Which breed has been used as a royal guard dog, Kuvasz or Cavalier King Charles Spaniel?
Kuvasz
Kuvasz
The Kuvasz (] ), is an ancient breed of a livestock dog of Hungarian origin.
 Mention of the breed can be found in old Hungarian texts.
 It has historically been used as a royal guard dog, or to guard livestock, but has been increasingly found in homes as a pet over the last seventy years.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small spaniel classed as a toy dog by The Kennel Club and the American Kennel Club.
 It originated in the United Kingdom and is one of the more popular breeds in many countries.
 Since 2000, it has grown in popularity in the United States and ranks as the 18th most popular pure-breed in the United States (2013 Registration Statistics).
 It has a silky, smooth coat and commonly a smooth undocked tail.
 The breed standard recognizes four colours: Blenheim (chestnut and white), Tricolor (black/white/tan), Black and Tan, and Ruby.
 The breed is generally friendly, affectionate and good with both children and other animals; however, they require a lot of human interaction.
 Since they are a family dog, it is recommended to not leave them alone for long periods at a time.
 The expected average lifespan of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is under ten years.
Toy Trawler Spaniel
The Toy Trawler Spaniel is an extinct breed of Spaniel which physically was similar to the King Charles Spaniel of the 16th century.
 It is considered to have descended from the original King Charles Spaniel, and the older variety of Sussex Spaniel.
 It was originally used as a sporting dog, but became used as a toy and show dog.
 It was considered to be on the verge of extinction by 1920.
 A preserved specimen is kept in Tring at the Natural History Museum. Rex (dog)
Rex (December 16, 1984 – August 31, 1998) was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel owned by Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy during his term as President of the United States. King Charles Spaniel
The King Charles Spaniel (also known as the English Toy Spaniel) is a small dog breed of the spaniel type.
 In 1903, the Kennel Club combined four separate toy spaniel breeds under this single title.
 The other varieties merged into this breed were the Blenheim, Ruby and Prince Charles Spaniels, each of which contributed one of the four colours available in the breed. Welsh Springer Spaniel
The Welsh Springer Spaniel is a breed of dog and a member of the spaniel family.
 Thought to be comparable to the old Land Spaniel, they are similar to the English Springer Spaniel and historically have been referred to as both the Welsh Spaniel and the Welsh Cocker Spaniel.
 They were relatively unknown until a succession of victories in dog trials by the breed increased its popularity.
 Following recognition by The Kennel Club in 1902, the breed gained the modern name of Welsh Springer Spaniel.
 The breed's coat only comes in a single colour combination of white with red markings, usually in a piebald pattern.
 Loyal and affectionate, they can become very attached to family members and are wary of strangers.
 Health conditions are limited to those common among many breeds of dog, although they are affected more than average by hip dysplasia and some eye conditions.
 They are a working dog, bred for hunting, and while not as rare as some varieties of spaniel, they are rarer than the more widely known English Springer Spaniel with which they are sometimes confused. Cavapoo
The Cavapoo (also known as a Cavoodle) is a crossbreed dog, the offspring of a Poodle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
 The Cavapoo became especially popular through crossbreeding programs in Australia in the late 1990s.
 The Cavapoo has since become one of Australia's most popular breeds.
 Cavapoos were bred by ACA Breeders kennels to be healthy, outgoing, small dogs with a low to non-shedding coats, who would get along well with children.
 They are a very popular crossbreed dog in Australia due to their exceptional temperaments, robustness and low-shed.
 The breed is also increasingly popular in the United Kingdom. Canine Chiari-like malformation
Chiari-like malformation (CM) is the most common cause of foramen magnum obstruction and syringomyelia in dogs.
 Syringomyelia (SM) is a disease of the spinal cord typified by fluid filled cavities, or syrinxes, within the spinal cord substance.
 The disease is caused by the obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), in the nervous system.
 A situation of high pressure in the spinal cord compared to low pressure outside, leads to fluid accumulation, which eventually forms cavities.
 CM is a condition characterized by the mismatch of size between the brain and the skull.
 The skull is too small causing part of the brain to descend out of the skull through the opening at its base, crowding the spinal cord.
 The cause of CM is not yet fully understood.
 CM is rare in most breeds but reportedly has become very widespread in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Griffon Bruxellois (Brussels Griffon).
 Some researchers estimate that as many as 95% of CKCSs may have CM.
 It is worldwide in scope and not limited to any country, breeding line, or kennel, and experts report that it is believed to be inherited in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
 CM is so widespread in the Cavalier that it may be an inherent part of the CKCS's breed standard.
 This disease not only affects thousands of dogs, but a similar condition affects over three hundred thousand children yearly.
 Therefore, canines are an appropriate model for the treatment of the human condition. Dash (spaniel)
Dash (1830–1840) was a Cavalier King Charles spaniel owned by Queen Victoria.
 Victoria's biographer Elizabeth Longford, called him "the Queen's closest childhood companion", and in the words of the "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography", he "was the first in a long line of beloved little dogs". Beaglier
The Beaglier is a designer breed, the offspring of a Beagle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
 The Beaglier became particularly popular through crossbreeding programs in Australia during the 1990s.
 The dog was developed because of affection for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Beagle breeds; the breeders were looking for a healthy, energetic small dog with a less active scent drive than that of the Beagle.
 They are very popular in Australia due to their temperaments.
 The Beaglier typically has the shorter and more rounded muzzle of the Cavalier.
 Beagliers have variable coat colours and markings.
