Omg this just makes me even more excited to get a puppy when I'm older ❤❤❤

[@herkythecavalier]

YES!!!

[@SEA_ray]

Allie Pfeiffer Same

[@Yeewen88]

I’ve wanted one for years and knew about them for years too

[@DaniAlexandria]

Can you do a video about everything you bought when you were getting your pups

[@herkythecavalier]

YES! Great idea!

[@mariamshafik1512]

yes!

[@simplygiftedbyjeanniedelga5234]

Yes I need this also! We get our baby girl Tri in about a month and we want to get set up! 😊

[@Vallenium2]

Herky The Cavalier did you make one?

[@Bubbibamsen]

I'm a first time dog owner, my boy is 1,5 years now, and I started preparing many years before I got my Cavalier, Alfie. I thought I knew it all, and I was so ready for him. But I found out that you can only prepare so much, and as a first time dog owner, there will come many times where you come past something, you didn't expect with your new puppy. Alfie was the cutest little puppy, I was expecting a destruktive little guy, but he was so well behaved and non destruktive, it was amazingly easy! ❤ But I didn't ever think to expect all the problems with his food, first off he is a very very very picky eater, there is not much food he likes, I've been through 7-8+ different dog foods kibble and wet food to find something he accepted, and around food nr. 5-6 I find out that he has a sensitive digestive system, so I have to be extra carefull what he eats and I needed to find a food his stomach was okay with. I didn't expect all the visits to the Vet either, good ting I have a good inscurance, because in his first year of life, he had been visiting the Vet so many times I actually made money on his inscurance 😱 because he ate something on the walks, wasn't feeling well, or had too loose stool. But he was also more amazing than I expected, he was such a happy puppy, he had no fear, loved everyone, dogs, cats, humans, everyone. ❤ He is so easy to train, he really wants to please. 😍 He is helping me more that I could ever have hoped for. 😍 I'm not as strong a packleader as I expected, he totally have me wrapped around his paw, but what can I say, those big brown puppy eyes! 😘❤ Getting a puppy is hard work, but also more amazing than anyone can predict! 😘🐶

[@karenyeshua5086]

Thank you for posting about your dog

[@Jillei]

Well said

[@OfFieldsAndMeadows]

I just got a lil cavi and no matter how much of a pain he is, I love him so much and I wouldn’t trade him for the world!

[@herkythecavalier]

AMEN TO THAT!

[@jeannesypek5565]

Getting my cavalier puppy today! thanks for the tips!

[@herkythecavalier]

YAYYY!! Welcome home little baby

[@SnowBlueSage]

Ivy’s a lot of trouble. A lot. She still has accidents in the house, a lot of energy (especially in the evening), messes with my underpants, and a lot more. But, she loves everyone, and wants to play, almost every single moment! She also grows up really fast! I remember my mom told me that Lucy ripped up her pants once when she was still a puppy. Lol.

[@herkythecavalier]

HAHAHAHAHA

[@priyeeshofonie9615]

lol

[@dareallme4715]

Cavaliers are soo cute .

[@oliviakanelbulle13]

I am really excited because I got a F1 mini goldendoodle and I am picking him up in 4 weeks (on Valentine’s Day!!) and I can’t wait! We are naming him Rocket! I having been begging my parents for over 4 years and I can’t believe they finally gave in!

[@Ilostbestgirltoacar]

I'm getting a cavie puppy as a gift to myself once I graduate from college, I found a breeder close to me and everything, they've kinda been my dream dogs since childhood, they're just too cute and I love their little personalities

[@kvietimas]

You are are such a wonderful Mom for these babies.

[@Pup_and_Frog_the_Beagles]

I agree with the socialisation point. Our lab was a very poorly puppy and didn't get much socialisation until he was around 5 to 6 months because he was to ill to leave the house, which resulted in him being nervous of people and basically everything else except dogs for some reason. When we got our beagle we were determined to socialize him as early as possible so we carried him around pet shops until he had all his vaccinations then he got to explore on the floor. He loves people although he can be nervous of dogs he's never met before, but he was like that when we brought him home :) herky and Milton are great dogs you guys did so well raising them.

[@mirjanas.6039]

I got a cavalier today!!!im so happy❤️

[@nicimausa]

How did it go? I will get one in a month. ❤

[@itskatarianna]

Herky and Milton is so cute love it 💓 I have a pomeranian and he rarely barks only when he is really annoyed, he's well - potty trained, but the most annoying thing is he is very very picky about his food even his water.

[@FMarieT1]

We’re getting a Cavie puppy in March (should be born any day now!). I haven’t had a puppy in over three years! Great refresher video for me :)

[@sajero2]

Thanks for the tips! I'm getting my first Cavalier (tricolor) in 5 days!! I have had dogs before, but this will be my first Cav and first puppy. Hope I'm ready!

