Meet the breeder

I'm Marki K., the breeder behind M & M Cavaliers located in Bainbridge, NY. M & M Cavaliers is devoted to ensuring the availability of happy are healthy puppies for others to enjoy and we do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. We treasure each puppy in our program and give them all the attention and care that we possibly can. We work hard so our puppies can leave our home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family!

Q. & A. with Marki

  • Why did you start breeding?

    There’s nothing like puppy breath and puppy kisses, right? When I first adopted my first Cavalier, I had him shipped to NY from Ohio. I could not find a breeder locally. As I learned about the breed, and watched my sister develop her breeding program (different breed), I thought - I’d really like to try this. I think I’d be good at it! And so began my aspirations of breeding Cavs in retirement.

  • What makes your program special?

    I think what sets our program apart is our decision to invite families into our home, on a weekly basis, to develop a relationship with their chosen puppy. They get to know the Momma of the litter, and they get to experience the atmosphere in which our puppies are raised. An unintended benefit of this has been the opportunity to develop relationships with the buyers. We’ve made so many friends!

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

    Our puppies include blenheim and ruby. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
