Shetland sheepdogs were first exhibited as Shetland collies in England, but when collie fanciers objected, the name was changed to Shetland sheepdog. The breed's popularity followed that of the collie, with many families opting for what they thought of as a miniature collie. The Shetland sheepdog remains a steady favorite as a family dog throughout the world.

The Cavalier's ancestors were spaniels that were developed at least by the 1300s to flush birds into nets or to waiting falcons.
Some smaller spaniels were probably bred with Oriental toy dogs such as the Japanese chin to create a lapdog version of the spaniel.
These dogs were known as comforter spaniels and were used to serve as lap and foot warmers, surrogate hot water bottles, and for companionship.
In the 1700s, King Charles II became an ardent fan of the little dogs, to the point that he was accused of ignoring matters of state in favor of his dogs. The dogs were dubbed King Charles spaniels in recognition of his association.
