Q. & A. with Michelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed and decided to start my own responsible breeding program in order to continue my incredible line and to share these wonderful dogs with others. I’m passionate about what I do and am dedicated to producing healthy, quality puppies. Every litter is always a little different, but it is so fulfilling to see the different personalities and such a joy and challenge to hand-raise each puppy. I love watching them blossom!

  • What makes your program special?

    My program is built with love from the ground up. I care deeply about responsible breeding, and I do everything I can to ensure my dogs and puppies are getting the best care in every aspect of their lives with me. Because I want each placement to be lifelong and each pup to thrive in their role, I try to find the perfect match for my puppies and buyers. It is my goal to find loving homes for my puppies and provide families and individuals with the Cavalier of their dreams!

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blenheim, ruby, tri-color, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
