Before You Buy a Puppy...
How do you know if you are working with a good breeder?
When you purchase a puppy from an established, ethical breeder, you are investing in the future of a breed you love, just as we are. Good breeders are heavily vested in the puppies we produce because we keep many of them for future show dogs & continued improvement in the breed, the focus is not to breed to sell puppies. We are the guardians of our breed, raising the bar every generation, competing not just with our fellow breeders & exhibitors in the ring, but with our own personal best for health & longevity. We are educated in pedigree’s and members of one or more national breed clubs and regional affiliates.
The only two legitimate registries in the United States for the Cavalier, are the American Kennel Club (AKC) of which the parent breed club of membership is the American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club (ACKCSC) and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club-USA (CKCSC-USA). Membership in either of these breed clubs, requires breeders to sign a code of ethics
in breeding practices & conduct. Those of us devoted to our breed, voluntarily donate time & money to participate in, or to put on, Championship shows, club activities, public educational events and assist in breed rescue. We donate money to Health Foundations & Charitable Trust organizations to fund genetic research with the objective of eradicating breed associated health problems.
Good breeders will have an established affix as our stamp of identity, which every puppy bred will carry at the front of their name, such as “Covington”. All puppies born, will be registered, regardless as to pet or show quality. Pedigree’s will be legitimate, carry generations of dogs with proof of DNA on file, and carry affixes and championship titles. Puppies will be predictable in breed characteristics & temperament and we will take our time determining which puppies we keep & the placement of the right puppy for the right home. Puppies won’t leave for new homes until approx 12 weeks. Puppies will have a guarantee, a spay/neuter contract & will always be welcomed back if in need of re-homing during it’s lifetime.
Our websites will be informational, educational, showcase our Champions, Title holders & demonstrate our commitment to the breed. We will guide you on how you
can purchase a puppy from the right type of breeder, if we have puppies available & our process for placing them.
You will not only be welcome in our homes, but likely required to visit to meet us & our dogs. You will find us listed on the National & Regional Cavalier club website breeder or puppy referral lists. You will find us at shows, public breededucation events and through referrals from people that have worked with us. And Yes, you will pay more for the well bred, well raised puppy.
You will not find our puppies in pet shops, we won’t be advertising in any classifieds or on mass marketing websites. We won’t be associated with any marketing schemes claiming to be selling puppies for select groups or elitist breeders. Our websties are not used to sell our puppies, featuring photo after photo of puppies currently for sale. These are the places you will find the back yard breeders, puppy mills & brokers.
We are proudly a committed & vested breeder of the Cavalier. We are member
s in good standing with both National Cavalier clubs, many of their regional affiliates and the English Club. Our puppies are raised as part of our family. We don’t force weaning of Mothers & babies. Our puppies use a doggy door by 8 weeks which makes house breaking in your home easy. Puppies will be current on vaccinations and worming, have a written wellness exam & micro chipped. Copies of health clearances, registrations & pedigrees on both parents are provided and all registrations and transfers for the puppy, both in the AKC and CKCSC-USA are completed & paid for by us. We just want you to enjoy & focus on getting your new puppy settled in into it’s new life, we will take care of the rest.
