Becham is an exquisite and extremely sweet  Cavalier King Charles pup.  He was adored by his owners and loved as much as possible, but due to job requirements, he has been crated most his life so is very people attached.  He has been surrendered due to his owner  moving into an apartment that does not allow dogs and he is lucky enough to be with a foster who loves him dearly already.  If you have the time and knowledge  to work with such a beautiful and sweet puppy please apply.  He needs a single family home with a fenced yard, not an apartment and  someone who is home a lot, not a full time working family.  He will do great with children, but until he is better trained, no toddlers since he likes to jump and would like nothing more than to jump in your arms when you come into the room.  Please read the description of Cavaliers below and take it to heart as it summarizes these little guys well.

 

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is descended from the King Charles Spaniel and other small Toy Spaniels seen in many sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth century paintings. Its breeders were trying to reproduce a toy dog similar to those seen in portraits from the time of England's Charles II, who was said to dote on these small dogs. In the 1920's the American, Roswell Eldridge, offered prize money during a Cruft's Dog Show in London, to any person exhibiting King Charles Spaniels with long noses. He was looking for dogs similar to those appearing in Van Dyck's paintings of King Charles II and his spaniels. By the 1940's these dogs were classified as a separate breed and were given the prefix Cavalier, to differentiate them from their forebears. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is an eager, affectionate tail-wagger. Lively, outgoing and sportive. These fearless lively little dogs want to please. They are intelligent enough to understand what you want and therefore are usually easy to train and respond well to gentle obedience training. They are said to be naturally well behaved and get along well with other dogs and non-canine pets. Cavalier's love people and need lots of companionship to be happy. They should not be left alone all day. They are descended from hunting dogs and love to romp in the great outdoors. This breed sometimes displays a chasing instinct and should be kept well enclosed or leashed so he does not get lost or run over by a car! They do best with older considerate children and some can be reserved with strangers. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a pleasant companion dog. It has a noteworthy sense of smell and vision and can be used in short hunts in open country. They do well in competitive obedience. They have a life expectancy of 9-14 years.
