Meet the breeder

I'm Amanda N., the breeder behind Novella Cavaliers located in New Cumberland, PA. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and confirmation, to be well socialized, healthy, versatile dogs. I follow and use Puppy Culture Protocols for socialization of all of our litters and I stay current with any advancements in breeding and puppy rearing practices.

Q. & A. with Amanda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding over 10 years ago when my mentor graciously shared one of her breeding girls with me and guided me through the rearing.

  • What makes your program special?

    I stay informed of best breeding and puppy rearing practices through my work with services dogs. I attend yearly conferences and symposiums with the top people in the field.

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