Meet the breeder

I'm Nancy R., the breeder behind SunRize Cavaliers located in Stuarts Draft, VA. I have some beautiful Cavaliers & I enjoy connecting some lovely dogs with some very lucky people who are wanting to open up their hearts to this wonderful breed. Our dogs live with us in our home as family. My dogs are loving companions & will bring joy to your life. My dogs are AKC USA registered. My goal is to improve the breed. I love to share the joy of owning a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with others. Cavaliers are devoted, loving companions.

Q. & A. with Nancy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I wanted to better the breed! I want them to go for a family loved pets first & foremost; then if you choose to show your dog, that is up to you.

  • What makes your program special?

    I really enjoy spending the quality time with dogs. Even though their are many long hours involved especially in raising a litter of puppies... It's enjoyable watching them grow... We don't have outside kennels. They are crate trained & there is a difference. I also have several snuggled in bed with me every night. The temperament of a Cavalier is nothing but spectacular. I have been involved with Cavaliers for over 20 yrs. I'm definitely hooked. :)

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

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
