A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a sweet hound with rich chestnut markings on a pearly white background. What are Cavalier spaniels known for? Ideal for family or "empty nesters," the Cavalier King Charles spaniel is affectionate, and intelligent with endearing devotion. The spaniel is superb with children and a pleasurable companion. The Cavalier King Charles spaniel was bred to warm laps in drafty castles or on chilly carriage rides. The breed's name is derived from King Charles II of Great Britain; his father's supporters were known as Cavaliers during the English Civil Wars, and he continued using the name as a political designation after he was declared king. Charles was said to be so fond of his spaniels that he took them everywhere. Queen Victoria was a dog lover from an early age. For her 17th birthday a portrait of Dash, her beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, was given to her as a gift from her mother, The Duchess of Kent.
