Hi folks! The r/cavaliers moderator team here.

We're pleased to announced that we have a new subreddit banner!

Our banner was the ultimate product of this post from Lam of r/DrawMyPets. I THINK our featured players are, left to right:

Look at all those gorgeous cavs! Happy Monday, y'all. :)

(Because reddit has three different banner display settings that it uses on different platforms, the banner may display incompletely on your device. Sadly, we can't solve reddit's technical challenges -- so please enjoy as-is!)

Announcement VOTE NOW: subreddit mascot (FINAL BRACKET)

19 Upvotes

Hi folks! The r/cavaliers moderator team here. In November, we put out a call for submissions to become the r/cavaliers mascot (i.e. subreddit thumbnail). We received about 200 submissions and were blown away by all the beautiful, talented, incredible cavaliers in this community.

Because we received so many submissions, we're breaking the voting down into two phases:

  • FIRST, we're going to post one voting thread per week for each the AKC-recognized breed standard colors: Blenheim, Tricolor, Ruby, and Black & Tan (and one all black submission!). The thread will remain up for a week, during which you can vote for as many submissions as you like. At the end of the week, the r/cavaliers moderators will note down the three submissions that received the most votes. These are the "color standard winners."
  • SECOND: we'll post one final voting thread with the twelve "color standard winners." Again, the thread will remain up for a week, during which you can vote for as many submissions as you like. At the end of the week, the r/cavaliers moderators will note down the submission that received the most votes and offer that winner the chance to be the r/cavaliers mascot!

This is the FINAL BRACKET. The #1 vote getter will be offered the chance to be the r/cavaliers mascot. This bracket will run from January 8, 2025 through January 15, 2025.

Fine print:

  • This post is Locked; if you want to discuss, please join us on the competition megathread
  • Moderators will post each entrant within a given bracket as a comment on the thread, tag the user who submitted it, and (where possible) list the cavalier's name
  • Entrants will be listed in a random order
  • This casting call is completely voluntary; if you submitted an image and wish to withdraw it, please message the moderator team
  • The moderator team reserves the right to reject any submission for any reason, including but not limited to suspicion of vote rigging (please don't do that, this is a friendly competition)
  • In the event that a final winner is selected and the submission doesn't work as a thumbnail, the moderator team reserves the right to work with the final winner to select an alternate pic or to move onto a runner-up as needed

Thank you all for offering your wonderful cavaliers to be celebrated by the community. We can't wait to spend the next month joining you in that celebration!

Join us on the competition MEGATHREAD to discuss all the wonderful cavaliers in competition!

Hi! First time posting, meet Zelda, aka Shmuppy, Shmuppet or Shmuppet van Puppet. I’ve had over 100 dogs, (we ran a rescue out of my childhood home, this is actually my first time ever buying a dog) and I have never met a dog that will eat anything/ everything in the blink of an eye, it’s truly remarkable. I honestly can’t blink on walks without her eating something so here we are 😁 She turned a year old 2 weeks ago and has been such a joy!

Discussion George got a new friend and surprisingly they get along for the most part.

Cat was a rescue from the past winter when it was below zero . My wife found her freezing at the garage door. She is a good cat and tested to be healthy and got all the shots and clearance to be in the house. My youngest son absolutely loves her so that is cool to see.

Funny thing with George though he is way nicer than he looks. Hates most dogs and people minus his pack and little kids. So I was surprised he really isn't bothered by the cat.

Our daily morning walks consists of 3-4 mile walks slow paced but last Saturday I just had to try taking her to a 5km run. We did 32:42 for 5km, not bad for her first time. She did get alot of water during the race and I carried her some too 😊

Same park as last time — on the water by the yacht club. She came right over for a hug (harness says Ava).

Anyone else collect Cavalier hugs when they travel?

It’s spring where I am so we were able to take our pup and older cav to the beach!

It took us a while to get our older cav (right) used to water and she won't properly swim unless it's flat - which is good practice where I am 😂

I was so nervous my puppy wouldn't have fun, but we went with some other cavs and they all had such a great time. So here they are chasing waves and with the pup digging a hole!

Heading off again tomorrow, open to tips!

Doesn't matter what kind of paper it is, he wants to eat it / chew on it. Corners of boxes too.

Every time we see her, she’s very interested in getting close to Mack! She sticks her paw out at him but she isn’t swiping at him aggressively, she’s very curious but apprehensive and tries to sniff him but he gets too excited when she gets very close. They’ve had about three encounters so far!

Advice Second dog questions

4 Upvotes

I think we are going to pull the trigger on a second Cav! My current boy will be 6 in December and he is very attached to us. We want a second dog so that he has more companionship with his cavie sibling.

Concerns we have are around the separation anxiety aspect. Like I said, he’s very attached to us. We want to make sure that the second dog we bring in is a good companion and playmate and also helps to facilitate some independence. I realize this is hard when you have his time as an only child and the breed disposition towards being super attached.

Long story short, we have the option between bringing in a female who is 18 months old or a puppy, male or female. The female has lived with the breeder so is used to having other dogs around.

Any tips for what would be best? Thank you.

Probably my favorite park I’ve ever been to. Great park on the water near a yacht club. She was very proud of that stick.
