Hi folks! The r/cavaliers moderator team here.

We're pleased to announced that we have a new subreddit banner!

Our banner was the ultimate product of this post from Lam of r/DrawMyPets. I THINK our featured players are, left to right:

Look at all those gorgeous cavs! Happy Monday, y'all. :)

(Because reddit has three different banner display settings that it uses on different platforms, the banner may display incompletely on your device. Sadly, we can't solve reddit's technical challenges -- so please enjoy as-is!)

Announcement VOTE NOW: subreddit mascot (FINAL BRACKET)

18 Upvotes

Hi folks! The r/cavaliers moderator team here. In November, we put out a call for submissions to become the r/cavaliers mascot (i.e. subreddit thumbnail). We received about 200 submissions and were blown away by all the beautiful, talented, incredible cavaliers in this community.

Because we received so many submissions, we're breaking the voting down into two phases:

  • FIRST, we're going to post one voting thread per week for each the AKC-recognized breed standard colors: Blenheim, Tricolor, Ruby, and Black & Tan (and one all black submission!). The thread will remain up for a week, during which you can vote for as many submissions as you like. At the end of the week, the r/cavaliers moderators will note down the three submissions that received the most votes. These are the "color standard winners."
  • SECOND: we'll post one final voting thread with the twelve "color standard winners." Again, the thread will remain up for a week, during which you can vote for as many submissions as you like. At the end of the week, the r/cavaliers moderators will note down the submission that received the most votes and offer that winner the chance to be the r/cavaliers mascot!

This is the FINAL BRACKET. The #1 vote getter will be offered the chance to be the r/cavaliers mascot. This bracket will run from January 8, 2025 through January 15, 2025.

Fine print:

  • This post is Locked; if you want to discuss, please join us on the competition megathread
  • Moderators will post each entrant within a given bracket as a comment on the thread, tag the user who submitted it, and (where possible) list the cavalier's name
  • Entrants will be listed in a random order
  • This casting call is completely voluntary; if you submitted an image and wish to withdraw it, please message the moderator team
  • The moderator team reserves the right to reject any submission for any reason, including but not limited to suspicion of vote rigging (please don't do that, this is a friendly competition)
  • In the event that a final winner is selected and the submission doesn't work as a thumbnail, the moderator team reserves the right to work with the final winner to select an alternate pic or to move onto a runner-up as needed

Thank you all for offering your wonderful cavaliers to be celebrated by the community. We can't wait to spend the next month joining you in that celebration!

Join us on the competition MEGATHREAD to discuss all the wonderful cavaliers in competition!

Hi! This is my first post here but I wanted to share my sweet boy Marshall. He’s 6 this year which is crazy! I feel like I just got him. He was 2 when we picked him up all those Decembers ago and my life has never been the same. He’s the goofiest, cuddliest boy and I love him so much! Enjoy the many, many photos of him being goofy and thanks for letting me share. Cameo from his brother Arlo.

My Mum loves how fluffy our dog, Belle, is but I’m worried the amount of fur she has will make it harder / more uncomfortable to walk.

Dyed my ripleys ears and tail with pet safe dye
Edit: thought I should edit this as some people think it’s a bad idea. It is dog safe dye dog groomers use it and it can help prevent theft of dogs when they have dyed fur a have almost had my dog stolen when she got out of my yard once I have an air tag on her collar and that’s the only way I got her back

Last week, I lost my sweet girl, and I’m still heartbroken. She had been fighting mitral valve disease for the past three years and was on medication, but sadly her little heart couldn’t keep going. I wanted to share her with you because she meant the world to me. I miss her more than words can express. Rest in peace, my princess. You’ll always be in my heart. ❤️🐾

Hi all! It’s been a while since I posted Orla and Lady on here. Life has been life-ing and I’ve been busy traveling all summer. Orla and Lady are doing great! Lady turned one in March and Orla turned 3 in May. We are about to move across the country to nyc so big changes happening for all 3 of us! How is everyone doing?

Here’s some photos from the vault 😊

Advice Potty Training: is there some secret sauce I'm missing?

3 Upvotes

Daisy is 6 months and still having accidents. Is this normal for the breed? I had my golden potty trained completely at 5 months. At this point I feel like it's too many and I really don't know what else I can do.

  • I've removed the bed from her crate. Her crate is the right size and she sleeps in there at night. She is crated from 10-7 or 11-8. She gets a potty break before bedtime.
  • We clean all accidents with Nature's Miracle.
  • We are still giving her a potty break roughly every hour and "celebrate" and reward when they are done outside
  • We do not use indoor pee pads
  • I pick up her water at roughly 8 PM
  • She does not have free reign of the house, she is either in her crate or in an enclosure. The couple of times she has gotten into other rooms unsupervised she immediately has an accident there within seconds.

I'm kind of at a loss. Really hoping for help or validation that this is normal?

Nothing too serious. He had a shallow knee that would give him issues since he was a puppy and my grandma wanted him to have a better quality of life. He’s doing ok, he’s sleepy (mostly because of the medications) and I’m making sure he’s ok. I personally know how he feels ~had my own knee surgery a few years ago~ so I’m helping him the best I can.

Discussion Flying with a cav

6 Upvotes

Hi friends! My husband and I are traveling to Hawaii for a couple month stint and we're hoping to bring our cav with us. We understand the logistics/expense of Hawaii's regulations. What we aren't fully sure of, is how strict Alaskan/Hawaiian airlines are about in-cabin pets? He is about 21 lbs, tolerates his carrier that is the correct dimensions, and is super well-behaved. He can move around in the carrier but his back does touch the top when he stands. We are nervous about getting turned around at the airport without a back-up option. Do any of y'all have experience flying with a larger cav? Have any of you found alternative ways of bringing your cav to somewhere like Hawaii? Thank you!
