding my treats). A gentle reminder is usually all that’s needed, hey – what can you expect they’re only human and I love them.

CKCS bathed I love being photographed. Let me continue telling you about myself with pictures. (In some of these pictures, you will see me in my hippie – long hair days. It gets pretty hot around here so my owners sometimes get my hair trimmed up real nice and close.) Here I am after a new hair cut.

Another thing I love are my toys. Let’s be honest, I have more toys than I can keep track of. See, the thing is, when I get a great new toy I don’t chew on it — it’s too valuable. I hoard most of my toys away in various corners throughout the house. Then I often randomly stumble across one or two and am shocked to find such a treasure. If only I could remember where I put these things… but I am getting older. I’m almost 7!

In addition to my toys and biscuits, there is one more thing that I love (and I'll mention it here in case you miss it on the other page) - I love those Greenie toothbrush treats. To see me with one, click on this link - Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Greenies

CKCS with toys and cats I think we all know who is the greatest threat to my prize. The CAT. Yes, one of them lives in the house. I really have no idea why they keep him around. We don’t have mice. Even if we did, I’m certain I could catch them well enough to keep there from being the need for a CAT. Besides that, all he does is lie around. Lie around and watch my toys from a distance. I can see him plotting. I see the way he looks at my bone. That’s why I have to watch it, carefully. You see, those are MY toys which I greatly value and must watch them constantly. In this picture you can see me with some of my favorite toys. See those beady eyes in the back? You know who that is watching my toys!

You may wonder if I have any unusual quirks. Well I have one. I am totally mesmerized and crazy about reflections. I go nuts when I see reflections from the sun or a light. I chase it and jump at it and lick it and bark at it, but somehow I never seem to get it. Then, there are some young boys in this family who simply are mean to me and make me run up and down the hall chasing this little red dot from one of their pens. They think it is funny but I take this chasing reflections seriously.

CKCS bathed2 I hate to admit it, but I do have one bad habit in addition to this one quirk. (not bad for a little princess). I love to go out in the yard and roll in the yuckiest, rottenest thing that I can find. It doesn’t happen too often but once in a while I find a pile of decaying leaves or dead worms or something very comparable to this yuck and I just roll over and rub in it as much as I can. Just as a pig enjoys rolling in mud, I enjoy rolling in yuck. As you can imagine my master gets furious with me about this because he has to bathe me. Now I don’t particularly love baths but I can endure them because I know I will get a biscuit when I am done. See I win on both accounts!! (and the one young boy in my family says I am dumb! HA!) Here I am after a bath waiting for my treat.

I talked above what I love. There are only a few things that I hate. One is the door bell. You can do almost anything and I will never bark. But you ring that bell and I go ballistic. I just can’t stand that noise --- although I do love getting company and having someone pet me.

The other major thing that I CKCS at Vet hate is going to the vet. Now let me clarify that. I don’t mind my Doctor visits too much (because I can get treats there) but I absolutely cringe at the thought of having to be boarded there for any length of time. I get totally bummed out and will try anything to get myself out of there. This here picture shows some of my feeble attempts to get out. I have never won this battle yet. So sad :(
They say you can’t “teach an old dog new tricks”. Well as I said above I getting pretty old for a dog, perhaps you might say middle age. Until recently, every time my family would go away for long periods of time they would either have someone house sit with me (and the CAT) or I would be taken to the vet for boarding. Then about three months ago, for the first time ever, my family took me along on a trip to visit that young girl that used to live with us. In preparation for the trip, my masters gave me a nice afghan and the whole back seat to sit in. If must I say so myself, I traveled very well. I slept most of the way and did not bark or jump around or pest them in the least bit. They were very proud of me.

Then a little while later my masters went a way for a few days and left me with the little boy that teases me all the time. Well he decided to go see his brother. He knew he couldn’t leave me home alone so he took me along. Again, I was very good during the trip and my visit with the other boy!!

Based on these two experiences I now know if the humans are packing lots of bags and snacks and sticking them into the car -- that a long trip is involved and I will be going along! Yippee!!!

CKCS bye Well I thought that would be the case. Just recently my one master and that young boy that teases me, were packing lots of things in bags and then started to load these things in the car. Well, I learned, based on my earlier two trips that this meant I would be going on the trip also. Here I am getting ready to get in.

CKCS driver Wrong!! I must say that I was heart broken to find out that my other master was not going on the trip and would be home in a little while to keep me (and the CAT) company. I sulked the whole afternoon by sleeping in my masters’ bedroom. Here I am again ready to go and 'in the driver's seat.'

I guess that covers the highlights of my life. If any other Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have any exciting or common interests just e-mail me at the address below.
