Q. & A. with Mike & Katie
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding when searching for our first cavalier. We found it difficult to find a small family breeder that was 100% in the home, and had ethical breeding practices. Needless to say I set out to do it better and be more focused on the dogs in the breeding program being beloved family members first and foremost and their health and wellbeing is always number 1.What makes your program special?
We are completely out of our home. Our breeding dogs live in our home 24/7 as beloved family members. Our breeding dogs get breaks between litters. Our breeding dogs get top of line quality nutrition, it os expensive but we find it of the utmost importance. We do not focus importance on profit. But healthy happy pups that go to great homes. We do DNA health testing to help ensure healthy pups.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blenheim and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Libby
Libby is very outgoing. She loves everyone she meets. She is playful and a snuggler. She is so far my smaller female but still has some growing to do. She has very rich chestnut coloring and her coat is shorter and easier to manage.
