Nothing like a King Charles cavalier ❤️❤️❤️

Bonnie is my second CKCS- she’s gone thru therapy dog training and comes with me everyday to assist with Seniors with dementia. They LOVE her and provide so much comfort to the residents where I work. My boyfriend has a two-year old Chocolate Lab and Bonnie does not care for Lucy’s high energy. But loves to hang out with his old, limping, rescued Pit Bull…. My dream is to retire in a year and we’re buying a few acres in Northern California to humanely breed CKCS’s…. Love this video and how well Stonnie works with the assortment of dogs.

Our 2 cavaliers love to hunt birds. They play for 10 minutes and sleep for 10 hours after. Great family dog.

Haha I have a Blenheim princess too, she would give me disapproving looks when she had to go to the bathroom on wet grass. 😂 Cavaliers are just so precious, I call mine my mute child - never complains and rarely barks, so well behaved and patient. Look this video!

That Jack Russell is up for anything and everything !

Stonnie needs to add a People Training Camp to teach us owners how to integrate getting out in the wilderness and partying with our dogs into our daily lives 😆 I struggle on and off with my disability, but this gorge walking seems so therapeutic!!

I have a Cavalier and he is wonderful. Very active dog, loves to run, chase birds, cats, basicly anything moving reason why I can't take him off leash when we go for walks. I'm still working on his training and paying attention to me. This breeds gets easly distracted. I love him and wish he had a play mate.

My CKCS passed just 3 weeks ago today. You have to remember though, CKCS's were originally bred to be working/hunting dogs for small prey, so in the end it comes down to how they're raised as to whether or not they do well out doors or prefer the quiet indoor life. Mine loved to be outdoors, even when I told her it's time to go home, she knew the routes and paths so she always tried to pull me in a different direction just to keep staying out instead of going home. I sometimes regretted when I told her "you lead and I'll follow".....you wouldn't think a little dog would go so far, she took me on a nearly 10 mile hike with half the stops ending up at the shops where she knew she could get sausages xD

“ I Teach the Princess to rescue herself “ 🐶 GO MOLLY 🏆

Well you certainly know your Cavvies! We have a ‘rescue’ male cavvies and he is just as you described! I nicknamed him ‘the Velcro dog!’ Absolutely a gorgeous lap dog that loves to go for short walks. Definitely likes to ‘ride’ in the car, so he is with us. His best bud was a miniature poodle, sadly he has since passed away. We nicknamed the poodle ‘the leaping lizard’ such an energy contrast to our cavvie, and yet they loved each other. Fortunately we are retired so Cody gets loads of attention, all day everyday, he loves nothing more than that, except food! 🤣

This was super interesting. All my cavaliers have been able to hold their own with any other dog. They may be smaller but they LOVE swimming, getting muddy and having fun! They were all male so not sure if that is relevant. I find they are a smaller dog with a big dog spirit. One swam so far into the ocean once that I had to strip down and go get him. I miss him.

Our Cavalier behaves like yours. he doesn't stay with the group, but explores independently. So unfortunately he needs a towline. But we love him so much! Greetings from Germany!

Pippen!! Can’t wait to come pick him up on Friday! Looks like he’s doing great

I love this video. My tri-color Cavi Cody was the love of my life. I hope to have another one day. 💓

i have a couple of King Charles and I've been pleasantly surprised when I saw that really they are just spaniels after all.

Your black labs are beautiful! ❤️ I’m on a waitlist for one right now. My cavalier and English lab are only a couple weeks apart in age and came home to us within a month of each other, they have by far been the most amazing breeds to own, especially together. Such loyal and loving dogs.

You had to be a teacher in another life Stonnie😊

Lovin that Jack Russel ! Giving it hell 👊🏽👊🏽🙌🏽

Love this so great to see a king C Cav enjoying new things and exsploring. Shows that any dog can do things with the right support. And the stay on your 3 black laps when u was doing her course work was awesome they just chilled and wasnt bothered at all. 👍👍

Hey Stonnie,we love you and you've been a big help.