[@funnyfurgus1840]

Will be getting my first dream pup (cavie) in 3 months and are taking notes on ur VERY helpful videos. THANK U SO MUCH!!!

[@Baloo_the_labradoodle]

my Labrador was the perfect puppy, so calm and relaxed, not at all like my beagle who was a mini tornado puppy!

[@herkythecavalier]

They are so different!

[@AdrianGonzalez-ub5tr]

Lucius Maximus was it really that hard to get aa beagle?

[@Baloo_the_labradoodle]

@@AdrianGonzalez-ub5tr not difficult to get a beagle in my area we had a beagle breeder in our area who happened to have a litter we also have a beagle rescue not too far from us 😊

[@anayabhuwalka8019]

I’m so exited, I’m getting my cavalier tomorrow and in my time is 11 in the night so I’m so exited I’m not able to sleep.

[@aliciakeeney1305]

Omg...we have a 9 week old mini aussie puppy. It is like having a newborn baby! It is a 24x7 job!!! Our pup is demanding, mischievous, bites, chews on everything, wakes up few times a night and start to cry and whine. I havent had a full night sleep since we picked him up a week ago. We love our puppy so much!!!

[@tiaran83]

Congratulations on 20K!! I feel late to the game but worth to celebrate!

[@PoniesOnWheels]

I got my new cavalier 3 weeks ago and he’s a lot of work! I’m glad I got him now whilst I’m still physically active (I have a disability) as he’s very active and I need to watch him constantly for 12 hours to make sure we have no accidents 😅 He’s a menace haha

[@Emerald_Eyed_Cat]

Im 13 but im getting an Australian shepherd puppy in 2 years late in May so I can have the summer to bond and train her so I'm making a list for things to get her this video was so helpful thank you so much. 💖

[@AmandaJ219]

Love all the education videos. I hope to re watch them again someday when I get my dream Cav 🐶

[@kevinalthage9826]

Thanks to your videos and helpful info my cavalier puppy (Charlie) and I are doing just Great. Oh yea... hair everywhere! Looking forward to viewing more videos. Thank you!

[@Ophelia0909]

Thank you so much for this helpful video! I’m constantly searching everything about Cav’s and new puppies so I can take care of my little puppy when s/he came! I’m waiting till summer so I can give my full attention to the little one for 3 months at least before school :3 I’m so excited to get her/him! Till then I’m watching your videos to learn (and watch the cuteness of Herky and Milton)

[@aloquia2587]

Herky and Milton look like they behave so well! I'm new to your channel and I love the videos you make with your dogs. I'm 13 getting a 1 year old yorkie from a shelter and im super excited. this video helped so much, thank you!

[@pookeypuppy2530]

True information Mai! Every puppy is different and the first 4 to 6 months of training can seem like YEARS ...especially potty training! But oh the joy and love you get in return😆 so entertaining😄 Vet bills are real!!! Wish we could claim them as "dependants ":)

[@nigelmiller407]

We bought a small hand held portable spot carpet cleaner (Rugdoctor) for any accidents etc. The same manufacturer markets a pro-enzymatic pet formula carpet detergent. Also useful for cleaning other stains and general cleaning etc.

[@isabellewittwer4493]

My cav will be born in April! So excited 💕

[@yumiiiiiii5617]

I LOVE this channel it helped in my puppy journey so much we are getting a toy poodle in 4 weeks and your vids got us so far thank you!!!!

[@ry4876]

So excited I’m actually going to use this knowledge

[@emmamahony9802]

So I had a cavalier King Charles up until July 2018 He was the absolute best and no work at all really an absolute angel however at age 5 the breed develops a heart murmur which is why they are a kind of lazier dog breed but my dog didn’t develop this until his last week the vet couldn’t do anything as it was so sudden it starts with a cough and goes downhill just please be aware that cavaliers are amazing but watch out for coughs 💔

[@lizf8421]

Emmaaa 061204 my cav as a grade 3 heart murmur and is on a tablet called petmedin. Although obviously it won't stop the murmur from progressing, it slows it down. So sorry about your fur baby

[@emmamahony9802]

Liza F They are such a lovely breed I’m so sorry I hope your doggo is doing great!

[@Datjeweler]

Emmaaa 061204 how old was your Cav when he passed away?

[@shannonwebster4727]

I had the same happen to me. My baby Harley was 10 when he passed suddenly in the night. We think it was a heart attack. He was scheduled for an echocardiogram a week later. Don’t let your vet tell you to wait until they show symptoms. Get your cavvie in for an echocardiogram ASAP as soon as you know they have a heart murmur. It’s scary but manageable with medication.

