Q. & A. with Erika

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up loving animals and dreamed one day of being an animal cop. I went to Purdue University and obtained my Veterinary Technology degree in 2009 as the avenue to achieve my dream career. From college I went to Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control where I was an animal cop for 7.5 years and I loved it. Once we started having kids though it’s hard to do both. I’d always loved purebred dogs as well and was able to pursue my passion for Cavaliers while staying home with my kids.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am a vet tech dedicated to making the Cavalier a healthier breed. I have an animal welfare background so you can trust my dogs are like family and they are treated well. My puppies (young and old 😉) are raised with my kids and many other animals so they are well socialized. Each puppy raised at our house is like a family member and my kids remember the puppies names and which ones were their favorites long after they’ve gone. We want that puppy to have the best life with you and your family and try our best to make that happen!

  • 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.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
