The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Statistics
Weight: 5.4-8kg
Height: 30-33cm at shoulder
Coat: Long, silky and free from curl. A slight wave is
permissable. There should be plenty of feather.
Colour: There are four recognised colours as follows
Blenheim: Rich chestnut markings well broken up on a pearly white ground. The
markings should be evenly divided on the head, leaving room between the ears
for the much valued lozenge mark or spot (a unique characteristic of the breed).
Tricolour: Black and white well spaced and broken up, with tan markings over the
eyes, on cheeks, inside ears, inside legs, and on underside of tail.
Ruby: Whole coloured rich red.
Black and Tan: Raven black with tan markins above the eyes, on cheeks, inside
ears, on chest and legs and underside of tail. The tan should be bright.
General Appearance:
An active, graceful and well-balanced dog. Absolutely fearless and sporting in
character and very gay and free in action; totally free from trimming and all artificial
colouring.
Head and Skull:
Head almost flat between the ears, without dome. Stop shallow. Length from
base of stop to tip about 1.5 inches. Nostrils should be well developed and the
pigment black. Muzzle well tapered. Lips well-covering but not hound like. Face
should be well filled out underneath the eyes. Any tendency to appear "snipey" is
undesirable.
Eyes:
Large, dark and round but not prominent. The eyes should be spaced well apart.
Ears: Long and set high with plenty of feather.
Mouth: Level; scissor-bite preferred.
Neck: Moderate length - slightly arched.
Confirmation:
Forequarters - Shoulders well laid back; legs moderate bone and straight.
Body - Short-coupled with plenty of spring of rib. Back level. Chest moderate
leaving ample heart room.
Hindquarters - Legs with moderate bone; well-turned stifle-no tendency to cow or
sickle hocks.
Feet - Compact, cushioned and well-feathered.
Faults:
Light eyes. Undershot and crooked mouth and pig jaws. White marks on
whole-coloured specimens. Courseness of type. Putty noses. Flesh marks.
Nervousness.
