Cockalier

The breed

The Cockalier is a small, attractive companion dog created from the Cocker Spaniel and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. It often has soft, wavy or silky fur, feathering on the ears, legs, and tail, and large expressive eyes. Coat colors vary widely and may include black, brown, cream, white, tan, or mixed patterns. Its overall look is gentle, sporty, and distinctly spaniel-like.

Cockaliers are generally affectionate, cheerful, and people-oriented dogs. They are often known for their playful nature and sweet, eager-to-please expression. Many enjoy being close to family members and can be social with familiar people and other animals. Their temperament commonly blends the Cocker Spaniel’s lively curiosity with the Cavalier’s calm, loving disposition.
