Q. & A. with Dorothy

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Dorothy

Dorothy has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 refundable deposit and $4,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“Meadowlake cavaliers are sold with limited registrations and spay/neuter agreements. They are sent home with copies of the parents’ health testing, a well puppy vet exam, vaccination records and a handbook of care and instructions. Meadowlake cavaliers are dual registered with the AKC and CKCSC, USA. Once my puppies are at least a month old, I begin to accept deposits on the available puppies in the litter. This is after we have had a visit to my home, or an interview, my puppy questionnaire is completed and my sale agreement is reviewed.”

Contract & health guarantee

Dorothy may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Dorothy offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Dorothy directly.
