I love our Cavalier. He's funny, gentle, patient, and so friendly to everyone...absolutely no neuroses, never has an accident, and he knows tons of words/commands. When they say companion dog, they mean companion, though. He's like a remora with a shark. He does shed a lot, and he has a very long, thick coat. The Cavalier who won best of breed last year was known for his coat, and Teddy's is just as long and thick. I have to brush him every day.
Have you ever tried a toy poodle? They don't shed...I had one who was the most loving dog. He was wonderful. So intelligent...very easy to train and he followed commands so readily. I could really trust him and rarely used a leash. He would look me in the eye and sigh, and I honestly think he understood the emotion of love.
