The Chocolate Cavalier King Charlie Spaniel origins. The biggest problem the breed has is locating the extremely rare Chocolate gene. To the best of my knowledge there are only two known originating Chocolate Cavalier Kings Charlie Spaniel bloodlines in the world!! The fact is there an almost extinct coat color. What is the Chocolate Cavalier King Charlie Spaniel? The Chocolate Cavalier King Charlie Spaniel is a Cavalier carrying the recessive b locus (brown) gene! However, again there are only two known originating Chocolate Cavalier King Charlie Spaniel bloodlines in the world!
Thankfully with modern science there is a B locus DNA test that can be done to determine if a particular Cavalier King Charlie Spaniel carries the recessive Bb or bb gene.
Prior to 1973, “All colors were recognized”. It was only in 1973 that the Breed Standard was changed to disallow for showing the whole color’s Blacks, Black & Whites, and the Chocolates. The Chocolate gene expresses itself as Chocolate Tan, Chocolate Tri, Chocolate Ruby, Chocolate Blenheim. In both Chocolate Ruby and Chocolate Blenheim you can only visually see the brown foot pads, eye rims and nose. The eye color is also diluted to green blue! The b variant affects only eumelanin pigmented areas (Black) and not phaeomelanin (Red) pigmented areas.
