Q. & A. with Diane

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was very fortunate in the early years to have some wonderful mentors and advisors. Though I have had dogs my entire life, I did not breed my first litter until I had been involved in the breed for five years. It took time to understand breed “type”, structure, movement, temperament and health issues. I’m glad I waited.

  • What makes your program special?

    My priorities are to breed healthy dogs with wonderful temperaments. I very often sell puppies to families who have children with special needs. Yes, type and confirmation are important, but if a dog is placed with a family of children and dies at an early age, what has been accomplished? I’d rather produce a long-lived dog with the “typical” Cavalier personality than the prettiest one.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Evanlake 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.

  • 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.
