Just read this and I'm glad it all worked out well so far. I would suggest if anyone else is in this situation again, ie small kids that you try and find a breeder with their own small kids or grandkids constantly around. I have 3 boys, 8, almost 6 and just turned 3, and after doing my research decided a cav would be perfect for us now. I've had Cardigan corgis in the past and much as I love them still we have way too many stairs in our current home, and from my experience are better with school age kids and up. Maybe in a couple of years we'll get a Cardi to keep our Cav company. Our tri colour boy Ben has been with us a week now, and the breeders are grandparents to 17 grandkids, so after meeting our boys on two seperate occasions were happy to let us bring him home. And he is lovely and friendly and placid and making our non dog friends all puppy clucky lolz.

Just got a new 9 wk old Cavalier puppy from a registered breeder Hes a gorgeous wee thing and my boys adore him already. Have had corgis in the past so I'm not totally a dog novice, just a Cavalier novice Just a few questions: Is crate training as in puppy playroom and doggy den a good idea for a Cavalier? It seems like an awesome way to get him toilet trained and chew toy trained asap to a novice. Hes been pretty good at night so far, hes in a puppy safe laundry and first night he went straight to sleep and didnt cry til it was daylight. The nights since then hes cried a bit but settled down quickly. But always awake and crying from dawn lolz. He might need to spend a couple of hours alone during the day once or twice a week so I'd like to get him used to this asap. Hes been fed Supercoat, Roo mince and VIP puppy roll to this point. I want to put him on a better quality food so I'm looking at Royal Canin and Eagle Farm. Is he too young for the Royal Canin cavalier breed specific food? What age should he go on that if he is too young at this stage? Which of the two Eagle farm puppy foods is better: Holistic select small/mini puppy or the small/medium breed puppy formula? Any other suggestions food wise? I don't have time to do a raw/natural diet for him so please only commercial food recommendations. We have a cat and she just hisses at him and runs away, so he chases her. I'm hoping they can be friends and keep each other company. Any suggestions to help them get along? Thanks for any help in advance and sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place.