[@Steve30x]

Not all cavalier King Charles develop a heart murmur at five years old. My dog didn't develop a heart murmur until she was nine and a half years old. Also my dog was diagnosed with last stages of heart failure at ten years old and tablets kept her alive for nine more months up until two weeks ago

[@debbiefeighner384]

My husband and I have a one year old Cavalier St. Charles Spaniel/ Lucy Lynn. Same color as yours. I try to walk her once a day but my health is not that good. One thing I wanted to share. I have had Epilepsy for 48 years , I’m 64 now. But when Lucy Lynn saw me have my first grand mal seizure,my husband, John said it was amazing the way Lucy Lynn got right beside me, stayed right beside me, until I fully woke up and was able to say her name. I had fallen apparently on my face and it was bleeding, so she kept licking it till I was clean. I truly believe she could easily believe she could be trained to be a seizure dog!! Many thanks for all your tips and tricks on your show. You may share this if you like. Gratefully ~~~~Debbie/ Fort Wayne, Indiana

[@sunilkumarm76]

Thank you so much for this video 😊! Herky and Milton are so cute !

[@BluSatin]

Sounds like Herky is Louis's twin troublemaker! On one hand, I hate seeing him grow so fast on the other hand, I can't wait to whizz through the exhausting puppy phase. Warm hugs and paw fives from us xxx

[@goodoldfashioneddeacury4707]

The thumbnail is the cutest thing ever

[@tiaran83]

hello!! I have been a subscriber of your channel for a long time now and I am in the process of moving and soon I will get my own caviler king Charles spaniel, I will name him Kobe!! this channel will be such a help and I'm excited even more to be a subscriber and gain an experience of a first-time caviler dog owner and owner period!

[@babyblue1109]

Thank you for yet another great video. They've have helped me SO MUCH when getting my first pup, a cavapoo that just recently turned 1. I was thinking about getting a second dog. The dynamic between Herky and Milton is just precious when one is not being a bully to their sister haha. As a single person though, I'm concerned about how much harder it will be. Could you make a video on the adjustment going from 1 dog to 2? Thank you so much and keep up the great work!

[@AT-bi6yh]

I love ur vids so much and jerky and Milton are the cutest

[@kayleerichards1062]

Enjoyed your video! Loved the dog comments!💕

[@kateobrien4477]

OMG thank you so much for replying 😱❤️ I love your videos and Herky and Milton 🤣

[@MachkasterOnTheRoof]

Thank you, guys, so much for this video. It means a lot to learn as much as possible about dogs, specifically cavaliers, as I'm planning to get one, hopefully this year, and I've never had a puppy. So, I really appreciate this video and info that you gave us. ☺️ 💖 💗 💛

[@alliepfeiffer]

Puppy Herky is sooooo adorable ❤❤❤🐶

[@herkythecavalier]

She was soooo cute and soooo fat!!!!

[@SlightlyMisunderstood]

Watching this with my little lady cavalier! She is great! Lots of potty accidents though

[@triciaclark7707]

OMG THEY ARE SO CUTE also this video has helped alot :3

[@herkythecavalier]

So glad it can help :)

[@kcrexxriley3400]

Thanks for all your knowledge and passing it on.

[@chloejohnstone9198]

I’m getting a border collie soon!

[@leeshw]

Your dogs are sooooo cute! I am getting a puppy this Saturday and he’s the same breed!!!

[@MalteseTV]

The puppy looks happy. I've subscribed.

[@jashabosmans3590]

My puppy will arrive in 3 weeks! His name is Billie ☺️ i am so exited!! 💕

[@amaliaistcool3846]

I’m gonna get a puppy cav on Friday AND IM SO EXCITED 😭

[@iamdisappointedinyou3097]

i am getting mine in August!

[@stephwittek]

LOL. The video I needed 4 months ago 😂This is great! Did not realize how difficult puppies would be and I think Oakley was actually an easier puppy. He can be rotten, but if he zooms it still makes me laugh every time. Also--they DO grow so fast. Glad I got the few videos I did of him because I didn't take as many pictures. I'm okay with him being bigger because he is definitely more obedient and better potty trained. :)

[@chargermaniac]

thank you for your great advice we really appreciate it

[@joeldaniel95]

I love herky

[@anabeatrizpereira7907]

My girl Rosie (also a cavalier) does not pee ou poop outside EVER, for some reason, and she waits until we're home to do it. I've tried taking her outside and meet other dogs so if they did something she would copy, but no. What do I do?

[@lucylivingstone]

So cute 💕💕💕💕

[@onipse0655]

I love your videos 😍

[@herkythecavalier]

We love you!

[@catiehinkle8616]

Not sure if you have a video already-I know that you mentioned (in the past) certain raw hide treats can cause major digestive problems. It would be great to see recommendations of chew treats that are safe. (Other than bully sticks)

[@herkythecavalier]

YES! Will do!