Good stuff Uncle Stonnie! Thanks for all the effort that goes in to these videos!

I have a cavalier and a GWP, can honestly say they’re a great combination. I used to do bikejoring with my cavalier and wish I had got him into hunting as I think he’d have loved it.

That was a good one Uncle Stonnie....well worth the wait.

Nice to see you "back" been missing the longer dog videos

Miley knows you have treats in your front pockets 🤣🤣

Anouther great video! My 14 week old chubby is doing great thanks to your awesome videos, Thank you uncle Stonnie.

Brilliant show🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Another fantastic and informative video Stonnie. Thank you, loved it.

Molly is a Spaniel. Spaniels were bred to flush out birds on land. The other dogs are retrievers who excel at picking up dead ducks out of the water after they've been shot down. I have CKCS that looks like Molly. He is brave and adventuresome. When we hike with other dogs he is always the one that is farthest from the trail checking out nooks and crannies. In the water? Not so much.

So excited for next weeks video all about the cavalier! We love cavaliers 👑

I love your videos Stonnie! Thank you 🤗

That was a great video. Love your approach and way of talking to each dog!

I’ve had Labs, Cavaliers, Boston Terriers, cocker Spaniels, a Bouvier des Flander (for a while). All super for their own self, but Boston Terriers are the whole thing. Now I have a tri color Cav. and a Boston. I’m old. 15 different dogs. One husband👀🥰🇺🇸‼️

Such a stunning view over the river with those amazing dogs..

Next Saturday I’m getting my ruby Cavalier puppy and Uncle Stonnie makes a video with Cav 💛💙 thanks a lot , you’re my favorite (and best in my opinion) dog person on the internet. I just love your style and energy, cheers from Poland Stonnie!

… So nice to see you and some pups, Uncle Stonnie. 💙 Warmer weather on the way. You and George will be living in your shorts. 😆 Blessings to you and your family. 🥰🌾🕊

Awesome…thanks

This was a great episode Stonnie! Lots of valuable observations pointed out, thank you!

☘️🇮🇪 very nice hiking 🚶‍♂️ with your amazing dogs 🐕 🐶🦮 they are lovely such wonderful view

Great video Stonnie! Love those black labs! ♥️

I adore your handsome chocolate and black Labradors! Fun to see all the pups swimming & having fun 🐕 in the brook!

Great information

I have a Cavalier. Love her. Yes she is a Princess.

That was super!

I’m so happy to see you taking out a CKCS for an adventure. We have a 3 year old CKCS Lucy who is the best companion. I just got back from 3 hours of paddle boarding with her. She is a princess but she also loves to be with her people and is game for anything. We spend half our time in a city where she gets a 3 mile walk in the morning off leash in Central Park and has a dog walker take her out twice a day for 30 minute walks while we are at work. The other half of the time we are at our house where our half acre yard is plenty big enough for her to play fetch, she loves going to the beach to chase birds and swimming after her ball. We also take her on vacation with us since she can come on the plane in her carrier. She has been hiking in Sedona, running on the beaches in Organ and Florida and is cute enough to be snuck into the pools at 5 star hotels, and top restaurants in Napa. Cavaliers are such a great breed, for me perfect!

I love this!! You crack me up talking about the princess 🤣

I love your place, such beautiful nature, environment..

Hey this was really great and really liked your style. Not too much, just pushing Miley gently out of her comfort zone and giving her the confidence and reassurance she needed to do it on her own.

Love the AK!

Love you channel!!

Love Molly. I have a cavalier, poodle mix named Ollue. He has a lot in common with Molly. It's great she has those friends to play with. Mine loves to get out but doesn't walk far . Need to find a creek for him to try swimming.

What a great video Stonnie. The best dog trainer around.

