Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
My love for dogs has led me to this time in my life. This breed stood out from all the other small dogs. This is why I got into breeding the Cavalier.
What makes your program special?
I take great care of my adult dogs. They are up to date in all shots and vet care. They get what they need nutritionally as well as mentally. They get walks, kisses, hugs and lots of love. In return I get lots of face washes and hugs. I make sure my mothers are very healthy physically as well as mentally. This is I am sure when they bring new life into this world, they know they are fully loved.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blenheim, ruby, black and tan, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Julie was great to work with and super friendly and knowledgeable! I got regular updates about Ella (formerly Merry) and Julie was flexible about arranging for me to pick up Ella. Ella has been a great dog and I can tell she was well taken care of and socialized before I got her. It was easy to communicate with Julie and pay through Good Dog. I would definitely work with Julie again and I have told friends and family about my Good Dog experience!

Julie is amazing! She went over everything and I got to see Remy’s family. I have had Remy for almost 2 months and he is great! He is full of energy and has a big heart. He loves spending time with my nephew and nieces as well as our entire family.
