But which of these Cavalier King Charles Spaniels carry the highest price tag?


Blenheim Cavaliers are the priciest among Cavalier King Charles Spaniels due to their rich chestnut coats and striking white markings. But what exactly makes them so expensive? Their history plays an important role. Blenheim Cavaliers are named after Blenheim Palace, home of the Duke of Marlborough, where John Churchill, the 1st Duke of Marlborough, received a small red-and-white spaniel as a gift. This spaniel, named Blenheim, became the foundation of the breed we know today.


Blenheim Cavaliers are rare compared to other coat colors within the breed. Breeders carefully select and breed for certain traits to keep the purity and beauty of the Blenheim coat, resulting in low availability and higher demand.


Aesthetic appeal is another factor. The blend of chestnut and white creates a striking appearance that captivates dog enthusiasts. From the blaze on the forehead to the distinctive chest patch, every part of the Blenheim coat shines with elegance and charm. The distinctive red-and-white markings of Blenheim Cavaliers are known as "Blenheim spots" or "Blenheim kisses," adding to their good looks.


Blenheim Cavaliers are known for their gentle and loving nature, making them excellent companions for families, children, and individuals alike. Due to their history and rare coat colors within the Cavalier breed, Blenheim Cavaliers often command premium prices in the market and are highly sought after by dog enthusiasts worldwide.


Combined with proper health screening, they portray a perfect combination of beauty, temperament, and vitality.
