Where can you buy a King Charles spaniel?

Answer 1

You can get a King Charles Spaniel from a reputable dog breeder if you want a puppy with a known pedigree and history or is interested in showing your dog. A breeder recommended by a friend or a relative is the best, as some breeders may sell unhealthy puppies.

You may also get a King Charles Spaniel from an animal shelter. Not only are you offering a new home to an animal (at a usually inexpensive price), but you can be sure that it is healthy. However, potential behaviour problems developed from the past may be unknown.

Acquiring a King Charles Spaniel from a friend or relative is also possible, and it is very unlikely that you will end up with a sick dog. However, the chances of getting a dog through this method are odd as most owners want to keep their dogs, few are interested in breeding their dogs and the people you know may not own a King Charles Spaniel.

It is also possible to get a King Charles Spaniel from a pet shop, yet this is highly not recommended as many pet shops are known to sell puppies that are sick or have potential health problems. Many pet shop owners are ignorant about the puppies' health, as well as puppy mills, which is where most pet shop dogs come from. Many puppy mill owners are known to keep their dogs in small cages that were infrequently clean, leading to the spread of diseases as well as causing cruelty to animals.

No matter which way you acquired your dog, it is compulsory to take it to a reputable veterinary clinic for a check-up within three days after its arrival.

Answer 2

You should not buy them because they are cheap.

Cheap dogs, especially pedigree Cavalier King Charles Spaniels which are normally very expensive, is a red flag.
A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel sold by a professional is on average about £550-£700 for a male and £600-£800 for a non-spayed female. Any cheaper than that should get you asking the seller or breeder some very serious questions about their legitimacy.

Cheap dogs are usually the ones mass-bred on illegal breeding farms. These puppies have a large range of health complications and genetic problems, ranging from progressive blindness to a painful heart failure. This could end up costing you thousands in vet fees and medications, plus the emotional hurt you will feel and the blame you will put on yourself for buying so cheap instead of raising your concerns with a local authority.

You should always buy your puppies or dogs from a licensed breeder with a good reputation. Never buy from pet shops because you have no guarantee that the pet shop isn't lying about where they get them from, such as illegal breeders. A proper breeder will supply you with proper, official paperwork.
Private sellers are usually cheaper than professional breeders, but again you have no guarantee that the parents haven't passed any genetic defects onto the puppies and there is no official paperwork.
Dogs are also known to commit incest (they do not have the same concept of right and wrong as we do), again leading to health complications. A dog bought from a pet shop or private seller rather than a professional breeder has no guarantee that the puppy is not a product of incest.

You could consider adopting from a shelter. Most charities only ask for a donation, usually around a minimum of £50. Charities that are also authorities, like the RSPCA in the UK, might also perform a background check on you and will request to inspect your home to make sure it is suitable for a dog before allowing you to adopt. It's just an extra step to ensure you can care for an animal properly, so it doesn't end up back in the shelter later on.
Why breed thousands more when there are already thousands waiting in a shelter for someone to love them?


You should choose a Cavalier based on what you want from the dog. An energetic one to go on morning runs with you? A quiet one to sit by the fire with you while you read a book? A playful one as a companion for a child?
You need to examine the personality traits and the temperament of a dog before buying. Like humans, they all have different personalities. It's no good buying an active dog that loves running if you just want to sit indoors all day reading.

If you want to buy a dog because it is cheap, then sorry to say, but you might not be ready to be a dog owner. Dogs cost about the same as a human baby to care for. As a general rule of thumb, if you cannot afford a human child, you cannot afford a dog. So many dogs end up in shelters or abandoned because the owner did not realise they cost so much to care for.
