Congrats on getting a puppy.

We have 2 Cavalier King Charles who come caravanning with us and we are new to caravanning having just completed our first season.  Cavs are brilliant dogs but be prepared to stop and chat every few feet when taking yours for a walk as lots of people love cavs from kids upwards.

I've read everyone's comments and I would agree with everyone else's suggestions.  The only thing I would add to this is if possible get your pup microchipped asap.

We use cheap wet wipes to clean their paws after a walk, especially after their night time walk.  We also have waterproof dog coats for our dogs as they both firmly planted their bottoms down on the floor and refused to leave the caravan if it was raining.  Strangely now they have their coats as soon as we get them out when it's raining their tails start wagging again and they are in a rush to go out exploring.  We also cover the sofa's as they invariably sneak up onto the sofa's and onto our bed at night.  We also use the delta and dog tether, the delta holds both dogs tethers easily.

Have a great time.

Hi David...two points...it's the wife's job to make the tea first thing...stop breaking the law...second..yes she is mine. The picture was when she about 8 months old and now she is 6. Lovely temperament Schnausers.

Tigermouse: I'll certainly look into the delta securing pegs. Are they made by the same company as Delta pegs - I assume so, but haven't looked.

One of the most useful things we taught our puppy when we first got her was to drink out of a normal bottle of water.One of those with a drinking cap on. Now when we go anywhere we just take a small bottle of water and she is happy.

Ahh, King Charles they're lovely. I have a Jack Russell.

I'm sure you'll have lots of highs and lows with him, it's like having a baby, but it's worth it.

Hi David,

 I mentioned carrying water when out on long hikes. These are very useful. Lightweight and have a built in bowl for the dog to drink from.

Thanks for oall the posts.  I'll have a read of the new posts a bit later on. 

Well we went to pick up the new dog today.  We're calling her 'Lizzie', and this is a photo taken at the kennels before we picked her up. 

We have one of these bars:

it means we can park in multistoreys/places out of direct sunlight and have the dogs secure in crates with this on the boot. they get fresh airflow and we get a locked car.
