Are Cavaliers good for a family with little children?
Absolutely!!
Most toy breeds have a poor reputation whenit comes to children. This is definitely not the case when it comes to the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This breed is considerably sturdier than most toy breeds, and considerably more tolerant of their sudden movements. Many Cavalier King Charles Spaniels form very close bonds with children, and frequently become best friends with them. Although this breed certainly does not enjoy rough housing or hair pulling, it does enjoy ball chasing and other playtime activities and will tolerate petting that could be somewhat gentler. |
Because of their small size, though, Cavaliers must be protected from clumsy toddlers
who might fall on them or “pet” them with too much force.
