Meet the breeder

I'm Barbara F., the breeder behind Rivershyre Cavaliers of Georgia located in Commerce, GA. As private breeders our Cavaliers are hand raised and loved every single day from the moment they are born. Our home is calm, quiet and warm to ensure the puppies are brought into a welcoming environment. Resulting in loving temperaments and personalities.

Q. & A. with Barbara

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When our children were younger, we bred Mastiffs for years and as a family, we loved it! Now, in our fun retirement age, we decided to consider a smaller breed. Once we discovered the Cavaliers, we instantly fell in love. With our experience, we felt we could do more than just breed, we knew it was important to teach others more about the breed and to take the time to educate new owners.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our main focus and goal is to always do the right thing. In life, love and breeding Cavaliers. They have needs and wants, just like us, that must be addressed and met, and I feel we have the ability to do just that! As our puppies move onto their forever homes, we teach the same to their new owners so everyone can feel confident moving forward in the puppy's life journey. Cavaliers are our family.

  • 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.

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Brucellosis

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Episodic Falling Syndrome (EFS), Dry Eye Curly Coat Syndrome (CKSID), GenSol Diagnostics DNA Testing
