Every Cavalier King Charles Spaniel wears one of four coat colors, and once you learn to spot them, you'll notice something else: no two are ever quite the same.
Blenheim is the color most people picture first — rich chestnut markings on a pearly white coat, often with a small chestnut spot high on the forehead that folklore calls the "Blenheim spot." It's named for Blenheim Palace, the ancestral home of the Duke of Marlborough, where the color was reportedly first established.
Tri-Color Cavaliers carry black and white with warm tan accents over the eyes, cheeks, and legs. It's a striking, high-contrast look, and it's the color combination most often mistaken for a different breed entirely.
Ruby is a solid, deep red from nose to tail — no white at all. It's the rarest of the four colors to see out on a walk, which is part of why Ruby owners tend to talk about their dogs' coats a little more than everyone else.
Black and Tan is solid black with tan markings over the eyes, cheeks, chest, legs, and underside of the tail. It's a dramatic, elegant coat that photographs beautifully in nearly any light.
All four colors belong to the same sweet, people-loving breed underneath. That's why every CavFolk coat comes in the same shape, made for the person who loves that dog, whatever they're wearing.
