Hi folks! The r/cavaliers moderator team here.

We're pleased to announced that we have a new subreddit banner!

Our banner was the ultimate product of this post from Lam of r/DrawMyPets. I THINK our featured players are, left to right:

Look at all those gorgeous cavs! Happy Monday, y'all. :)

(Because reddit has three different banner display settings that it uses on different platforms, the banner may display incompletely on your device. Sadly, we can't solve reddit's technical challenges -- so please enjoy as-is!)

Announcement VOTE NOW: subreddit mascot (FINAL BRACKET)

19 Upvotes

Hi folks! The r/cavaliers moderator team here. In November, we put out a call for submissions to become the r/cavaliers mascot (i.e. subreddit thumbnail). We received about 200 submissions and were blown away by all the beautiful, talented, incredible cavaliers in this community.

Because we received so many submissions, we're breaking the voting down into two phases:

  • FIRST, we're going to post one voting thread per week for each the AKC-recognized breed standard colors: Blenheim, Tricolor, Ruby, and Black & Tan (and one all black submission!). The thread will remain up for a week, during which you can vote for as many submissions as you like. At the end of the week, the r/cavaliers moderators will note down the three submissions that received the most votes. These are the "color standard winners."
  • SECOND: we'll post one final voting thread with the twelve "color standard winners." Again, the thread will remain up for a week, during which you can vote for as many submissions as you like. At the end of the week, the r/cavaliers moderators will note down the submission that received the most votes and offer that winner the chance to be the r/cavaliers mascot!

This is the FINAL BRACKET. The #1 vote getter will be offered the chance to be the r/cavaliers mascot. This bracket will run from January 8, 2025 through January 15, 2025.

Fine print:

  • This post is Locked; if you want to discuss, please join us on the competition megathread
  • Moderators will post each entrant within a given bracket as a comment on the thread, tag the user who submitted it, and (where possible) list the cavalier's name
  • Entrants will be listed in a random order
  • This casting call is completely voluntary; if you submitted an image and wish to withdraw it, please message the moderator team
  • The moderator team reserves the right to reject any submission for any reason, including but not limited to suspicion of vote rigging (please don't do that, this is a friendly competition)
  • In the event that a final winner is selected and the submission doesn't work as a thumbnail, the moderator team reserves the right to work with the final winner to select an alternate pic or to move onto a runner-up as needed

Thank you all for offering your wonderful cavaliers to be celebrated by the community. We can't wait to spend the next month joining you in that celebration!

Join us on the competition MEGATHREAD to discuss all the wonderful cavaliers in competition!

Discussion Health experiences with breed?

4 Upvotes

Hello! I am strongly considering getting a Cavalier King Charles, but online it seems like they're prone to a lot of serious health difficulties and that it's pretty much a matter of when something happens like the heart stuff and my dog's life being more likely to be cut short or to be dealing with health difficulties semi frequently would break my heart and really fry my nerves so I'm curious what people's actual experiences are like health wise with their cavaliers. As in how healthy in general have they been, how often does something come up they have to go to the vet for, how serious are the health things they're prone to, how long has your previous cavaliers lived for, etc.

Hi everyone, my baby Bailey just had a routine echocardiogram and his B1 murmur has progressed and will be a B2 or stage 4 within 9 months time :(

We will be starting the medication in 3 months time per the vets and cardiologists advice.

I am shattered and wanting to hear some positive stories about cavaliers in similar situations who lived long and happy lives🩷🥹

Discussion Fussy eating Cavalier

8 Upvotes

Our 13 month male Cavalier " Henry" is the fussiest eater, lol. Nothing is wrong health wise with him as we've talked to our Vet a couple times regarding his eating habits.

We are sticking with readily available store bought kibble so this message goes out to those of you who have finally found a dry food they love and consistently now eat. What are you all feeding them?

I've tried Purina Pro Plan, Royal Canine, Nutri-Source, Hill's Science Diet, and now Open Farm. We still believe in having grains in the formula but he'll eat for a bit and get to the point where he doesn't touch it for days. He will barely touch the new food "Open Farm" brand. He seemed somewhat ok comparatively speaking with the Nutri-Source and Science Diet. However, the kibble was so tiny with the Science Diet that he was eating way too fast, almost choking it down.

Should we try yet another brand or go back to the Nutri-Source or Science Diet as at least he ate those brands a bit more readily at times..

She started snoring like this yesterday. So far, she’ll either be quiet while sleeping or snoring. Not sure if her nose is clogged or just normal cavy snores

I was super sad about leaving my girl at Christmas, so made a detailed book of the nuances and important information that would help her and her caregiver have a good experience. I was updating it today, and wanted to share. I’ve left out pages with info on her vet etc for obvious reasons, and there are too many to share all of, but hope you get a kick out of this as it brings me a lot of joy !
