Traditionally, during Tudor times in England, Toy Spaniels were common as ladies ' pets, but it was under the Stuarts that they were given the royal title of King Charles Spaniels. King Charles II was seldom seen without two or three of these spaniels at his heels. The red and white strain of Toy Spaniels was bred at Blenheim Palace by the Dukes of Marlborough. The breed died out due to the acceptance and popularity of flat faced dogs like Pugs and King Charles Spaniel (also called "Charlies" and known in the US as the English Toy Spaniel). The breed was reintroduced in the 1920 and in 1945 the Kennel Club granted separate registration for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
