Kelly F.

Breeder of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

Meet the breeder

I'm Kelly F., the breeder behind CrownHeir located in Austin, TX. I am 2nd generation, AKC show breeder who only breeds OFA certified Champions of exemplary standard and temperament. I breed healthy, beautiful puppies. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's beloved pet. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes. My dogs are bred for those specifics, and I take pride in my breeding program.

Q. & A. with Kelly

  • Why did you start breeding?

    The saying goes, “I was whelped into a Samoyed litter box.” My grandmother & my Mom's love for all well-bred animals led to showing and breeding top winning AKC Ntl Ch Samoyeds. Growing up I assisted my Mom in the ring. As an adult, I have gone on to show and breed AKC Ch. Rottweilers and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I guess you could say it’s in my blood.
  • What makes your program special?

    My breeding program is about only using dogs of excellent temperament, proven merit by qualified judges and certified health clearances. Any baby we are blessed with is whelped, raised and nurtured in our home 24/7. No kennel on our estate. I keep no more than 4 dogs of the highest standards. A CrownHeir Cavalier is a big deal around here and anyone who gets one becomes family.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Parent health testing

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

CrownHeir reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Brucellosis

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Profile, OFA/CHIC DNA Repository

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
