The Cavalier was bred in England in the mid- to-late 17th century by crossing the English Toy Spaniels and small Bull Terrier-type dogs. In 1950, the Cavalier was recognized by the Kennel Club. The modern American-bred Cavalier is descended from the importation of Cavaliers from England in 1960. The American Kennel Club officially recognized the breed in 1995.

Cavador Activity Requirements

Cavadors are a hunting dog that was developed in Spain. They are known to have an excellent sense of smell and a strong prey drive. They are medium-to-large sized and have a short, smooth coat that is very easy to groom. While they aren’t known for being particularly energetic, Cavadors do require regular exercise. An hour a day is generally enough to meet this energetic dog’s needs. They can do well in homes with a fenced yard, but they don’t need a lot of space. A daily walk or a run combined with a play session will keep your Cavador happy and healthy. If you are interested in a Cavador, keep in mind that this is a high-energy, athletic, and obedient breed. They enjoy working with their owners and can be quite challenging to train. If you are looking for a companion who will just lie around and snuggle, a Cavador might not be the best choice.
