Royal Heritage Spaniels
- Scottsdale, AZ
Meet the breeder
I'm Debra D., the breeder behind Royal Heritage Spaniels located in Scottsdale, AZ. Over 50 years ago, I welcomed my first Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Elizabeth and Tartan, imported directly from England. While I'm not a large-scale breeder and only raise the occasional litter, my mission has always been singular; to preserve the health, integrity, and timeless quality of the Cavalier.
Q. & A. with Debra
Why did you start breeding?
I am not a commercial breeder; I only raise the occasional letter and try to find the perfect forever home for my babies.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our English Toy Spaniel puppies include red and black and tan. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies include blenheim and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
