I'm Kim S., the breeder behind Harvest Moon Cavaliers Expecting April 2025 located in Poolesville, MD. My passion for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels inspired my decision to become a breeder. I fell in love with the breed many years ago, with my first Cavalier boy "Tucker". I fell head over heels in love with him and the breed. I breed with a focus on health and temperament, with the goal of preparing loving well adjusted puppies for their forever homes. On day three of their lives I begin Early Neurological Stimulation for two consecutive weeks. In addition I spend a lot of time socializing and training our puppies so they will have a great foundation of good behavior and neurological development.

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.
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).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
