We fell in love with the wonderful breed of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels about 11 years ago and they have been our loyal constant companions ever since. They are kind, gentle and very loving. We have now added a Papillon to our happy band, and are based in West Sussex. We thought long and hard about whether to breed or not, but happily decided to go ahead after much advice from other experienced breeders. Our decision  has provided us with years of fun, excitement and joy watching the pups being born and developing into wonderful little characters, twinged  with sadness when it is time to say goodbye as the pups go off to start their lives with their new families. Much is said about health problems with Cavaliers and vets seem intent on causing owners to panic unnecessarily. Many, not all, do suffer from mitral valve disease at some time in their life, but most do seem to cope well and live a happy life to 13+ years. The latest health scare is Syringomyelia little is still known about the numbers affected, but it would appear to be low. Most Cavaliers are healthy and give you years of love, fun and companionship ♥

We have been breeding beautiful Cavaliers since 2004, it's fun, hard work and always an emotional roller coaster, waiting for puppies to be born, staying up all night with thoughts of what could be going wrong, then they arrive, tiny helpless bundles. Over the days and weeks that follow the puppies take over, their needs most important, firstly making sure 'mum' is happy, comfortable and is caring for the pups, then the weaning  begins, toilet training, teaching them their names, to 'come' when called and to cope with as many new experiences I can give them, car journeys, meeting lots of people, going into the garden and being cuddled and played with making them feel secure. All too soon it is time for them to leave always a sad time for me, the thoughts of are they going to settle, have I made the right decision about their families, soon I hear that yes they have settled in and are very much loved. Each litter is so special to me, and are always in my thoughts ♥

The puppies are bred from parents who are tested clear with certificates by specialists in their field for heart and eye problems associated with the breed, raised with great care, love and attention in our home. They get used to all the usual household noises, with cats and teenagers, so when the precious little ones leave us they are confident, cheeky, friendly characters ready to fit in with their new families. They are health checked by my vet, kennel club registered, wormed and have 4 weeks free insurance. They leave with a puppy pack, enough food for a few weeks, a blanket, toy and an information pack, as well as our hopes for them to have a long, happy life as very important members of your family ♥

Flick, Midnight, Star, Skye, Crystal, Eddie, Lily, Poppy, Ace, Chelsey and Lotus are all kennel club registered pedigree dogs and very much loved members of the family. They spend all their time helping with everything that is going on. All the puppies have been lovely little characters, all different, but all equally adorable. We love to hear all about what they are up to throughout their lives. It's wonderful to see how they develop into adults ♥

Cavaliers are people dogs; they love to be with you all the time and are gentle and fun loving, they are happy to go anywhere you are going, they don't like being left alone for too long so you need to make sure that you can give them the life that they deserve for the whole of their life.  You need to think carefully before committing yourself to about 12 years of fun with your new friend ♥

They fit into whatever lifestyle you have, whether you intend long hikes in the countryside every day, or just a 20 minute off lead run ♥

They are equally happy in a family with children, with whom they form deep bonds, or in an adult only environment ♥

They do like their home comforts, but are ready to run through muddy puddles, chase birds and be very cheeky, not quite the pedigree lapdog that some consider them to be, but very much the ideal pet for many families who are adopted by their puppies. ♥

Cavaliers are intelligent and can be easily trained, although they do have a stubborn streak, and will try to train you, rather than you train them, given the opportunity. I find that they respond best to clicker training, which is fun for everyone. ♥

With Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, it makes no difference whether you choose a girl or boy, both are as sweet as each other and make excellent pets. ♥

They do need regular grooming to keep them in good condition, this is not too difficult, and a good time to check out nails, teeth and skin condition. ♥

They are generally a healthy breed, as long as they are bred from healthy ancestors, only needing yearly checkups with a vet to make sure they are free of heart disease and in good general health. ♥

You must make sure that every member of your family wants to have a puppy; it's not fair on the puppy if you don't have the time, patience, money for food, toys vets bills etc, to ensure your puppy gets the start in life he deserves. If after a lot of serious thought you still want to go ahead, I can say that your puppy will give you years of loving, caring, very rewarding companionship. Everyone who has been adopted by their Cavalier friend will also say that this is the case. ♥