[@shima2413]

Yet another awesome video, and I’ve got a question for the OC cav meetup, will there be food for the dogs and humans?

[@herkythecavalier]

I think so! It's a farmer's market so I think there will be food trucks and stands

[@shima2413]

Herky The Cavalier sweet, thanks

[@slimefantasies1267]

What do you think is the best breed for apartments and kids and has a lot of energy

[@LadyL31786]

It kills me when Herky waves her paw to either be petted or want some food😂😂😂

[@aliceadler4569]

Herky & Milton are such sweet girls!!!

[@naturalgoddess6407]

I’m looking into getting a esa dog myself

[@MarkHansen1990]

We also have a cavalier king charles spaniel. She is the most amazing dog...very loving, affectionate, sweet. She is 14 now and we want a new cav puppy soon. Love your cav apparel, where do you get it?

[@zeroxzeroequalszero]

Thank u so much for these amazing videos :)

[@Dani_London]

You're awesome and I love your work!

[@DopeBoysofatlanta]

Love that shirt!

[@sukisjudge2587]

I haven't even got a puppy yet and my cart is full of alot of pet stuff so cute I'm addicted to pet shopping now

[@catherinemackenzie2514]

I'd love to learn how you came up with your pups names?????? I LOVE THEM!!!

[@cheryljuliette5017]

So adorable and valuable information for a new pet owner! 🎈💕🐕 So, what do you recommend or use for flea snd tivk prevent??? Thanks in advance. ❣

[@shalipontifex8151]

Hey I’m going to get a pet cavalier puppy this July- any tips on what age I should get it?

[@Lonnie041976]

Please do a video about toys and food.

[@soesterbergblue]

It good to have insurance because sooner or later with a Cavalier there's a really good chance it will need to be seen and treated by a Cardiologist and it's quite expensive.

[@kateobrien4477]

First !! :) great vid

[@herkythecavalier]

YAYYYY!

[@elenimilissis7124]

Thank you for the videos about king Charles cavalier because i am getting a cavalier. i don't know what i get a girl or boy

[@romonaghasemi2204]

how much is the approximate amount of vet visits?

[@feyzaturkekul7410]

Your so cute and the pups also❤️

[@juliet.f]

I’m getting a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel this weekend. Got any tips?

[@ellisonfam5600]

I tried finding those pajamas but the link says cannot be found. Will you be getting any more of them?

[@herkythecavalier]

Our store has moved to Cavology! www.cavology.com/collections/pyjamas

[@melanierose9015]

Do you recommend pet insurance and a veterinarian wellness plan?

[@sweetlyxoxo7189]

When do you usually feed them because I am getting a cavalier?

[@VanessaVillatoro]

Great tips Mai! With Burgundy it took lots of patience, she was so active and crazy but also very intelligent when it came to obedience and potty training which was good. How has the silver spray been working for Milton?

[@lilliansimcox5097]

Wonderful so beautiful we would love to have one how much would they cost. We live in Virginia.

[@Lonnie041976]

where did you get that T-shirt? I want one

[@ciararyan607]

I am getting a cavalier king charles soon does anyone have any tips

[@simplygiftedbyjeanniedelga5234]

Please add a video about what to get your puppy as far as toys, chews, treats, crates, bedding etc. By the way I love your channel and doggies!!!! Thank you!

[@herkythecavalier]

Good idea, thanks for the suggestion!

[@jordynnlewis12]

I might be getting a puppy

[@ziggyplayz7960]

Will you change the name ? ‘Herky the cavalier’ as you have Milton too !

[@alexandrainama4984]

I am getting a cavalier King Charles spaniel

[@Myakressin]

Just as a reminder that socialization does NOT MEAN A SOCIAL DOG ❤ socialization means NEUTRALITY around other dogs. This means walking past other dogs, being around other dogs, but not having an interaction with another dog until yours is neutral. Not saying that the dog can’t be around others in the home or it sees a lot, but not randos you see walking down the street. ❤ have a great day!

[@tamirafryson8831]

First👏🏾👏🏾

[@herkythecavalier]

YAS GIRL

[@Steve30x]

The one my St annoying thing about the Cavalier King Charles is their paw maintenance. You should keep the fur on their paws short. It's s weekly and difficult job but if me at cavalier King Charles are like my Bonny was then they won't mind you clipping their fur on their paws once there's a reward when you're done.

[@sophiacrawley7462]

Do your dogs shed a lot?

[@finklefinklelittlestar]

Yes, my granny has one and he sheds a fair amount of hair.

[@natalkaikoniec3982]

Omg You are suuuper cute❤️

[@herkythecavalier]

Thank you so much!

[@Dj_Absent]

How old are your pups
