As part of the Toy Group, it thrives in an apartment or a house with a fenced yard. With a need for 30 to 60 minutes of daily activity, the breed suits a moderately active, urban-living owner, whether single or family-oriented (with children), who enjoys moderate outdoor activities. Cavaliers have a life expectancy of 10 to 14 years and are prone to Mitral Valve Disease, Heart Murmurs, and Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS).
