[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, consider getting an adult dog from a rescue. Not only will the dog be past the high-maintenance puppy stage, but it will also allow you to weed out dogs with health issues or temperament problems. It's no fun to raise a puppy just to find out it has a devastating health or behavior problem.

Agree with this advice.  We rescued a King Charles Spaniel when she was four years old, and she has been the most amazing dog.  You could tell right off the bat that she was very low energy and just wanted to cuddle on your lap all day.  We have had to spend a lot of money on her (she needed all her teeth removed, poor thing), but it was night and day to our other spaniel we got as a puppy.  We had no idea what we were getting into and that dog is NUTS (even though the breed is generally very docile and calm).  [/quote]
What rescue did you use for the King Charles spaniel?

We really lucked out and got a Cav from a tiny local rescue organization in West Virginia.  I found them through online searching.  I have friends who have adopted through Cavalier Rescue USA, but apparently their process is really competitive.  When I emailed the rescue org we used to inquire about our dog, they wanted to know a little about us, but once we said we already had a Cav they just said "sure, when can you come get her?" and that was that.  Our dog was a puppy mill breeder in her past life, and she really is the best, best dog.  Good luck if you are looking for one! [/quote]
