Many people who only listen to the name "King Charlie Beagle" are expected to feel very strange, but if you have watched the classic Disney animation "Miss and the Tramp", you will find that the gentle and moving lady looks very similar to the King Charlie Beagle. Although there is still controversy about the prototype variety in the play. But it is undeniable that in 1500 from the European continent was brought to Scotland, the King Charles Beagle became a fashion dog of the aristocratic class because of its friendly and quiet qualities, known as the "hand warmer" in the hands of the nobility.
Caution in feeding cavalier King Charlie beagles: they mature faster than medium to large dogs, so they need to be fed more frequently. Because their appetites are small, they are quickly filled with food, especially in their infancy. But to prevent elevated blood sugar and other potential health problems, they need to be fed 4 times a day at 8 weeks of age, 3 times a day at 12 and 16 weeks, and then twice a day at 6 months. It is best to not exceed 80g a day for about a month, and then it can be slowly increased but at most it is recommended not to exceed 120g, and when your dog reaches 4 months, you must start to quit milk cake and change to puppy dog food. At the same time, small dogs and puppies will start to change their teeth at about 3 months, and continue until 6 months to replace their deciduous teeth with permanent teeth (even if the puppies accidentally swallow their teeth, it does not matter).

Compared with medium and large dogs, small dogs have few options for grinding teeth, so take advantage of the early cultivation of brushing in infancy, and the earlier you start brushing, the better.

At present, the only way is to remove part of the brain bone to reduce the compression of the cranial nerves, but the risk of surgery is extremely high, and 70% of dogs will not survive for more than 1 month.
