"Willie, our English King (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/English Toy Spaniel mix) at 6 years old—he is patient with the children who love to play with his feet, pick him up, put him in cute poses and hug him. He loves to be toweled off and vacuumed! He seems to know which toys are his and which are off limits. His are the ones that are all chewed up."
The English King is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the English Toy Spaniel. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.
