History/Origin
Any earlier records in the origin of the Cavalier Prince Charles are all subjects of unsolicited speculations. Despite the fact that there were no written sources or proof in black and white, many pet lovers believe that such breed existed way back in the 13th century when the western and the eastern world met to exchange their trade.

In the mentioned canvasses were numerous Spaniels near the feet of famous figures like the Royal Sovereigns, King Philip of Spain and his dear wife, and Queen Mary 1.

During the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1, her subjects created a catalogue that displayed images of all types of canine breeds that existed during her time. In the said catalogue, an essay described the essence of toy dogs serving as companions of ladies in the court.

In 1928, pet lovers established a prestigious organisation for the Cavalier Prince Charles dog breed.
