Thank you for doing your research and understanding the importance and necessity of it when looking for the right breeder/puppy.  We have some guidelines on our site about what to look for, as well as what to look out for, when purchasing a puppy.  Our club feels that this is very important information for potential puppy buyers.  Please refer to:

Puppies

There are many fine, positive attributes of the Cavalier but it does have some health issues that you should familiarize yourself with.  Cavaliers are very gentle, extremely needy dogs.  They require significantly more attention than most other dogs.  They do not do well if left alone for long periods of time.   These sites are a good source for general information and health issues:

Our breed has become quite popular and there are many disreputable people selling Cavaliers and/or likewise have slick, good looking websites who want to do nothing more than to take your money for a Cavalier with no regard for the betterment of our breed. 

PLEASE do not buy your puppy off the internet, from a backyard breeder or broker, newspaper classified ad, at a pet shop, or through any type of advertisement.  Never have a puppy shipped without you accompanying it (most reputable breeders would not allow this).    What you might save in purchase price, you'll likely pay many times over in vet bills or in training an unsocialized dog. 

 Your Cavalier will become a cherished member of your family for many years to come.  Needing, wanting or having to have a Cavalier right now is not the right way to go about adding to your family.  Demand for Cavaliers far out strips supply.  It takes time and patience.  PLEASE work with a reputable breeder.  How do you find out if a breeder is reputable?  Ask for their club affiliations (don’t be taken by fake registries) and if they follow a Code of Ethics.  Ask to see documentation.  Verify with the organizations they claim to be a member of.

 Another option when looking for a puppy and a way to meet lovers of our wonderful breed is to attend one of our meetings.  Our club is comprised of people who show their dogs, breeders and those who have Cavaliers as their dear pets.  Please see the events page on our website.  Visitors are welcome and encouraged.  Lastly, attending a dog show is a good idea when looking for a puppy.

While each breeder below has pledged to follow our Club's guidelines and ethics, the Club is not responsible for any actions of its member-breeders.  With that in mind, here are a few names for you:

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck with your search!
