“It’s a multitude of factors must work from home or be retired. I will not sell a puppy to someone who works full-time. This Bri does not do well left on its own. They’re like a toddler that never grows up and has extreme separation anxiety. Once criteria is met for me, I will contact those that fit after the application is put in and find out the color that they are looking for and the sex. I will determine through references being your veterinarian and personal references past pet experience whether you qualify to have one of my puppies or not it’s a very stringent process that I’ve used for my program for 25 years. It works well for me. All puppies are chipped and I am first on notation if puppy is given away or goes to rescue, I will be notified. It’s like finding the perfect puzzle piece for the perfect puzzle.”

Kelli T.
Stargazer Cavaliers Introduction Letter Thank you for reaching out and expressing interest in our puppies. As an AKC-registered breeder with awards for education and breeder of Merritt, we do not sell to other breeders or individuals requesting breeding rights. We have implemented a spay/neuter contract for our puppies. Currently, we have a waitlist open for puppies from spring 2027 through end of 2027. Puppies from fall through end of 2026 reservations are full- To be added to the waitlist, a deposit is required. This will hold your spot in line- only4 deposits per Female. The deposit is $500, and the cost of the puppy starts at $4,500 and increases to $6000(the deposit applied to the price for each puppy). The price also depends on whether you prefer American bloodlines , European bloodlines, or chocolate. Our European dogs based from The legendary Bonitos Companeros bloodline is one of the most elite and historically significant Cavalier King Charles Spaniel lines in the world. Headquartered in Germany, this world-renowned kennel has secured multiple World Winner titles over decades of master-level breeding. When combined with historic Russian and Polish bloodlines, this powerhouse European lineage elevates the breed's size, substance, and coat: * Unmatched Size and Bone Structure: Integrating Bonitos Companeros with top-tier Polish and Russian champions reinforces a short, compact body with incredible "substance". These lines are heavily celebrated for their wide rib cages, strong bone structure, and proud, level toplines. Unlike sleeker American lines, these dogs carry the robust weight and structural soundness designed for traditional European standard excellence. * Thick, Lavish Coat Texture: Originating in the cooler climates of Northern and Eastern Europe, the Russian, Polish, and German combination places an immense genetic emphasis on a lush, protective coat. Dogs inheriting these lines showcase a remarkably dense, rich texture with an abundance of flowing silk feathers that dominate international show rings. * Deep-Rooted Health Selection: Because the European framework has been regulated far longer than its USA counterpart, combining lines like Bonitos Companeros with premier Russian and Polish pedigree networks offers generations of documented health selections. This includes rigorous, proactive screening for heart health and Syringomyelia (SM), preserving the classic, sweet Cavalier temperament alongside robust vitality Because the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel originated in the UK and was officially recognized by the British Kennel Club in 1945—decades before receiving full American Kennel Club recognition in 1996—its European bloodline is deeply established. This long-standing European heritage directly impacts the breed's physical traits Our primary goal in placing our puppies is to ensure they find homes where their significant needs for companionship and socialization are fully met. This breed thrives in environments where an adult is consistently present throughout the day, such as with individuals who are retired or work remotely, or in homes that can provide dedicated adult supervision for bonding and training. Due to their highly social nature, they are not well-suited for situations where they would be left alone for extended periods on a daily basis. To help us understand your home environment and preferences, please send me your email if the timeline and pricing are acceptable. I will send you our Puppy Application for your review. This document outlines important aspects of our placement process and will be part of our contract agreement if you decide to move forward. Please read it thoroughly and ensure you are comfortable with all the stated terms and conditions before completion. As you embark on your search for a healthy Cavalier puppy, it is imperative to prioritize the well-being of the dog. Cavaliers are susceptible to various health issues, necessitating thorough testing of the parents. Regrettably, many breeders may claim to have conducted tests, but upon requesting documentation, they often fail to provide it. It is crucial to personally inspect the documentation. Conduct your due diligence for this significant investment in a furry companion who will be a member of your family for 12 to 15 years. You should not have to endure heartache, whether it manifests in the early months or the later years of their life. Prioritize the health of your dog above all else. ***Compare reviews, (please check out Google, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media for these ) ***check the length of their health guarantee (our is one of the longest at 3 years), most or six months or a year. ***ensure they conduct health testing (our is excellent as verified on the Good Dog website )on their dogs, with verifiable documentation. You’re off to a great start! I look forward to your response and the opportunity to potentially welcome one of our puppies into your home. Thank you again for your interest. Best regards, Kelli Tammaro please text me if you have further questions 518 -746 -0076 Check out our webpage at stargazercavaliers.com pictures of adults and great information on history of Cavaliers A true passion for excellence

