Favorite Food: salmon Favorite Walk: anywhere his mom is Best Tricks: finding his ball Arrival Story: I had just rehomed my 1st dearly loved cocker spaniel (see Teddy's page) and I needed a smaller dog with a more moderate energy level. I love spaniels but believed the cocker was the smallest. I did some research and rediscovered cavaliers, the breed description was of a lap dog, so I thought it was the perfect choice. Nani was 6 months old when I adopted him from a breeder. Bio: Nani is a Hawaiian name, his full name is Makana Nani, or beautiful gift. He is the highest energy dog I've ever had! If anyone tells you cavaliers are lap dogs don't believe them! It took 2 years for him to begin to calm down, but we made it! I recently found out from a Cavalier breeder that ruby cavaliers are very hyper dogs, it's one of the ruby characteristics. I've Been On Dogster Since:
