It’s strange, the topic is called King Charles Spaniel, but everyone writes about the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and yet these are completely different breeds.

Choosing a puppy and price Basically, all puppies are sold with puppy metrics (pedigreed). You are unlikely to be able to find a purebred cavalier who is sold just like that. And all purebred puppies are known to be expensive. The price varies - from 35 to 80 (St. Petersburg). And you will also need to buy toys, bedding, food, hygiene products, etc.
At first we got a puppy at the age of 2 months. During the day, my husband and I were at work, so the puppy had to sit alone all day. We were very worried that he wouldn’t be able to, would be rowdy or, on the contrary, would withdraw... But in the end, the puppy adapted very quickly (only in the first couple of days he was afraid and was extremely modest). Then he jumped, ran, bit everything and everyone) But most importantly, he calmly endured and tolerates our absence (does not bark, does not damage furniture, does not fall into hysterics...). Of course, while he was small, we tried not to leave him for too long; we came home as early as possible.
Food We decided that we would feed our dog dry food (holistic grade). These foods are balanced and there are many different flavors and manufacturers. Considering that the breed is not large, packs of food last a long time. Feeding with food is optimal in my opinion. Providing a balanced diet with natural feeding is quite difficult and more expensive (both in terms of money and time). The dog eats the food well (we periodically change the taste, but not the manufacturer - it’s better not to change it if your dog eats with appetite and tolerates it well).
Overall assessment The dog is very quiet - ours doesn’t bark at all, very rarely, he growls/gurls/purrs, but doesn’t bark
