Meet the breeder

I'm Christina S., the breeder behind iHeart Cavaliers located in Pennsylvania. As a breeder my goal is to produce healthy puppies that are given all of our attention from birth until they leave for their new homes. They are raised in our living room along side of our daily activities from day one. They are raised around cats and other dogs & children.

Q. & A. with Christina

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started breeding, it is a hobby. I have always loved Cavaliers and wanted to breed healthy puppies that could bring as much joy to others as they have to me.

  • What makes your program special?

    I feel our breeding program is special because we truly love and adore our Cavs. They are our lifelong pets above being breeders. They are raised and whelped in-home, and share our living space. They are handled daily, around cats, other dogs, and children. They are so loving and confident due to this exposure.

  • 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.
