No, they are separate breeds. The King Charles is the smaller, shorter-nosed, domed-headed type, while the Cavalier has a longer muzzle and a flatter skull.
Yes, their patient, affectionate nature suits families, though small children should be taught to handle such a small dog gently.
They shed moderately and need brushing a few times a week to prevent tangles in the feathering. Regular ear and eye checks are also part of routine care.
