The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is the largest member of the toy family. The breed naturally grows a substantial silky coat of moderate length, and has a full-length tail (unlike most other spaniels) which is typically carried aloft when walking. Cavaliers are highly affectionate, and some have called them "the ultimate lap dog". Most Cavaliers are playful, extremely patient and eager to please. As such, dogs of the breed are usually good with children and other dogs. A well-socialized Cavalier will not be shy with much larger dogs.
