About Shasta

Renowned as the perfect lapdog and considered one of the most regal breeds out there, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a joy to have around. This breed's charming persona, combined with its royal lineage, has been capturing hearts for centuries. As they trot along with their feathered tails wagging in sync, Cavaliers carry an air of nobility that's simply hard to resist. 

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, often referred to simply as 'Cavaliers', are small dogs with big personalities. Their compact size doesn't hinder their playful, energetic nature – they're just as happy chasing a butterfly as they are lounging on your lap. Their love for both play and relaxation makes them excellent companions for families and individuals alike. 

A Cavalier's soft, expressive eyes are a window to their affectionate and gentle souls. The breed is known for its friendliness and adaptability, eagerly greeting family, friends, and even strangers with the same enthusiastic tail wag and eager-to-please attitude. 

Their silky coats, in colors of Blenheim (chestnut and white), tricolor, black and tan, or ruby, are a sight to behold, adding to their appeal. They are a graceful and well-balanced breed, possessing a smooth, effortless gait that's reminiscent of their spaniel ancestors. 

While they carry the sophistication of royal spaniels, Cavaliers are sturdier and more robust than they look. They adore being part of everyday family life and won't shy away from any fun or frolic. These Spaniels have a strong desire to please – a trait that, along with their natural intelligence, makes them quite trainable.
