*Healthy for a senior, just bad a dental cleaning, heartworm negative, is a little hard of hearing and has minimal sight in his right eye, but gets around just fine. So if you are looking for the PERFECT gentleman to add to your family, APPLY today! This boy is a catch! He gets along with everyone he meets and is dog, cat and kid friendly. He has handled 1.5 mile walks like a champ! He enjoys being outside and exploring, sniffing his way through the yard! Ted is a very well trained gentleman, he is potty trained and is non destructive when he is left out when his family goes to work. He has quite a bit of pep in his step for a senior and enjoys going to his daily walks. Thankfully one of our AMAZING foster families stepped up to get him to safety, and the rest is history :) We have no idea why, as he is just THE BEST boy. Sadly, Ted was found as a stray and ended up at an overcrowded shelter, where no one came for him. Please follow the advice provided.

Since its beginnings in the 1950s, the CKCSC USA has taken the position that our Cavaliers must come first and their welfare and protection must be the main concern of the Club. Above all - use common sense and don't be impulsive. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club USA, is the oldest breed Club and founding registry solely for Cavaliers in the United States. Please make sure the breed you are interested in suits your family and lifestyle, and that you can give it the type of home it needs to be happy. Remember - when you take on a new pet, you are making a decision that’s going to significantly affect your life for the next 10-15 years. Responsible breeders don't want to receive emails and messages that simply ask 'how much for a puppy?', or 'when are kittens available' so tell them a bit about yourself. When you contact a breeder, keep in mind that responsible breeders will want some information about things like - the type of home you will offer, how much time you have for your new pet, if you have experience with the breed and if not, if you've researched the breed. While many reputable breeders send animals interstate safely and without issue, we do not encourage this. For many reasons, it is always preferable that you meet and get to know the breeder and vice versa. Our recommendation is that you purchase pets locally and in person. While we make every effort to ensure that the breeders listed on Perfect Pets are registered, responsible, and maintain high ethical standards, please take 5 minutes to read the advice below and also see our detailed information on finding a reputable breeder.
