Q. & A. with Katie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After years of research, finding our first females, and completing health testing, we found a mentor to guide us, support us and provide stud services. We chose to commit to our goals of producing healthy puppies, then raise them according to Puppy Culture guidelines. We chose to breed for our love of Cavaliers and our dedication to maintaining the health of this special breed.

  • What makes your program special?

    My breeding program is small and family-oriented. Our main desire is to breed healthy dogs that follow AKC standards. Our breeding dogs are our family pets.

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

    Our puppies include blenheim, ruby, tri-color, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    They live in my home.

    Katie was a joy to work with! I spent a long while looking at breeders and chose her for several reasons. One of the main reasons is that she truly cares about her dogs and keeps them in her home with her. It’s clear that this is a passion of hers and her love for her dogs and the breed showed throughout my time working with her. She was very communicative throughout the process and sent updated photos and videos of my puppy from the day she was born. It was wonderful getting to see her grow up and know that she was so well cared for. When the time came to pick up my puppy, Katie traveled to a location that was closer to my home and made that process easy as well. She sent us home with a very extensive care package including a homemade puppy blanket and shirts for my new pup. I love the thought of having those reminders around for years to come. Ultimately, I would absolutely work with Katie again. I waited many years for the right time to get my first Cavalier puppy and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My pup has settled right in to her new home and was clearly socialized before I brought her home with me as well. She did great through her first thunderstorms and fireworks experiences. She also gets along so well with my 6 year old son and my 3 year old golden retriever (who is at least 10 times her size). I will be forever grateful to Katie for providing me with my new little angel. 🙂

    Katie and Moon Dream Cavaliers were absolutely amazing from our first inquiry all the way to pickup day. My fiancé and I were searching for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and came across Katie’s page on GoodDog. From my very first message, Katie responded quickly, was incredibly informative, and answered all of my questions thoroughly. We live in CT, and she even offered to help us figure out travel—going as far as looking up flights to make the process easier for us. Once we decided to move forward and placed our deposit, Katie provided frequent updates. She even asked what we were planning to name our puppy so she could start calling her by name, which was such a thoughtful touch. Katie hand-knit sweaters and a blanket for her, even asking what colors we liked—something that made the experience feel so personal and showed how much she truly cares about every dog. Throughout the entire process, we received so many photos, videos, and updates as our puppy grew. When we picked up Annie at around 13 weeks, she came home with an incredible “starter kit” filled with toys, outfits, chews, and supplies. Katie also made us feel so comfortable about flying with a puppy for the first time. She reassured us every step of the way, and Annie did great on her flight thanks to Katie’s guidance. The entire process was seamless because of her support. Now that Annie is home, she is settling in wonderfully. She came to us already potty trained, crate trained, and even knowing some basic commands, which we are so grateful for. I cannot recommend Katie and Moon Dream Cavaliers enough to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and knowledgeable breeder. We would absolutely make the long travel day again in a heartbeat to get another Cavalier from her!

    Words can’t truly describe how incredible our experience was with Katie as our breeder. My fiancé and I were so excited but also nervous to get our first puppy, especially a Cavalier, and knowing how many health issues the breed can have, it was incredibly important to us to find a breeder we could fully trust and who was completely transparent. From the very beginning, Katie went above and beyond. She immediately shared all of the health paperwork for our puppy’s parents, and from the moment we put a deposit down to pickup day, she sent daily updates, photos, videos, and milestone check ins that made us feel confident and involved every step of the way. On pickup day, Katie had every vaccination and health record perfectly organized in a packet, and seeing the clean, comfortable, and loving environment the puppies are raised in gave us total peace of mind. She even asked what we planned to name Ellie so she could start calling her by name, began crate training, and uses turf squares indoors to help with potty training. Because of all the care and effort Katie puts into raising her dogs, Ellie has not cried once in her crate since night one and has had barely any accidents in the house. It genuinely feels like we brought home a pre trained puppy. I cannot recommend Moon Dream Cavaliers enough if you are looking for a Cavalier and want to work with a breeder who truly does things the right way. We are beyond happy with our puppy and so grateful for our entire experience with Katie.

    I cannot recommend Katie highly enough! As a first-time Cavalier owner, I had so many questions, and Katie was incredibly helpful every step of the way. She provided countless tips and tricks, answered all of my questions, and kept me updated with so many pictures and videos while I waited to bring my puppy home. The entire process was seamless. Katie met me at the airport, making pickup incredibly easy and stress-free. She sent Frankie home with an amazing care package that included toys, treats, clothes, and so many thoughtful extras that helped us get started. Most importantly, Frankie is the absolute best and cutest dog I could have hoped for. It was obvious from day one how much care and effort Katie puts into raising her puppies. Frankie came home nearly potty trained thanks to her process, which made the transition so much easier. He was also exceptionally well-socialized and exposed to a variety of experiences during those critical early weeks. Those early foundations have made him the confident, friendly, adaptable, and wonderful dog he is today. You can tell Katie truly loves her dogs and is dedicated to giving her puppies the very best start in life. Bringing Frankie home was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I am so grateful to Katie for helping make him the amazing dog he is.

    Katie was phenomenal. Literally a flawless experience throughout. She was very informative, honest, and knowledgeable. I don’t know how her communication and insight could have been any better. Unbelievable experience and our puppy was thriving in her new home after the first night. Thank you Katie! Highly recommended! And thank you!

    We have had 2 Cavaliers in the past. Each time we had to drive out of state to pick them up. It was so nice to have a breeder so close to West Bend. Katie was open to us coming to see Luke so we actually had the opportunity to watch him grow in person. It was also nice to see the environment in which he was being raised. Katie has numerous Cavaliers, who she calls "The Bigs". Luke had a lot of socialization with the dogs and other people and different situations. Katie kept in contact with us throughout the entire process sending updated photos and answering our questions. We plan on using Kaci's Bark at the Moon in West Bend for Luke's grooming needs. This entire process was a very pleasant experience. Good Dog was easy to use and we would recommend the service. Thanks, Katie for bringing a lot of love into our house.
