Q. & A. with Autumn Hearts
Why did you start breeding?
A friend of mine was retiring from breeding and needed a home for her male. That was our very first Cavalier. I adore this breed and love having the opportunity to raise puppies and meet other families who love the breed as much as we do.
What makes your program special?
I love Cavaliers since they are so gentle and sweet. We are hobby breeders, so we are focused on the betterment of the breed since we have only a few litters per year.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blenheim, ruby, black and tan, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
