    Our goal is to achieve the highest health standards for our Cavaliers in order to contribute to this beautiful breed's overall beauty and well being.

    It was a pleasure dealing with and meeting Teresa and her husband. We are very happy with our new puppy, Crystal Blue (Zoie). The meeting place they suggested worked out very well and Teresa provided all the detail documentation for Crystal and he parents. We couldn't be happier.

    Teresa was great when we got Sammie. She explained the breed to me and recommended a diet for him that he thrives on. He was the perfect fit to our family. My grandchildren cannot wait to come over every day to see him. He was the most loving and affectionate puppy with the children and adults. Teresa has definitely shown the puppies a lot of love. Thank you for our special little guy.

    Teresa was amazing to work with! She was very good at communicating and allowing me to come meet the puppies before putting down a deposit. You can tell her and her husband really care for their puppies. I would defiantly recommend Teresa!!

    I had a great experience with Teresa! She was very responsive and forthcoming about information about her pups. She shared additional pictures and vet records prior to purchase. It's very clear that Teresa invests a lot of time into socializing her litters with people and other dogs and exposing them to new things while they are young. This has made my puppy super resilient and curious about anything new in the environment. I couldn't be more thrilled with my little girl. The pick up process was very easy. My puppy is well on her way to being housebroken and is very social. Just two weeks in and she has great recall and she's doing well with our other dogs and cats. Highly recommend this breeder and her adorable pups! (Also, me wondering when to get my second cav from Teresa! LOL)

    Teresa was such a wonderful breeder to work with. You can tell she loves her puppies and is very eager to answer any possible question! My puppy Leon has been an angel and I couldn’t have asked for a better first pup experience. I would highly recommend them and can see myself reaching out to her in the future. Thank you so much!
