CEO has hiked over 20,000 km - roughly half the circumference of the planet
People often wonder how much physical activity Cavaliers can take. With an aristocratic lap dog reputation one might wonder. But they are not fragile little toys to be trotted out like fashion accessories. Cavaliers are athletic sporting dogs with a surprising amount of stamina. They offer the best of both worlds, large-dog capability, small dog convenience.
Even owners of high drive working dogs, like Border Collies, may find Cavaliers suitable companions. Cavaliers offer all the energy and drive of a Border Collie, without the intense edge.
To prove the point, take a look at CEO. He will happily walk, hike or jog long distances. Swim too. In his first 4 1/2 years CEO managed to hike over 20,000 km--half the circumference of Earth at the equator. At his current pace he will complete the entire distance around the globe by age 8. He remains in tip top health. His hips, elbows and joints show no sign of stress or wear despite walking an average of 15 km per day.
To sum up, a well bred Cavalier will suit all who crave sporting activity beautifully. The same goes for those of us who enjoy sedentary pastimes. No matter how active (or inactive) you are, your Cavalier will be happy to accompany you.
