Q. & A. with Taylor
Why did you start breeding?
I have wanted a Cavalier since I was a little girl and I had the opportunity to raise my first Cavaliers three years.
What makes your program special?
My dogs are part of my family and we strive to produce healthy dogs that conform to the breed standard. We have even ventured into showing on our available weekends.
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.

Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
