    Caressa provided an outstanding experience from start to finish. She took the time to answer all of our questions about the breed and went over the whole process of purchasing and transporting a puppy. It's clear that she cares a great deal for her dogs and their well-being. We couldn't be happier with our new family member, Copper, and we highly recommend Malu Lani Cavaliers to anyone looking for a Cavalier from a caring and responsible breeder.

    I am so grateful to have found such an honest, ethical and passionate breeder of my favorite dog, the Cavalier. My Daisy is a beautiful chocolate and tan color with beautiful hazel eyes. She is so loving with me and is the best dog I’ve owned. I appreciate Caressa’s intense research and health testing to produce healthy and just beautiful cavaliers. I would highly recommend and definitely would purchase again from this wonderful breeder.
