Q. & A. with Irina
Why did you start breeding?
Our first Cavalier Bella is of such good disposition and temperament, that we wanted puppy from her. We got our male Leo and two years later had beautiful puppies.
What makes your program special?
We only have one breeding female at the time, so we can dedicate 100% of our time to socializing and raising puppies.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Irina is truly the best! This is my first Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and she was available for any questions I had for the breed. Answered questions right away, very friendly and informative. Thanks to her, we have our little Dexter who is the best dog we have ever owned. He is the cuddliest of cuddle bugs and has the best personality that fits our lifestyle. We couldn’t be happier!
