Meet the breeder

I'm Karen T., the breeder behind Royal Garden Cavaliers located in Paterson, WA. I raise Cavaliers as cherished members of my family. My mission is to breed healthy, well-socialized puppies with the signature sweet, affectionate temperament that makes Cavaliers so special. Every litter is raised inside my home with lots of love and I'm committed to matching my puppies with dedicated forever homes and providing lifetime support to my puppy families.

Q. & A. with Karen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My journey into breeding didn't start with a business plan. Years ago, I welcomed my very first Cavalier King Charles Spaniel into my life, and from that exact moment, my world completely changed. I quickly realized that these aren't just dogs—they are little souls wrapped in fur, uniquely capable of healing, comforting, and bringing pure, unfiltered joy into a home.

  • What makes your program special?

    My puppies are born in my home, surrounded by love. I am dedicated to preserving everything that makes the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel so magical—their gentle souls, their absolute devotion, and that famous, melting expression that warms your heart. By blending strict health testing with endless affection, I give my puppies the very best start so they can bring a lifetime of joy to your family.

  • 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.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
