Q. & A. with Marioara

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My daughter introduced me to Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and upon discovering their shortage, I decided to start breeding after caring for two of the sweetest cavaliers. Committed to responsible practices, I focus on producing healthy, well-socialized puppies to meet the needs of interested families.
  • What makes your program special?

    I am passionate about providing the highest care for my beautiful Cavaliers and your future companion. They are as cherished as my own children, with their own room and home-cooked meals tailored to their needs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blenheim, 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.

    I adopted my female Cavalier Margot in May 2022. Margot was a well adjusted puppy and she settled into our home nicely. We love her very much. Marioara was happy to spend time with us and provided insight on diet recommendations to us. She seems to genuinely enjoy and love her dogs.
