Meet the breeder

I'm Lori M., the breeder behind Lori's Cavalier King Charles Spaniels & Dachshunds located in Harvard, IL. I have been a breeder for 40 years. I breed for healthy puppies and ones that can also go and win in the show ring. They are all AKC registered. I check hearts and eyes on my cavaliers and have also been doing the embark on them. So far, I have not had any come back with a cavalier issue.

Q. & A. with Lori

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up always wanting a dog. So when I got married, one of the first things we did was to get an AKC registered dog. (Chinese Shar-Pei). I was lucky enough to find a mentor and she taught me SO much. She also pointed me in the cavalier direction and the rest is history. I have dabbled in many breeds over the years. But have always stayed with the cavaliers and now dachies also.

  • What makes your program special?

    I believe my program is special in that I have given my whole life to producing quality puppies. I believe I have a good eye and only breed the best females to produce the best puppies.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Dachshund puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our Dachshund puppies have smooth coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our Dachshund puppies include piebald, red, and black and tan. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel 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.
