Nicky H.

Breeder of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

Meet the breeder

I'm Nicky H., the breeder behind F-Stop Cavaliers located in Valley, WA. I am one of the Northwest's top breeders of health-tested cavaliers, and my dogs are shown in both conformation and agility. I have finished many champions and grand champions, who are mostly owner handled. I breed well-bred, healthy puppies out of health tested adults.

Q. & A. with Nicky

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I began breeding several years after I began showing in conformation. I learned from a licensed veterinarian. I breed selectively, usually a few times a year with careful attention to health, temperament, and breed standard.

  • What makes your program special?

    Dogs are my life and I am dedicated to producing high quality Cavaliers, that keep my puppy clients coming back when looking for their next family member.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blenheim, ruby, tri-color, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Parent health testing

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

F-Stop Cavaliers 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.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    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 Disease Panel

    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).
