I'm Shannon T., the breeder behind Wasatch Cavaliers located in Sandy, UT. I have an excellent Cavalier King Charles Spaniel stud which I supply to other responsible breeders to produce outstanding pups! He is clear for any bad Cavalier variants and has completed all recommended OFA testing. We also have had a semen analysis completed to ensure healthy breeding. We look forward to connecting with you.
Q. & A. with Shannon
Why did you start breeding?
As soon as we got our first Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, we just knew that we wanted to responsibly preserve the breed. These dogs have proven to be wonderful companions in our lives, and it is a privilege to share that love and friendship with others.
What makes your program special?
Our stud dog is an excellent representation of the breed. We enjoy supplying him to other responsible breeders to produce excellent puppies, maintain superior standards, and improve the King Charles Spaniel line overall. He is fully healthy and extremely loved! In our stud program, beauty is a given, but producing healthy, loving, and versatile puppies is our true goal.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blenheim. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Prior to bringing Elsa home, we had so many pictures and chats with Shannon about her that we felt we knew her before she even arrived. Since that time, Elsa has brought joy and smiles and laughter to our house with her antics. At three months, she sleeps through the night, never having an accident in her little kennel. She is almost totally house trained, and is full of bounce and energy. This entire experience has been outstanding. If you are interested in an adorable little companion, Wasatch Cavalier has the perfect little puppy for you!
