19

    Size

    • According to the American Kennel Club, an ideal height is 12 to 13 inches, measured at the withers, a term used to measure animals that refers to the highest point of the dog's body at the shoulders. A corresponding ideal weight for the breed ranges from 13 to 18 lbs. These size requirements, known as "breed standard" issue for every breed by the AKC, form the basis for judging.

    Head Features

    • The head must be slightly rounded without a peak, appearing flat because of the placement of the ears, which are high on the head but not close. Set well apart, the eyes display a deep brown color and are very round. The nose length from the base of the shallow stop to the tip measures a minimum of 1 1/2 inches, with well-developed black nostrils. The ideal mouth contains strong and even teeth.

    Body Features

    • The ideal features for the body of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel start with a fairly long neck leading to sloping shoulders. The body features a level back covered with a long and silky coat that is soft to the touch. The dog will stand level on all four legs with a tail that is level with his back.
