English Toy Spaniels are small dogs. They typically weigh between 8 to 14 pounds (4 to 6 kg) and stand about 9 to 10 inches (23 to 25 cm) tall at the shoulder.

English Toy Spaniels are known for their affectionate, gentle, and sociable nature. They are typically very loyal to their families and enjoy interacting with people, making them excellent companions. They can be somewhat reserved with strangers but generally adapt well to different environments. Their calm demeanor makes them great pets for families, including those with children.

The breed has a long, silky coat that is straight and can come in various colors, including King Charles (black and tan), Blenheim (chestnut and white), tricolor (black, white, and tan), and ruby (solid red). Regular grooming is necessary to keep the coat healthy and free of mats.

These dogs are well-suited for apartment living due to their small size and moderate exercise needs. They enjoy being indoor companions and thrive on human interaction. While they do need regular walks and playtime, they are generally not as demanding as some other breeds. They can adapt to various living situations, provided they receive attention and love.

English Toy Spaniels enjoy short walks, play sessions, and interactive games. They are not particularly high-energy but benefit from regular exercise to maintain their health. Training sessions can include obedience training and trick training, which stimulate their minds and provide bonding time with their owners. Given their affectionate nature, they also enjoy cuddling and hanging out with their families.
