In the fall of 2023, I became interested in adding another dog to our family. I came across Cavalier King Charles Spaniels as a suggestion but I had never heard of the breed. When I started looking into it, I found Julie and was thrilled that she lived in my area. Julie was wonderful to work with. She responded promptly to all my questions and sent us so much information before bringing our puppy home that we felt very prepared. She welcomed me into her home to meet her own dogs before I made my decision. She also welcomed me again to meet our Maggie when she was just a baby. What really struck me was how much Julie and her family truly love these dogs. The puppies are read to, played with and cared for by the whole family. We are so thrilled with our girl Maggie! She’s happy, healthy, playful, and loves her chocolate lab brother. She was so easy to train, slept all night from the beginning and her temperament is outstanding. I cannot recommend this breed or Julie highly enough!

My first cavalier was a rescue and while I had an amazing bond with her and fell in love with the breed, she had many health problems and special needs. Despite this, she was very helpful with anxiety and PTSD, and I was sure I wanted another cavalier after losing her. When deciding I was ready for another dog, I vetted many breeders looking for the best match. I was delighted to find Faithful Friends and my experience has been, and still is, the best I've had with any of my dog adoptions over the years. From the first conversation, Julie took note of what I was looking for in a companion and what I could provide. She really does match her dogs so wonderfully and can identify their personalities from birth. Julie is an excellent breeder with such care and attention to the wellbeing of not only her puppies, but the parents as well. It is clear that all of her dogs are loved as members of their family. From the birth of my dog's litter, after Julie said there was a female available, I put down a deposit and named her. From there, she and her family used her name and the rest of the litter's to start training and socializing them. The pups are all raised with the help of her wonderful children on their small farm, so they go to their owners completely desensitized to children of all ages, animals, noises, etc. My girl Zuzu is not only complimented on for being an excellent standard for the breed, but for having that amazing cavalier temperament of being fun-loving, athletic, engaged, but also willing to snuggle on the couch for down time. She is great at easing anxiety and lays on my chest when I have panic attacks. Zuzu, daughter of Sam and Meg, is incredibly smart and attentive and thrives in all types of environments! I ALWAYS refer Julie and her breeding program to anyone interested in a new addition. My friend nearby recently adopted a cavalier from Julie that we have sister play dates with. She too, is a doll and an example of Faithful Friends' excellence. All in all, I am so grateful to have found Julie and her program and couldn't imagine my life without my Faithful Friend, Zuzu.
