The King Charles Spaniel (also known as the English Toy Spaniel) is a breed of small dog of the Spaniel type. Prior to the 20th century, there were four varieties which made up the Toy Spaniel type; these were the Blenheim Spaniel, the Prince Charles Spaniel, the Ruby Spaniel and the aforementioned King Charles Spaniel. In 1903 The Kennel Club (UK) amalgamated these four breeds under the single title of the King Charles Spaniel.

The King Charles has large dark eyes, a short nose, a high domed head and a black margin around its lips. It stands on average 9–11 inches (23–28 cm) at the withers, with a small but compact body. The breed has a traditionally docked tail. The breed has the long pendulous ears typical of a spaniel and its coat comes in four varieties which it shares with its offshoot, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

The King Charles is a friendly breed, to the extent that typically it is not as adept at being a watchdog as some breeds, but may still bark to warn its owners of an approaching visitor. It is not a high energy breed, and enjoys the company of family members, being primarily a lapdog. They prefer not to be left alone for long periods of time and will not accept rough handling. Known as one of the quietest of the toy breeds, it is suitable for apartment living.
