| Notes |
| |
The King Charles Spaniel (known as the English Toy Spaniel in
the U.S. and Canada) is a small
breed of
dog in the
spaniel category. The
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a different breed, although it is descended
from and sometimes referred to as a King Charles Spaniel.
History
The breed originated in
Renaissance-era
Great Britain
as a companion dog for royalty, although in that era the breed more closely
resembled the modern
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel than contemporary English Toys. Crosses
between long-snouted toy spaniels and short-snouted breeds such as the
Pug or
Japanese Chin
in the 18th and 19th centuries led to the breed's current appearance.
