Athercroft Cavaliers. A collaboration between two friends with decades-long knowledge of canine structure, breeding and genetics. Focused on preservation of the uniquely amazing breed known as the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Please don’t call them cavies… that’s a guinea pig. The Cavalier is an elegant toy spaniel. Weighing 13-18 pounds with a tail that wags almost constantly and big, dark eyes that will melt any heart. Cavaliers are loved for their sweet, easy-going temperament. Moderate in all aspects. Limited grooming required to keep a Cavalier in good condition.
