Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are loyal people-pleasers who love to be around their families as much as possible, so those looking for a lap dog can do no better than this breed.
They are naturally well-behaved and very easy to train. On the other hand, keep in mind that this breed is energetic, and does better in a house with a yard than in a small apartment. And if your family is away from home a lot, look elsewhere, because these dogs hate to be alone. Separation anxiety can become a real issue for them.
