They certainly were but unlike WC they kept to the same side in politics ;) The lozengeless dogs were the gentlemen's dogs & the ones with lozenges were the ladies dogs They were known I think as Blenheim spaniels & the ones belonging to the royalty were known as English Toy Spaniels which eventually all became the King Charles Spaniels(which had longer muzzles than todays KC)& which were bred by the victorian's to have the shorter muzzles like the pugs
Both Cavaliers & Charlies have the blenheim colour
They were used to retrieve woodcock & be a gentry lapdog. LOL mine would hunt but they would not be posh lapdogs, they like gardening too much ;)
