What makes your program special?
I strive to breed to the AKC standard and to improve the breed through testing and conformation. My dogs that are the foundation to my program have been selected for genetics and conformation which increases the chances for you to have a classic cavalier in appearance and a long term healthy cavalier.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blenheim, 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.

A beautiful coat that is easy to maintain as well. She is near and dear to our heart as her bloodline goes back to our cornerstone foundation female that helped build the show side of our program. I can't wait to see the quality of puppies she produces. She is a beautiful cavalier backed by a great pedigree and classic loving personality.

She herself is out of Champion MC Laren Dobry Rok (Victor) and her bottom side is boasts a really nice pedigree of hungarian lineage. Traveler is a 2nd generation to us. Her mom is Addy who has an AKC conformation point but was not finished due to having babies before she was to old. Traveler was born with us in Florida which is how she got her name and ironically her first litter is in Florida. (We are fortunate to be snowbirds).

We had a wonderful experience working with Kristen. She explained everything perfectly answered all of our questions and was very prompt when getting back to me. She really loves her puppies and takes great care of them. She makes us feel like family. My puppy came home more confident than I have ever seen a puppy. He’s was almost already potty trained! He’s very happy and very friendly. He’s a well adjusted little boy. All thanks to how Kristen took care of him and loved him before he came to his forever home. Thank you!

Kristen is extremely knowledgeable about the breed and clearly takes great care of her dogs and the puppies. Kristen was very responsive, answering our questions quickly and being accommodating of our requests. The pick-up went smoothly and our puppy has settled in beautifully with us.
We truly couldn't be happier with our puppy! He is intelligent, eager to please, very trainable, and a great mix between playful and cuddly. He is also so darn sweet and cute! When we picked up our puppy, he was already nearly fully potty-trained and took to his crate immediately. In the six weeks that he's been with us, he has learned over a dozen tricks.
We are so thankful to Kristen for the hard work and thoughtfulness that she's put into her program. Our experience with our puppy has blown all of our expectations out of the water. Kristen really went above and behind to prepare her puppies for their homes to facilitate a smooth transition, and we appreciate all of her efforts!

What a great experience! Kristen was amazing throughout the process and answered questions in a very timely manner. She also sent pictures and video updates without us asking, which I loved! We were able to pick up our puppy in person and she gave us a tour of her home, introduced us to her other pups, where her love for Cavaliers was apparent. Kristin has awesome knowledge and protection for the breed, and I will definitely come back to Whispering Meadows when the time is right to get Stewie a playmate. Thanks again for all of your help with this sweet, smart, and playful little dude. We love him so much!

I picked up Milo in June, and he is a GREAT puppy. He is well-socialized, loves to play, and is in perfect health. He was exactly what our family needed. Kristen did a fantastic job raising him for the first 7.5 weeks of his life. Awesome breeder! So happy we found her at the right time!
