A little younger pack in our backyard.

Jerry grew up in Florida, Jina north of Seattle, but we met and married in Portland. He – a Contractor/Property Manager turned R.N. and I a Business Exec. turned Homeschool Mama. Soon thereafter, we found our “Eden” 30 miles north – 20 acres on the Kalama River.

We raised our six children on our hobby farm: milking goats, chickens, a few cows, cats and several types of dogs. Around 2013 we had our first experience with the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and we fell in absolute adoration.

Researching and learning the ins and outs of the breed as well as Breeding, we felt that we could do this breed and the breeding community a good service. I began to visit with the various Kennel Clubs and Shows, asking many, many questions, participating with online breeding conversations and started test, test, testing my dogs to see if they would be benefiting their offspring.

Unfortunately, the first two and then their offspring was not up to the breeding par, therefore I began to search and interview, looking for THE FUR babies I was dreaming about. Slowly…I started over. We begin with the DNA testing and then, when the dogs approach two, we begin the OFA (Health) Certifications. As they test (perfectly), then we can consider the dogs as “breeders”.

We have had five litters in the first five years. Today we are still raising a few litters (sometimes at a time) and living and loving it!! We raise the dogs and puppies around us in our home where they will be handled many times during the day, exposed to the sounds and begin the training that will get them off on the right foot for their adoptive families.

BREED INFO: The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small breed of Spaniel-type dog, and is classed as a Toy dog by most Kennel Clubs. It is one of the most popular breeds in the world (AKC puts it at 19th most desired dog). It is a smaller breed of Spaniel.

It has a silky coat and undocked tail. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a breed that exhibits a rare blend of traits resulting in the ideal small companion dog. They are exceptionally kind-hearted, intelligent, and eager to please. They are well-behaved, affectionate, and gentle. They are very good with children and are friendly towards everyone including strangers. They do not bark often. They do not show the nervous or demanding traits of some small dog breeds. They do not require a spacious environment. They love a good run outdoors but quiet down quickly inside – preferably on your lap or the foot of your bed, where they would love to be with me…if I would just slow down long enough.
