An excellent resource for you and your Cavalier March 3, 2008

D. Woods's Amazon Review of this book describes this book very well. We've lived with Clive, our black and tan Cavalier, for two and a half years, and haven't found one error in the book. The author is clearly an experience breeder, and describes this type of dog very well in easy to understand language.
I'm writing this Review to emphasize a point the author makes; this breed gains weight very easily, particularly if the dog is castrated or spayed. It's partly the pleading eyes and loving personality, but it must also be in the genes. Clive and I take three to five mile walks a couple of times a week, and yet he can put on two pounds in a week.
Our vet suggested that slowing Clive's eating would help him maintain a healthy weight. We tried putting rocks and later tennis balls in his food bowl, but he quickly learned to extract the impediments and scarf down his food. The Brake-Fast Small Dog Food Bowl looked like a joke gift, but in fact it is amazingly effective.
Clive has to work for at least a minute to work around the prongs and finish every last morsel. The bowl can be put on a mat so it won't move, but it takes him even longer to eat when he pushes the bowl around our kitchen floor. We've also added a bit of egg white and microwaved the bowl for a few seconds to "glue" the food in place. The result:
Brake-Fast Small Dog Food Bowl: $[...]
King Charles Cavalier Spaniel: $[...]
Watching Clive growling with frustration as he pushes his bowl around the floor: Priceless

This is an excellent well rounded book written by someone who really knows and loves the breed. It is a hardcover with 144 pages of good information and great photos. If you are new to the breed and are getting only one book, this is the one to buy. It covers almost everything you can think of, although doesn't cover breeding much because serious breeders and exhibitors discourage people from breeding dogs, which they believe is best left to the people who know the breed standards and health concerns.

Great book to have before purchasing this breed of dog. There are alot of things people need to know before finding a breeder for Cavalier King Charles.