Love how you always thread in common sense child easing with dog raising. I’ve met my fair share of princesses who were perfectly capable. Nothing wrong with having preferences and other areas you excel as long as you’re smart and know you can always take care of yourself if needed. Taught incompetence hurts everyone! Dogs too.

We always had a lab and a shi tzu when I was growing up. My parents still always keep that combination. Shi tzus are pretty tough little dogs. Love to roll around with the labs.

Beautiful place you have there in Kentucky.

We have a 14 year old black lab and a 9 year old cavalier. Just good as gold together!

Really appreciated your thoughts, your ideas sharing us, your videos. Spaniels are a great working dogs, always hyper and energetic. Am excited seeing Mali’s progression. Having a lab similar with your peppin, she’s a food driven and everybody loves her. Always looking for belly rub and acting like a lap dog. She’s a great dog. Thank you so much Sir!

Hoping you’ll do a Jack Russell series soon. Looking to get a small dog with a big dog personality and think the Jack Russell might fit the bill. Thanks!!

Can’t wait to get my 7 month old fox red lab out swimming now that the lakes are thawed out. Thanks Stonnie love the videos

Your farm is so beautiful! I have a cavalier 18 months old. He would love a labrador brother!

The Jack Russel is hilarious....ain't nothing stopping him

Nice video and wonderful places! Would you consider posting more about terriers? I have a 2 year-old rescue terrier and I'd love to hear what you think about them!

My cavalier is a get up and go dog. He loves being around big dogs. I feel like female cavaliers tend to be more timid. My male is about 20lbs & nothing can slow him down.

Love this video I have cavs and my little one is a very bossy madam 😆

I sure miss my precious cavvy. She was most definitely a princess 🥰

Great video! Would you consider doing a Is It Right For You? video on the Bernese Mountain Dog? Would love to hear your perspective.

Such a cute pup. I love that you take them all on adventures

Have two princesses...they are beautiful and loving breed❤❤

I love Cavalier King Charles spaniels. Of course I have a soft spot for spaniels. My first dog was a sheltie cocker spaniel cross and my second dog was a springer spaniel lab cross. Something about those soft spaniel, eyes and ears that I just love.

Love my King Charles Miss Mia Mu

So glad Tucker could be with you, cameraman, Georgie & Charlotte in 2020. He is a “prince” cavalier -fabulous, polite, adventurous dog not afraid of other big dogs. I can take him anywhere. Then when we are relaxing he will snuggle up in my lap. Perfect dog for me! Your 4.5 weeks were tough on him and sure made him a happy dog! Your gorge is beautiful!

Great video

All of my Cavaliers have loved water and getting mucky outdoors. They also love to chase birds. Sweetest little dogs though.

I have a cockalier (king charles x cocker spaniel). He’s extremely sassy but also sweet at the same time. He seems to be able to keep up with the bigger dogs but he doesn’t care for puppies or really small dogs. He is very loyal and never leaves our side, such a cuddle bug!

I have a King Charles Cavalier ( male 1 1/2 y.o.) that would totally be at home with your pack. His name is Charlie and he absolutely LOVES big dogs. loves the water and is a major fan of long hikes on our local bush trails( we do daily hikes of 6-7+ kms ) I'm 70 so I often have to tap out on the distance we cover once it starts to exceed 8 kms ( like Miley his nose is to the ground on the hunt) He hit the water first time and loves to swim...I have to admit I never really babied him and I think it's paid dividends and I have the greatest little "wingman" any senior could hope for! Great video and I love to see how your getting Miley out of her "Princess Pants" and truly enjoying being a dog!!

Hard to tell on my little low res screen, but was there a little swivel hips going on? Getting her to love the water is probably the best thing you can do for these breeds that are known to develop hind quarter problems.

