King Charles Spaniel

King Charles Spaniel
1925

King Charles Spaniels are descended from the aristocratic pets of the Royal Courts, black and tan King Charles Spaniels being special favourites of King Charles II. There are four varieties (black and tan, ruby, tri-colour and Blenheim), which differ only in colour, the Blenheim having a ground of pearly white, with well-distributed chestnut red patches, a wide clear blaze, and in the centre of the skull a "spot" - a clear chestnut red mark about the size of a sixpence. The coat should be long and silky, slightly wavy, but not curly. Height about 8 in. Weight: 8-11 lb.
