I'm Maricela C., the breeder behind Avion's Cavaliers located in New Braunfels, TX. I am a small preservation show breeder. My focus is on the correct type, health, temperament, and conformation. Only a very limited number of puppies are raised and bred. I occasionally have puppies available to approved companion homes. I take the selection of my puppy buyers very seriously.
Thorough heart, eyes, health, DNA genetic testing as well as X-rays are conducted prior to breeding.
Q. & A. with Maricela
Why did you start breeding?
I have a great love for the breed, they are truly special. It began with a commitment I had with the breeder from whom I acquired my Sundae.
What makes your program special?
My puppies are born and raised in my home. I conduct health tests that include genetics, patellas, heart, eyes, and general health prior to breeding. I attend seminars on whelping, nutrition, and general professional training sessions. My focus is the correct type, health, temperament, and conformation. I begin a potty training before they leave to new homes.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
