Cavalier King Charles Spaniels --was this just hasn't been my week (jojo)

[Guest guest]

Geraldine,

To be honest, I had to go and look them up They are very cute -- much cuter than cocker spaniels, but slightly similar (much smaller obviously.) I was picturing a Papillon when you started talking about the ears...LOL! I like the Tricolor ones -- I'm big into good eyebrows

Hi jojoCavalier King Charles Spaniels come in four colours Blenheim (rich chestnut markings well broken up on a pearly white background - markings evenly divided on head). Also Tricolour (black and white well spaced, broken up with tan markings over eyes, cheeks, inside ears, inside legs and on underside of tail. Are you still with me jojo!!!!! lol. Next Black and Tan. Raven black markings with tan markings above eyes, on cheeks, inside ears, on chest and legs and underside of tail. Finally, Ruby - whole coloured rich red. Cavaliers are a small dog weighing approx 12-18lbs, ears, are long set high, with plenty of feathering. Eyes for this breed should be large, dark, round but not prominent. They are known as a toy breed.Well jojo did you stay the course!!! I hope the description I gave you gives you some idea. I have one Tricolour (which is Jack) and one Blenheim (which is Lily) - I call them my "Two Senior Citizens" - it was only recently that I had to have my Bess put to sleep - with the three, they were known affectionately as the "Three Senior Citizens". Well, I am off now to feed the "Two Senior Citizens" !!!Geraldine-- In , jojo <tofujojo> wrote:> > Thanks Geraldine > What do your dogs look like? I don't think I've ever heard of them before... 15 is very good for any kind of dog, though.
