The English Toy Spaniel is a bright and interested little dog, affectionate and willing to please.  This little dog comes in four colors.  The Blenheim (red and white) often carries a thumb mark or "Blenheim Spot" placed on the top and the center of the skull. The Prince Charles  is a tricolor. The King Charles (black and tan) is a rich, glossy black with bright mahogany tan markings. The Ruby is a self-colored, rich mahogany red. Most authorities agree that the English Toy has its origins in the East, namely Japan (traveling to Europe as part of royal presents).
