Q. & A. with Kids and Canines
Why did you start breeding?
After spending a few years reading and researching about this fantastic breed and realizing how much I love raising newborn puppies, I wanted to pour into these dogs from a young age before going to their forever home.What makes your program special?
All of our pups are raising in our living room and are socialized and loved on from a very young age.

Our puppies include blenheim and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?

I loved my experience with Kate and her beautiful family. Our puppy came home well-socialized and healthy, having been loved on by children and adults alike. Their home is clean and the puppies were whelped and raised right in their living room. Even now, Kate answers questions and asks for updates. I'd definitely recommend Kids and Canines to anyone looking for a sweet Cavi!

Kate was wonderful to work with. Her home is beautiful, clean and a happy place, perfect for puppies. I adopted two of Hazel and Henry's pups, Dixie and Duke. They are healthy and vibrant little beings. Love them both dearly.

Kids and Canines were great to work with. They addressed all my concerns about my new puppy Noelle. A true testament to their love for their animals was a comment made by all of the staff at the Veterinary Clinic. They said they have never met a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel as friendly and loving as Noelle . The groomers made a similar comment.

Picking up the puppy went very smoothly! Lily is a very calm tempered puppy! She does not bark after we put her in her crate!
