I'm Clair F., the breeder behind Clair’s Cavachon’s of Mid Coast Maine located in Owls Head, ME. As a L & D career RN, this has been a retirement bucket list of mine. Thus, this is my 2nd and final litter. I trained thru AKC and did neurological stimulation with the puppies. They are spectacular.
Q. & A. with Clair
Why did you start breeding?
Bucket list as retired L&D RN. Took a few courses and attended seminars on dog breeding & whelping.
What makes your program special?
Small, household very limited (2 fantastic litters) breeder. We drove to the Carolina's to get a Bichon, whom we named Doris Day. I found a well-credentialed stud in Readfield, Maine.

Our puppies include tan and white, black and white, and apricot and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

They live in my home.

“older (born 6/2023), I held them back til Ace got over his juvenile skin condition. They are a bonded pair, but could be separated if you don't want two. I’d be delighted if you took both!!! This is our last litter and the pups are late entry to the market. I will add a discount if you are interested in both pups. Spayed, neutered, potty & crate trained.”
