Meet the breeder

I'm Diane S., the breeder behind Cavakennels.pnw located in Ferndale, WA. We are a PNW small family breeder of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Cavapoos. How did it all start? We were looking for a dog for our kids to have and fell in love with the Cavapoo breed. They are smart, not big, and hypo-allergenic. After no success of finding one locally we decided to do a lot of researching and got ourselves beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and a Minnie Poodle to produce Cavapoos. Now we have the whole family involved, including the kiddos. Our dogs have become part of our lives-literally from when we (or the dogs) wake up to when we go to bed. It's a labor of love.

Q. & A. with Diane

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We got into breeding because we got scammed while trying to find a companion dog for our son. We couldn't find a cavapoo and upon researching we found our mom and dad. We had to travel to two different states in order to find the right parents.
  • What makes your program special?

    We are unique in the fact that we are only limited to one parent and one mom dog. Our puppies and parents stay on site 24/7. Puppies get plenty of socialization and early training.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Diane was so helpful during the adoption, you can tell they really care about their puppies and their forever homes. At day of drop off, Diane took such care to talk with us about next steps and provided us with a bunch of treats and helpful information. Our puppy is an absolute joy and I appreciate the care Diane and her family put into her transition to us!

    We were so pleased with our whole experience using gooddog and connecting with Diane. All of the updates and support we received along the way to picking up our new puppy Chili and the post-adoption check ins have been so appreciated. The adoption pack provided is impressive and really made us feel set up for success as new puppy parents! We can tell Chili has come from an amazing first home with lots of care and love provided to him in the first few weeks of his life. He’s such a good boy already!

    Diane was an absolute pleasure to deal with when purchasing our new Cavapoo puppy, Charlie. She was very helpful in answering all my questions about the breed and little Charlie. We are extremely happy to have little Charlie in our family. He’s highly intelligent, is very curious about everything he sees and hears, and gives lots of kisses. 🥰 I highly recommend purchasing this beautiful breed through Cavakennels.pnw

    Diane was fantastic from the start! She communicated quickly and answered all our questions. As soon as we booked Finn, she sent photos and updates on all his achievements and mischief. Even after we took him home, she kept in touch and is always available to offer support.

    I truly appreciate that the process of finding our perfect puppy was so enjoyable with Diane! She was patient, answered my questions when I had them, and helped match us with the puppy that best fit us best. She also made pick up day a breeze. Our Cavapoo is extremely well tempered, smart, obedient, snuggly, and hasn’t yet met a stranger. It’s clear he was well breed and we adore him! Thanks for the wonderful experience, Diane!
