What Cavaliers are like to live with

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a toy spaniel. The Royal Kennel Club describes it as a "sporting, affectionate and fearless toy spaniel". It says special prizes were given at Crufts from 1926 to 1930 for Blenheim spaniels "of the old type", with a longer muzzle and flatter skull, and the name "Cavalier" was chosen to set this type apart, and that the Cavalier was recognised as a separate breed in 1945.
