CAVALIERS - INTRODUCTION
|
Introduction
and history of our kennel and Cavaliers.
The Cavalier is an active, graceful and well balanced dog, with a
gentle expression.
His large, dark eyes and melting expression are a true indication of his
sweetness of character. Sturdy and hardy, in a range of four such lovely
colours. It is always difficult to know which to choose.
A happy dog whose pleasures are simple - he will enjoy a long country
walk, meandering round the shops or sitting beside you in front of the
fire. He is good with children, he is a devoted companion, absolutely
non-agressive and easy to care for.
His silky coat requires little attention and his ever-wagging tail shows
how easy he is to please. We enjoy this lovely breed every day!
