  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have been interested in breeding since I was in my early teens. When my obligations as a mother lightened up, I knew it was the time to start my breeding journey.

I truly enjoy building a relationship with each pup's new family!

    I’ll be forever grateful that I found Christy (Dogwood & Sassafras Companions). I brought my 11 week-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel a week ago, and thanks to all of the care and socialization she received with Christy and her family, she transitioned smoothly. Christy was incredibly helpful answering questions and so organized with all of the paperwork and information when they met us with River (aka Anna). I would highly recommend getting a puppy from them to any friend or family member. Completely worth driving from Texas to Missouri to get my precious, healthy puppy.

    We are so thankful that we found Christy. She was so helpful and responsive from the very beginning. I had some questions here and there that were always answered. She is very knowledgeable and pays close attention to her puppy’s personalities, behaviors, etc. When we brought our sweet boy home he settled in pretty quickly. We have had him for several weeks now and he is extremely smart and has done so well with training. He has the most calm and loving disposition, and I believe a lot of it has to do with him being raised by Christy. She also put so much care with his adoption package, a cute certificate and some toys and a blanket. She is a wonderful breeder and I would recommend her to anyone. We made the right choice and are so happy with our little guy!

    We couldn’t have chosen a better breeder! Christy was incredibly responsive, transparent, and went above and beyond to make sure that we had all of the information we needed before getting our sweet pup. She provided thorough health records, lots of pictures, took extra time out of her day to do a video visit with us, and sent our boy with everything he could possibly need to transition to our home. We came from Tennessee, and Christy took extra steps to prepare him well for a long car ride back. She was flexible with us on the day of our pick up, and through it all it was evident that she truly cares for the puppies she raises. Our little boy Rusty has been transitioning so well; a true testament to how well she socialized and cared for him. From the beginning of the process to even after bringing our best friend home, she made sure that we had all that we needed. We are so grateful for Christy, my husband and I couldn’t love our sweet Rusty more if we tried!❤️🐾

    Christy was phenomenal to work with from start to finish! She was extremely responsive, sent many updates throughout the waiting period, answered any and all questions we had extremely thoroughly, and was so kind and generous. It was very evident how much love and care she puts towards her puppies. We love our little boy, Chesney (Arthur), and could not be more appreciative to Christy for everything!
