I'm Dan D., the breeder behind Conner Creek Cavapoos located in Nashville, TN. Conner Creek Cavapoos originate from a well-known family tradition of AKC Cavaliers -- 21 years and 7 generations - health tested annually with Board Certified Specialists for hearts/knees/eyes from healthy US and European bloodlines, with many from well-known AKC champions. Health is my main focus.
Q. & A. with Dan
Why did you start breeding?
I have been involved in breeding Cavaliers for the majority of my life. - I am a 2nd generation family breeder. While my mother specializes in Cavaliers, I have grown fond of the Cavapoo.
The morals/ethics I learned working with my mother have led me to continue the family passion of producing healthy companions. Every Cavapoo I produce comes with a pedigree currently unrivaled in America.

What makes your program special?
My breeding program is solely under my supervision and care. I don't use guardian homes for my breeding adults - I relish in the care, love, and work needed to keep my breeding adults in top health. The health of my adults and puppies is closely observed by Board Certified Canine Specialists at integral parts of each canines life. I am well aware of my breeding adults temperament and health.
