The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel coat

Cavalier King Charles spaniels have a silky, medium-length coat with long feathering on the ears, chest, legs and feet. There are four colours: Blenheim (chestnut on white), tricolour (black and white with tan points), ruby (solid rich red) and black and tan. Blenheims often have a chestnut spot on the top of the head, called the Blenheim spot or lozenge, which owners look for. The large, round, dark eyes and long feathered ears frame one of the gentlest faces of any breed.

How we handle a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel's coat

Our checker compares markings and their position with your photo, including the Blenheim spot and the white blaze. Ear set is scored so the long feathered ears hang right. Eye colour and shape are matched: a Cavalier's big dark eyes are the heart of its likeness, and a portrait with small or light eyes is regenerated.

Which style suits a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Renaissance royal fits perfectly: King Charles spaniels appear in royal portraits from the 1600s, and Queen Victoria's spaniel Dash was painted by Edwin Landseer. Watercolor suits Blenheims. Festive suits the ornament. You see all 4 styles (Renaissance royal, watercolor, minimal line art, festive) on your own pet before choosing.

Common Cavalier King Charles Spaniel portrait mistakes

Common Cavalier portrait mistakes: ears drawn too short and smooth, a muzzle that is too long, and a Blenheim spot left off. Many generic portraits also shrink the eyes, which changes the breed's soft expression. Rubies are sometimes rendered orange; colour is compared with your photo so a ruby stays deep red.

Photographing your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Brush the ears before the photo. Use soft window light at eye level and catch the eyes looking up at a treat just above the lens. Avoid flash on tricolours and black and tans. More tips in our guide to photographing your pet for a portrait.

Questions

Do you do all four Cavalier colours?

Yes: Blenheim, tricolour, ruby and black and tan. Coat colour and markings are compared with your photo.

Did royalty really have portraits of these spaniels?

Yes. Toy spaniels appear in many 17th century royal portraits, and Queen Victoria commissioned paintings of her spaniel Dash.

Is the portrait painted by an artist?

No. PawRegal portraits are AI-assisted: an image model creates the portrait from your photo in one of 4 fixed styles, and a separate model checks the likeness before it can print. You approve a preview first, and if it does not look like your pet you get a free redo or a full refund.
