The Cavalier

    The cavalier is an alert and happy dog with a lot of will to please. It is a soft and following dog that loves to be toghether with the family. This qualitys makes the cavalier breed to an excellent obedience dog, that is very easy to motivate. Many cavaliers has a well developed hunting and struggle instinct, which makes the training easy, but at the same time you have to be careful and look after the dog so it don't hunt everything. The will to please does that hard corrections seldom is needed, and never in the obedience training but sometimes in the everyday obedience, even a delightful little cavalier MUST come directly when you call for example.
   
    The cavalier loves to cuddle and be close, at home it's a real lapdog that is easy to spoil through their soft way to be and their charming temperament. But when it is about tracking, obedience and agility it is full speed! I think that it lives much more working spirit in the most cavaliers  then their owners think. Of course a cavalier handle to be just a pet, but then you probably not see so much of the fantastic  joyful working spirit many cavaliers have. But when you have seen the luck a cavalier radiate when it works, then you realize that this lovely little dog both can and want  to be both a cosy family dog and a capable working dog! The cavalier is like the toller and the bernese a real life enjoying dog, that really knows how to enjoy life!