Excellent video as always. I'm thinking of downsizing for my next crew. I just love my Golden retrievers but they might be a little too much dog for my golden years.... unless I get some chubby ones

No criticism Stony but all CKC spanials are not equal. Some of my clients find they have a real spaniel; totally go, up for anything, get real grumpy if they can't get in the brush and flush some game. Variability!

Did you catch my post last night? . He is so awesome but his owner needs some Stonnie sense.

I've got two cavies 6 mo apart in age. We got the older one as a pup and he is good to go anywhere with you but is definitely needy. When you pointed out how she looked nervous that's exactly how our older is when we hike and go into water. We got our second at 6 mo trained by the breeder. He is much braver in situations like this running right in. At the dog park the younger is running around with all the other dogs while the older follows me around after greeting the other people.

Always had a soft spot for cavalier King Charles, lovely to see one in the great outdoors! Do all dogs eventually get to like, or at least get used to, swimming? I’ve a working dog lacking in confidence and often reluctant to try new things, I can “assist” him into the water but wonder is it worth persevering with something he’s very uncomfortable with if he’ll never end up enjoying himself.

I got both lab and ckc...and ckc is tuff in cold forest.

You’ve got a beautiful piece of property! And a creek to boot. Are you in the Carolina’s?

I love cavaliers but I know they are not the right breed for me. Love this video and can’t wait for the others.

The internet has informed me this afternoon that Cavs are hard to take off leash because they tend to follow their nose off and away and you need a good fence, despite being super attached to their humans. I guess we saw that here 😂 I also have an English chubby, and consider myself lucky!

I'll take that little English chubby, all day, every day, and twice on Sunday. That's my kind of dog. That's a good dog right there. Those three amigos are great dogs too. No shortage of fun and canine mischief escaping them. The little princess just needs to learn that she's a good dog too.

YES, Cavs are "Princess Dogs" since they were bred to be lap dogs for the Dames of the Castle - true! We've had three Cavs, all have passed, about to get another pair, all are solid colors of ruby or black&tan. For a small dog, they have great temperament - not at all high strung like most small doggies. They DO REQUIRE FAR more attention when training for come/stay - but never a problem with manners, always very polite. All our Cavs were relatively easy to leash train, but off leash their hunting instincts kick in and they can wander, as seen with Miley. Be interesting to see Uncle Stonnie working with a young Cav and take it from the "space cadet" they all are to a come/stay graduation. Key with Cavs is DAILY attention, exercise, and cursory training.

Gotta love JRT's man,they really don't care lol.

Maybe the owner of Millie needs to take up Bird hunting. She seems to have the instincts. That little JR seems like abit of a wildman and I'm not to surprised. Guess you could look at him abit like a featherweight MMA fighter.

Cute pup. Watching this reminded me of my mini pin he was the leader of pack. Loved playing with a st Bernard and dachshund all males. Very funny to watch. My dog had no idea he was tiny maybe 12 pounds thebothers were 25 pounds and 125 pounds. Funny part was none of the dogs were fixed back then either. All energetic and we'll behaved.

We are thinking of getting a cavalier and we have a yellow Lab, who is a sweet boy. he does like to play tug-of-war and wondering if a cavalier can keep up? he loves to snuggle and just a silly boy.

Those labs just sitting there make me rethink my choice on a GSP. 😂 I guess it's true- "All dogs want to be labs and all labs want to be black." Great video, Stonnie!

They are very good and fast at agility.

I must choose the Cavalier, with all my heart. ♥

Love u Stonnie I have a new Cav boy Bentley…he needs you

Yes, this little dog is cute - but I have only eyes for the three black labs. Majestic,relaxed, Sovereign, "in sich ruhend" (can't express this in english).

did you do the "is it right for you?" with Cavalier King Charles Spaniel yet? I was looking for it but I didn't find it

Now, I have a lab that looks exactly like Pippin, except he start to behave like him only about after 1 and a half hour's hike, so I guess the chubbys can have much more energy as well, especially if they have fox reds in their blood line

Nothing but the truth Stonnie
