I'm Willow D., the breeder behind Caveliers by Grace located in Venice, FL. Our pups are home-raised. We put a lot of care into socializing them so they can transition easily into their new lives. We started breeding with the simple mission to breed the very best dogs that we can, to raise them with love, and to find them the perfect future homes. They are AKC registered and come from championship bloodlines.
Q. & A. with Willow
Why did you start breeding?
My grandson needed an emotional support dog 9 years ago. After a lifetime of larger dogs, I decided a Cavalier was the best option. They are cuddle bugs.
What makes your program special?
They are loved and part of the pack. Grandparents, aunts and uncles are in my pack. They are treated as part of the family.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Willow was wonderful. When I came to pick up my little girl Maddie she gave me all the information I needed to care for my new puppy. And was open and willing to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had. She truly loves her pups. I couldn’t be happier with my new puppy Maddie!

Willow was nice enough to have her daughter deliver the pup to me personally without spending a penny on my end until the dog was in my presence!! I've been scammed in the past, so I was very skeptical about paying anything upfront. There are a lot of scammers on Facebook. She came right on time. They brought 2 puppies, so I could choose which one suited best. It was hard to choose because both were adorable, and looked alike. I went with the one who seemed more affectionate. When I paid online, my bank didn't trust the transaction, so I had to call the bank. That's not anyone's fault, just the bank being cautious, which is a good thing. I HIGHLY recommend Willow and Good Dog!!!
