Q. & A. with Josh

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My mother has been breeding golden retrievers since about 1986. My two sisters also breed golden retrievers. I was introduced to the cavaliers by my sister and fell in love with the sweetness and companionship of these dogs. I want to spread this love to other families so they can enjoy years of companionship.

  • What makes your program special?

    We absolutely love our dogs, so the puppies are raised in our home with three cats and our other three cavaliers. We socialize them with other dog breeds and plenty of human friends and family. (We always have family and friends over.). We are a small breeder and right now only have one litter per year.

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

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
