King Charles SpanielsRoyal Pups These small spaniels have free reign in England and it's the law of the land.
Not all famous small dogs have graced the silver screen. Such is the case with King Charles spaniels. With a name like that, you'd think this breed was of royal descent. Turns out they kind of are. These loving and friendly pooches were quite popular among ladies of the royal court during Tudor times. But the stately name comes from the undying devotion bestowed upon the toy spaniel by none other than King Charles II. Charles had a collection of toy spaniels and was rarely seen without one trotting alongside him. He loved them so much that he wrote a royal decree allowing the spaniel in any public place in England, even inside the House of Parliament. This decree still stands today -- it's good to be king. |
