I have been searching around for a new dog to add to our home, I have decided on a King Charles Spaniel, can anyone direct me to where we can purchase, I have been looking around with no success,
Hi Penny I think Lorenzo's link is an excellent one.
King Charles spaniels are lovely dogs but without coming over too negative can I just inform you of a tv programme here in the UK recently where they were looking into inter breeding with King Charles as a main topic. It seems that many can have problems where their brains are too big for their actual heads. This causes much distress to the poor dog. Obviously this isn't the case with all King Charles but something for you to be aware of and if you decide to go forward to be aware of the breeder. I can't remember the name of the programme but it may show up on google etc.
Good luck with your search. I hope you find your new friend very soon.
Hi Penny, I agree why don't you have a look in some of the animal shelters, they always have lots of lovely dogs who need homes, the one in Pollenca is great, Refugio Animales Pollença +34 971532180, email refugifina@refugifina.org, you might go there and fall in love with one, let us know what you decide to do
Oh absolutely! He is so sweet, and just a like a naughty puppy, he pops up everywhere! Its surprising how many photos you look at and find him somewhere in them at some angle or another!
There is another rescue centre in Palma, Son Reus here is the link to the website which has a list and photos of the dogs they have :- Llista d'animals acollits
Sorry Sparky, back on thread, yes lots of rescue centers, do think about a rescue dog or at least check if they have any spaniels, so many poor dogs stuck without loving families, and cats for that matter
thank you all for your replies and information, we currently have a springer, so looking for a companion for him, although something a bit calmer( although) got to say our springer is well behaved, it took a lot of training.
Fantastic that so many members thought the same as me that it would be just brilliant to give an abandoned dog or puppy a home and with the hundreds of euros difference in the cost of buying a pedigree puppy to taking a dog from one of many refuges on the Island a donation could be made to the centre which will save many lives.
