    We had such a wonderful experience with Arleigh!! She was kind, caring, and supportive every step of the way. She answered all of our questions, kept us updated with pictures, and had every official health certificate and document organized and ready for us. She even checked in after we brought our puppy home to make sure everything was going well. Most importantly, she gave us the sweetest, most precious Cavapoo, and we couldn’t be more in love with her. We are so grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and genuinely caring breeder. 💗🐶

    For me, this journey was storybook from start to finish. When you seriously plan a purchase from a breeder, a lot goes into the decision making process. Lots of breeders, lots of pups, lots of choices. I was consistently drawn to Arleigh and her gorgeous kennel of Cavaliers and Cavapoos. I put so much into my decision and Arleigh was there the whole way through answering questions, calming my fears and sharing her knowledge and expertise. She is a natural; a calming force of nature. She showcases her kennel with wit and charm and makes you a part of their world. The drawing force with Unicorn Tears and Cavaliers is the gentle love that it emits. She has a deep caring for her mamas, their litters, and ultimately each pet parent she allows to carry that chosen pup to their forever home. I am grateful to have been aligned with such an outstanding breeder. My storybook ends with a beautiful Cavapoo named Koda Moon who brings joy and smiles to EVERY person she meets. Now that same love carries forward. Never hesitate to create your very own storybook with a happy ending like mine. Thank you Arleigh from the bottom of my heart. (Tonight is a partial eclipse)

    Arleigh was so amazing to work with! You can definitely tell she cares so much about her puppies and loves on them so much.

    I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the very beginning, she was so kind, responsive, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the entire process, which made waiting to bring my little girl home so much more exciting and reassuring. You could truly tell how much love and care she puts into her puppies, and she was always happy to answer my questions and keep me informed. As someone who was incredibly excited to welcome another Cavalier into my family, having a breeder who shared that excitement with me meant so much. My little girl arrived happy, healthy, and absolutely perfect. I’m so grateful I found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a Cavalier and wanting a breeder who truly cares about both their puppies and the families they go to. ❤️

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Arleigh as a breeder. Remy is our fifth dog, and without hesitation, I can honestly say that Arleigh has been the most loving, caring, and dedicated breeder we have ever worked with. From the very beginning, Arleigh was exceptional at communicating — always responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested. She shared frequent updates, photos, and videos, provided helpful puppy-care guidance, and consistently went out of her way to make sure we felt informed and comfortable at every step of the process. What truly sets Arleigh apart is her deep love for her dogs. Her puppies are raised in her home, surrounded by constant affection and attention. Her sweet children are involved in their care, resulting in puppies who are well-socialized, confident, and acclimated to normal household life. They are exposed to everyday sounds and activities, and it truly shows. We are still in awe of how well-adjusted, calm, and adaptable Remy is. The love and care she received from day one is so evident in her temperament. If you are looking for a breeder who treats their dogs like family and raises puppies with intention, integrity, and so much heart, I could not recommend Arleigh more highly. I would get another puppy from her in a heartbeat and feel incredibly grateful to have found her.

    Such an amazing experience! Arleigh truly cares for her puppies and goes above and beyond to make sure they are healthy, happy, and loved. From the very beginning, she was so caring, responsive, and thorough in making sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. She kept me updated with photos, videos, and detailed information about my puppy’s health, personality, and routine. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a healthy, happy, and well loved puppy!
