We are all about quality not quantity! There are plenty of breeders out there that raise their cavaliers in crates and kennels. The mothers of their puppies spend their days locked up in what I like to refer to as "jail". They live out their days behind bars, give birth to their babies behind bars, and when they can no longer produce more off spring they are sold like property. Purchasing puppies from such places is not saving these poor babies from a life of misery, rather; it is promoting and funding these cruel empires.
Our cavaliers are part of the family first and foremost. Like our own children they are allowed to run freely throughout our house. They have their own toys, their own couch (this doesn't stop them from taking over ours!), their own beds, and more. We only feed them the best organic foods on the market. Yes it's expensive, but we firmly believe that you get what you pay for. Our cavaliers have the softest coats around (they feel like cashmere) and are not plagued by the dandruff and dry skin that is common amongst this breed. We always keep our shots up to date, have had our cavaliers closely examined for eye and heart problems (MVD), and treat them monthly with heart guard plus and frontline plus.
My husband and I have decided to breed our cavaliers because we love the breed and we want others to be able to enjoy them as well. One couldn't ask for a better companion. Cavaliers were breed by the Queen of England as lap dogs. Their sole purpose was to sit on her lap and keep her warm. My friend's daughter was attacked by a dog when she was little and to this day she has been deathly afraid of dogs. My cavaliers are so loving and gentle that she was not afraid of them at all. Our princesses are great with children, around other animals, and love people. Like I said...you get what you pay for.
