English toy spaniel is a breed of dog that was a favorite with English nobility in the 1600’s. It weighs from 9 to 12 pounds (4 to 5.4 kilograms) and has a round head, with a short, turned-up nose. The dog’s silky coat grows thickly, with longer fringes of hair on the chest, legs, tail, and feet. There are four varieties of English toy spaniels. The King Charles is black and tan. The Prince Charles is black, tan, and white. The Blenheim is red and white, and the Ruby is solid red.
