Critter's Cottage Cavaliers

Kristin R.

Breeder of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

  • Edmond, OK

Meet the breeder

I'm Kristin R., the breeder behind Critter's Cottage Cavaliers located in Edmond, OK. I currently breed Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Cavapoos. I previously bred Papillons and have raised multiple emotional support animals and two medical service dogs from whelped pups.

Q. & A. with Kristin

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We were blessed with a Papillon dam who served as my son's autism support dog. Our sire is my daughter's anxiety support dog. Their whelped litters included 2 medical alert and 3 emotional support dogs. We stand staunchly against purebred pet market gatekeeping and believe well bred, properly socialized, healthy, happy dogs should be available regardless of your desire to compete.

  • What makes your program special?

    I spend multiple dedicated hours a day with pups & mom and am full time at home. We introduce them to a diverse crowd of folks starting at week 4, ensure many toys and textures are available, bathe and nail trim multiple times, begin leash training, basic obedience, potty pad training, crates, name recognition, etc. We'd be glad to accommodate your disability in exposure therapy!

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

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
