 In the U.S. the breed has appeared in the AKC's records since the club was founded.
Before 1903 all four colors were classified as separate breeds for show purposes, but were permitted to intermix for breeding. But in 1904 the AKC ruled that they should be combined into one breed, the English Toy Spaniel, and shown in two color varieties: King Charles and Ruby; and Prince Charles and Blenheim.
Although the black-and-tan variety of the English Toy Spaniel is called the King Charles, the breed was actually known in England and in Scotland more than 100 years before the 17th-century reign of King Charles II.
The English Toy Spaniel is a bright little dog who is affectionate and willing to please. He is a loyal breed and likes to sit in his owner's lap.
The English Toy Spaniel's gentle and loving temperament make him an ideal dog for the elderly. |
