Dog type according to FCI

companion and toy dogs

FCI description

Dogs of this group were not bred to fulfill a certain function (hunting, hating, ...), but to be a good companion for humans. They look very different, also character-wise they vary strongly. Many are self-confident, social and lovable. With loving education and enough species-appropriate occupation, you can find here a pleasant and faithful companion in the everyday life, who can adapt mostly well.

Short description

The King Charles Spaniel is very happy being able to spend time with his family. He can be very shy around strangers. Other than that he is a peaceful family-dog, that needs a lot of outdoor activtiy in order to be relaxed inside.
