Q. & A. with Tina
Why did you start breeding?
We were given a dog by a dear friend unfortunately it came from a puppy mill and had every possible thing you could think of wrong with her. We had her 7 beautiful years until her condition took her from us. This made us decide to breed and breed for Health ! My disabled daughter said she wants a legacy of healthy Cavaliers as she can't have babies .What makes your program special?
We breed from home. They are born in my bedroom ! We test our dogs every year. We breed for the betterment of the breed. My daughter Angelina has William Syndrome one upon a time we couldn’t afford a puppy and someone gave her one. We pay it forward every year by giving a dog totally free to a person with special needs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blenheim, 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.

Krystal, mom
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
About Krystal
When I say a dog is spoiled and she knows it sorry to say it's all my fault 🤦♀️ Krystal has always been my "Baby girl" she is gentle and loving and her most favorite thing to do is cuddle. Her spoilt comes out if any of the dogs have anything she wants ... and of course everything is hers! Every toy, every bone, every scrap, every treat. Her pass time is waiting for the other dogs to finish there stick treat and then bait them with hers .I really should capture this on video it's really funny. Oh and of course ME ! I am all hers and the other dogs know if they are in my lap and she jumps up ... they move!! . She is the Queen and does not share her throne for anyone even her pups lol

+6Tina was great to work with. She called me right away and we chatted via video so I could see both girls and decide together which would best for my lifestyle. She agreed with my original pick but it was a hard decision for sure. When I met my little girl, she was loveable and gentle. We took a looking to each other immediately. I traveled to pick her up and Tina set us up for a successful journey back home. The first very check I had with her went well and she's been nothing but a joy for the 2 weeks I've had her. Can't imagine my life without her ever again. She's playful and cuddly and hasn't barked but has the cutest playful growl with her toys. 😊 I would highly recommend working with Tina to anyone who is looking for a well adjusted, playful, and gently Cavalier. Thank you, Tina, for my amazing new furbaby. She's perfect!!

I am so happy I found Tina Smith! My puppy is so beautiful and sweet! This was my first time purchasing a puppy of my own and the experience was great! She was very helpful, she was kind, and the process of getting my puppy here to me was great as well! You can tell that she puts love and warmth into raising her puppies. My family loves our puppy and we’re all very happy! Overall this was a great experience and I would definitely suggest getting a cavalier from her!
