Meet the breeder

I'm MARCIA E G., the breeder behind Marcia Garstin's Cavalier King Charles Spaniels located in Estill Springs, TN.

Q. & A. with MARCIA E

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have been in the Veterinary World since 1978. i was breeding Dobermans when a technician approached me and said " you need to get into cavaliers'. My Masters Degree is in Animal Genetics from The Ohio State University. I take pride that my breeding dogs are screened by cardiologists, and ophthalmologists. there are other tests that are performed, i want only the best and to make the breed better.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am a show handler in conformation, a teammate in agility, a therapy dog handler of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I take pride in raising puppies who can excel in work, show, or as beloved companions. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.

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

    Our puppies include blenheim, black and white, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Price

Puppy prices include between $4,500 - $4,800 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“the price is dependent on stud fee paid, veterinary cost incurred, the number of resulting puppies...I pay to register each pup with AKC and the Cavalier USA Club. i do not take deposits, i try to place the right pup with the right home. If I am asked to fly to your area with the puppy I can do that. Please realize though that I am outputting cost of the airfare so in that case I would ask for a 500$ deposit. if you accept the puppy then that money is applied to the purchase price. the next question- do i have a waitlist- yes for tricolors. I only have blenheims at the moment.”
