Why do they say?
Before I got Sandy some people said to me and I read that CKCS should never be let off the lead. Why is this and is it true?
I know by my experience of Sandy her recall has been good from day one of letting her off the lead (about 14 weeks old) and apart from when she was in season and the one time she bolted her recall has been 90-100%.

Re: Why do they say?
I've never heard that before about them, when I was looking at them as a breed we might be interested in no one I spoke to mentioned it.

Re: Why do they say?
I had a lovely Cavalier King Charles, Meg, who sadly passed away last year
 But she was brilliant off the lead! We never used the lead with her after we got confident with her heel work. She never left our side, not once!  Unlike my little terror now, a cocker spaniel who does his own thing!

Re: Why do they say?
I have a friend who has a CKCS and she is perfect off lead, rarely leaves her side and I don't think she's the type to go overboard on the training so maybe just a wee myth!

Re: Why do they say?
Personally Ive never heard of it and know a lot of cavaliers that go off lead. In fact I cant think of a more biddable easy going breed and I cant imagine they have a high prey drive to chase. Therefore I should think they are fairly easy to train recall included and seem very owner orientated. As I say though dont know the breed really, but from observation and meeting them aand taking into consideration what they were originally breed for, personally I cant understand why.

Re: Why do they say?
never heard of it for a ckcs
 can`t imagine why anyone would say they shouldn`t be allowed off lead, in fact i`ve never heard of any breed of spaniel being particularly bad off lead. think someone may have been trying to put you off the breed possibly?
