Leaving A Young Cavalier Alone in General Dog Discussion Posted November 25, 2012 We are looking at getting a young cavalier, nearly 1 year old from his breeder he is being sold due to excessive flecking which makes him unsuitable as a showdog any more His lifestyle currently is crated with 2 other male cavs inside with time a couple of times per day in a large exercise outdoor area He has been show at dog shows and had a little training for same He is one of about 12 Cavs at the kennels so hasn't had a huge amount of individual human contact He is a very outgoing friendly little guy, came and had cuddles with all of us then went off exploring when we visited Wondering how he might settle into a family home where he is the only dog Would be for a gentle but active 9 year old boy I am home most of the week but will be working at least 5 hours one day We are a busy family, out and about alot, he could come to some but not all outings We have horses so busy outside with them we have about 1/2 acre securely fenced on a bigger lifestyle property have read that Cav's should only be left alone for max 30 minutes, this won't be realsitic with our busy lifestyle Any thoughts?

We are looking at getting a young cavalier, nearly 1 year old from his breeder
he is being sold due to excessive flecking which makes him unsuitable as a showdog any more
His lifestyle currently is crated with 2 other male cavs inside with time a couple of times per day in a large exercise outdoor area
He has been show at dog shows and had a little training for same
He is one of about 12 Cavs at the kennels so hasn't had a huge amount of individual human contact
He is a very outgoing friendly little guy, came and had cuddles with all of us then went off exploring when we visited
Wondering how he might settle into a family home where he is the only dog
Would be for a gentle but active 9 year old boy
I am home most of the week but will be working at least 5 hours one day
We are a busy family, out and about alot, he could come to some but not all outings
We have horses so busy outside with them
we have about 1/2 acre securely fenced on a bigger lifestyle property
have read that Cav's should only be left alone for max 30 minutes, this won't be realsitic with our busy lifestyle
Any thoughts?
