We also health test our adult Cavaliers and have been OFA certified for Hearts and Patellas.

Q. & A. with Jonathan & Karen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love for the Cavalier King Charles breed started in 2002 at age 17 while watching a Animal Planet documentary. I didn't get the pleasure of adding one to my family until 2010. That sweet girl was our Daisy dog. A year later in 2011 we added our handsome boy Kingston. Daisy and Kingston had 3 beautiful litters. A total of 14 puppies, that I had the pleasure in hand raising and getting all the puppy snuggles. I was able to stay in contact with a bunch of our past puppies and loved receiving pictures and updates as the years went on. Daisy and Kingston lived underfoot with me and my 2 children at the time, retired here and both passed away in my arms years later. During their years of retirement, I focused on growing my family and took a break from breeding.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our Cavaliers are family. They are AKC registered, and they all have OFA certifications for Hearts and some even for Patella's. Full genetics done which include Cc/De/Esf and Dm. I bred cavaliers 13 years ago and took time off to grow my family. We are not a kennel, and only will have one to two litters a year. We are excited to find you your next life long best friend.

  • 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.

    Karen is a great surrogate puppy mom. She responsible breeds her bitch. My little girl was well taken care of. We were kept up to date about Mia's progress with text messages and photos. We waited until Mia was 12 weeks old to pick her up. Karen working with her for the extra 4 weeks has made our job easier. Transition was smooth, we worked out a pickup place and time that worked for both of us. She provided us with a few extras to help the puppy and make our work easier. Highly recommended, 5 ⭐️

    My experience with Jonathan and Karen was truly a breeze. I was looking for the perfect companion and I couldn’t be happier. I was provided with weekly update photos and they stayed active on TikTok as well so I could see more of my puppy! They answered any questions I had and made the entire process so easy and stress free! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a reputable breeder.

    Karen was a good communicator and since we are first time puppy parents , it helped a lot. She was always available and sent us regularly adorable photos of our puppy throughout his time with his litter mates & mama. She and Jonathan have a well-run process and we couldn’t be happier with our puppy! He is playful, healthy, handles being apart from us well so far, and is such a perfect addition to our family! You will be in good hands with Stonecoal Cavaliers.
