Boy Cavalier vs Girl Cavalier
Trying to choose the gender of your new puppy can be a difficult decision but, it doesn't have
to be. I suggest try not to have a strong preference on gender. Keep an open mind and choose
a puppy with a personality compatible to you and your family not just one with the gender or
color you prefer. As time goes by you will find that issues of color or gender are not
as important as finding a Cavalier that fits in perfectly with your lifestyle.
You will be spaying or neutering your cavalier which essentially makes "Gender" much less of an issue. Your Cavalier, male or female will be a devoted companion to you and your family. As long as you choose
a responsible breeder who cares about their cavaliers and have healthy lines a Cavalier is
a Cavalier, you just can't go wrong no matter what the gender is.

When it comes to Cavaliers they say:
Boys are “in love” with you and the girls “love” you.
Boys are “in love” with you and the girls “love” you.

What exactly does that mean?
Well, from our experience, we find that male puppies /dogs don't like to leave your side for anything and tend to be a bit more in need of your attention. The girls happily take all the love and cuddles they can get but they eventually go off to find a favorite toy and then come back to lie at your feet or at the other end of the couch. But, both sexes, they really like to keep you in sight! |
Many people believe that female’s make better pets than male's do, but there really is no difference.
People don't think females display alpha behaviors and believe that they are more docile and
attentive. That is not always true, in the dog pack makeup a female is usually the alpha dog.

Now as far as attitudes go both are very loving
and always ready to please, just as a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel should be. Keep an open mind when selecting your puppy, don’t close the door on a puppy because of preconceived notions of its gender, because you may be missing out on the best companion that you could have ever had. Either way you go male or female, if it is a Cavalier you can’t go wrong. Just keep in mind every dog, male or female has its’ own personality & is unique in every way. The differences that you see should not be based on the gender, male or female. The differences that you should be looking at should be based on the litter as a whole. |

When looking at the litter you may see one
puppy in a litter that is more outgoing, the first one to check out a new situation and the first one to figure things out. Then in the same litter you may see one that may be a bit more reserved and tends to be more cautious when checking out a new situation. Yet another maybe overly loving and needy. Each and every puppy is unique in their personality! Sometimes this is very hard for the average person to look at the litter & be able to tell the personality developing, that is where the breeder comes in, it is very important to accept any advice that the breeder is giving you & weigh all aspects. Let’s face it, who knows the puppies best besides their mother? Yes, it is us, the breeders. Our babies live in the house with us and we with them every day and know their temperament and personalities. |
Both Male and Female Cavaliers make wonderful companions, after all they are cavaliers!
As a breed they are super affectionate, well rounded and in my opinion the best breed you will
ever share your life with. Once you open your heart and home to one you will soon agree

Male and Female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Characteristics
|
Unneutered male Cavaliers are known to mark their territory very prominently in comparison to females. However, female dogs when threatened will mark their territory as well. Since the female Cavalier is not prone to marking their territory, it is often a bit easier to house training a female. |
|
Female Cavaliers tend to demonstrate less
aggression when compared to the male species. They are also far less likely to hump people, other pets or objects to show their dominance. The female Cavalier has an independent streak and likes some quiet time. There are times when your female dog may appear a wee bit distant as she does not want to be touched. |
|
|
On the whole Cavaliers are a very intelligent breed, extremely eager to please their owners and this makes training males and females a reasonably easy task. |
Females that have not been spayed go on heat in a 6-Month cycle, which means cleaning up a mess
in the house. The danger of the dog getting impregnated is always a risk for unsprayed dogs.
Why you should Neuter / Spay your Cavalier King Charles
There is one important point that needs to be mentioned – regardless of whether you choose a male or female puppy, if you do not plan to use the pet for breeding, you need to have it neutered or spayed as the case may be.
(ALL of our dogs are sold with a spay/neuter contract.)
Various studies have shown a definite link between the absence of neutering or spaying to certain
cancers. If you neuter or spay your Cavalier, you greatly reduce the chances of the
dog contracting different types of cancers.
Other benefits to neutering or spaying a pet include: reducing the humping and territorial
marking, increases the pet’s lifespan and allows it to live a healthier life.

contract which requires you to have your puppy spay/neutered within
