I'm Abby L., the breeder behind Southern Valley Cavaliers located in Cleveland, TN. Our goal is preservation of the breed and healthy, well-rounded cavaliers ready to be welcomed into their new home.

Q. & A. with Abby

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our love for this extraordinary breed inspires everything we do, from ensuring their health and well-being to helping you find the perfect addition to your family. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels make the perfect companion for households of all kinds. We are committed to maintaining the breed’s standard, focusing on temperament, health, and quality.

  • What makes your program special?

    All of our cavaliers are AKC registered and DNA/health tested. Each puppy is showered with individual attention, helping them develop their unique personalities while building trust and social skills. They interact daily with people, and they are gently introduced to other pets, ensuring they grow up comfortable in a variety of social settings.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

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