 Our Health Commitment: OFA CHIC Certified Transparency At Stargazer Cavaliers, health and temperament come first. Every breeding dog in our program - including our imported European lines like Bonito's Companeros - is fully health tested and publicly verifiable through OFA. We don't just say we health test. We prove it. All of our breeding dogs have a public OFA page with links to results. What is OFA CHIC? CHIC is the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals' Canine Health Information Center. For Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, a dog earns a CHIC number when they have completed the 3 required core tests AND have their results in the public database, even if not all results are normal. That transparency is the point. Cavalier CHIC Requirements: 1. Cardiac - Advanced Cardiac Exam 2. Patella - Patellar Luxation 3. Eye - ACVO Eye Exam 4. Plus one optional: Hip Dysplasia evaluation (we complete this on all our dogs) 🐕 A CHIC number means no hidden results. The 5 Tests We Do On Every Dog - Explained For Families 1. Cardiac - Heart Health The Test: Advanced Cardiac exam by a board-certified cardiologist, including auscultation. Done annually as recommended by the breed club. Why It Matters for Cavaliers: Mitral Valve Disease (MVD) is the #1 health concern in the breed. We will not breed a dog with an early murmur. Our Standard: Clear cardiac at time of breeding, with annual re-checks posted to OFA. 2. Patella - Knees The Test: Manual examination by a veterinarian to check for Patellar Luxation (slipping kneecaps), submitted to OFA. Why It Matters: A common cause of lameness and pain in small breeds. A dog with luxating patellas should not be bred. Our Standard: OFA Normal / Grade 0. 3. Eye - ACVO Eye Exam The Test: Eye exam by a board-certified ophthalmologist (CAER exam), submitted to OFA. Done annually. Why It Matters: Cavaliers can develop cataracts, retinal dysplasia, and dry eye/curly coat. Our Standard: Clear CAER exam within the past year. 4. Hip - Hip Dysplasia The Test: Hip radiographs submitted to OFA for evaluation. Why It Matters: While not as prevalent as in large breeds, poor hips cause pain and affect quality of life. It is an optional CHIC test, but we believe it's essential for a complete picture, especially for our sturdy European lines. Our Standard: OFA Fair, Good, or Excellent. 5. DNA Panel - CKCSID & Episodic Falling Syndrome The Test: DNA swab through Animal Genetics, Paw Print, or similar OFA-accepted lab. Why It Matters for European Lines: • CKCSID - Dry Eye Curly Coat Syndrome: A painful, serious condition causing dry eye, dermatitis, and curly coat. Carriers are common in European pedigrees. We never breed Carrier x Carrier. • Episodic Falling (EF): A neurological condition causing muscle rigidity and collapse during exercise/excitement. Also seen in imported lines. Our Standard: Every breeding dog is tested. Results are public. We will breed Clear to Carrier only when it improves the breed and protects puppy health - and we will tell you upfront, with no affected puppies ever produced. Why Our European Imports Cost More - And Why It's Worth It You are not just paying for a European pedigree. You are paying for what it takes to do it right: Our imports like Bonito's Companeros lines are selected for exceptional breed type, temperament, and longevity, but they arrive with European health certificates. We then re-test every import to American OFA standards and post those results publicly in the OFA database at our expense. This double-testing, plus cardiac auscultation by a specialist and annual eye/cardiac re-certifications, is a significant investment that many programs skip. Premium pricing allows us to keep our program small, health-focused, and to say "no" to a breeding that isn't in the best interest of the breed. What You Get With Every Stargazer Puppy: • Link to both parents' public OFA pages • Copy of parents' DNA results for CKCSID/EF • Lifetime support and health history in Good Dog • Health guarantee reflecting our testing standards

Looking for a black and tan cavi, I came across Kelli with Stargazer Cavaliers. The second time I looked at her site, I saw that she had a male black and tan puppy newly up for adoption. He was a reserved puppy but his potential owner had to cancel. I read through all the medical histories, reviews and articles on Gooddog.com and quickly made a decision to adopt him. Kelli responded quickly. Oliver would be mine!🥰 Kelli sent pictures and videos to keep me up to date. Finally the day to pick him up came. I drove up to St Augustine from Oviedo, Florida and met up with Kelli right off I95. Kelli made everything easy, we wrapped up the business end and we were off to Oliver’s new home. He is so sweet and loving, follows me everywhere and sleeps on my lap. So very happy I net Kelli and Stargazer Cavaliers!

Kelli was extremely responsive throughout the entire process and made sure we were as prepared as possible before picking up our puppy. We have had the puppy for a few days now and cannot believe how well behaved he is.

After doing plenty of research on a puppy for my in-laws, I was happy to work with Stargazer Cavaliers. Kelli checked all the boxes with her pups. Genetic testing for severe diseases they can carry and puppy wellness exams with her veterinarian. Being a veterinarian myself made me extra picky. My in-laws are very happy with their little Winston. He’s happy and healthy. The sweetest thing ever.
