Q. & A. with Ewa Joanna

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have been breeding since 2001 I absolutely love making families happy with beautiful, healthy puppies. My daughter and my granddaughter love helping with raising well socialized companions.

  • What makes your program special?

    I absolutely do not ship!! I need to meet each family who is welcoming one of my puppies to their home. I need at least 2 hours of their time to go over ALL PROPER CARE INSTRUCTIONS, training and paperwork.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Japanese Chin puppies include sable and white, white and black, lemon and white, and black and white. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies include blenheim, ruby, black and tan, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We were looking for a reputable breeder with experience and knowledge. We found that breeder here on Good Dog in Ewa Joanna. Poppy has been a wonderful addition to our empty nest. Ewa Joanna took time with us on pick-up day to review much about Poppy as this breed was new to us. We cannot thank her enough.

    We picked up the sweetest puppy, now named Ritz, from Ewa about a month ago. He has been the best puppy we've ever had! He was already sleeping long stretches on the night in his crate and pottying on the puppy pads consistently. He has the sweetest temperament and is such a fast learner! He has had a couple vet visits now and is totally healthy. We are so impressed with Ewa's breeding and early training. Highly recommend!!!

    Our experience adopting our Cavalier from Ewa was beyond expectation. She is the Cavalier expert through and through, she kept us updated, communicated often and quickly, and went above and beyond to set us and pup up for success. She spent a lot of time with us to educate and provide us with resources for every possible thing your family and pup could need. I would highly recommend working with Ewa at Konopka Kennels!

    We picked up the newest addition to our family a little over a week ago and she has been amazing!!! Little Charlotte has adjusted so well to her new environment and especially the two little humans who are constantly fighting over who gets to feed her and take her out. The entire process with Ewa was terrific. She was so responsive throughout and her periodic pictures only added to our anticipation. Charlotte was healthy and so well taken care of that after just the first day, she was already well adjusted and part of the family. Thanks for making this experience such a positive one for all of us....Charlotte included.

    I had a wonderful experience with Ewa, the breeder of my sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, Grace. From the very first email, Ewa was a pleasure to work with. She responded to every message incredibly quickly—often within minutes—which made the whole process feel personal and stress-free. She constantly sent me adorable, up-to-date pictures of Grace, which I looked forward to every time. It truly helped me feel connected to my puppy even before I brought her home. Ewa was always so sweet, friendly, and genuinely caring. She also took the time to be very informative and educational, patiently answering all my questions. Thanks to Ewa, bringing Grace home has been such a joyful experience. I can’t recommend her highly enough—she’s a wonderful, dedicated breeder who clearly loves what she does and truly cares about her puppies and their families. Thank you so much, Ewa!

    We adopted a cavalier in March and are so deeply in love with him. Ewa takes the time to teach you about the breed, their health, and how to care for your new puppy which is so valuable! We could not have asked for a better experience!
