My name is Peggy Dixon, my family and I have been breeding since 1988. My family and I are dedicating our love to the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to help in bettering the breed. I understand why King Charles loved them so much. My Husband, children and grandson enjoy helping in socialization, feeding and taking care of our Cavaliers. My mother and sister also enjoy spending quality time socializing the puppies. I believe that the Cavalier has the best temperament in all of the canine families.

We are meticulous when it comes to the care giving and maintaining a healthy clean place for our puppies in a home environment. We train each puppy to use a doggy door; we believe that this gives the puppies a good start on potty training. We maintain a healthy, clean environment raising our puppies at our home. Potential puppy buyers are welcome to visit our kennel and home at anytime.

Four colour variations are found in the breed. See Cavalier Picture Gallery for pictures of coat colors.

1. Blenheim is a pearly white background with bright-red-chestnut markings, also a chestnut-red spot on top of the head between the ears is preferred by breeders, but not critical.

3. Ruby is a whole-colored rich red.

A sound dog, in both body and temperament should be more important
than simply the colour or coat of the dog.

Before breeding our dogs we screen them for potential health problems. As with most breeds, we have our vet checks for eyes, knees, hips and heart.  Our breeding dogs get a complete physical.

To better the breed we recommend that you do not breed before the age of 2 and you should have your breeders checked out to insure their health before breeding.

We believe that by performing these necessary checks, that you will receive a happy, healthy puppy.

In our Cavalier Picture Gallery we have pictures of our breeding dogs.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Origin
This was once the favorite breed of King Charles II of England. The small sporting breed was 1st named the King Charles Spaniel. Later oriental breeds came into fashion and breeders started crossbreeding the spaniels. Developed from a cross between the King Charles and a Cocker Spaniel, the Cavalier differs greatly from its forebears.  Breeders were trying to reproduce a toy dog similar to those seen in portraits from the time of England's Charles II, who was said to dote on these small dogs.  In the 1926 the American, Roswell Eldridge, offered monetary prizes during a Cruft's Dog Show in London, to any person exhibiting King Charles Spaniels with long noses.  He was looking for dogs similar to those appearing in Van Dyck's paintings of King Charles II and his spaniels.  British breeders rose to the occasion and by 1945 they recreated the breed. These dogs were classified as a separate breed and were given the prefix Cavalier, to differentiate them from their forebears. To avoid confusion with the now-snub-nosed King Charles Spaniels, the breed was named the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel since Charles was known as the Cavalier King. The first Cavaliers were sent to America in 1952 by Lady Forwood as a gift. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was shown in the Toy Group of the AKC beginning in 1996.

2. The tri-colour has jet-black markings on a white background with tan markings over the eyes, on the cheeks, inside the ears, legs and under the tail.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Grooming:
Comb or brush with a firm bristle brush, and bathe or dry shampoo as necessary. The feathered hair on the ears is prone to tangling and matting, so this dog should be thoroughly groomed often. The hair between the pads on the feet should be kept trimmed and the ears should be cleaned regularly. Always make sure the dog is thoroughly dry and warm after a bath. Check the eyes carefully for any signs of infection. This breed is an average shedder.  in dog shows no trimming is permitted or needed.

They have an outgoing, sporting and fearless nature. These lively little dogs want to please. The breed was known as the "Comforter" or the "Spaniel Gentle" in the early days of history. The Cavaliers are intelligent enough to understand what you want and therefore are usually easy to train and respond well to gentle obedience training. They are said to be naturally well behaved and get along well with other dogs and non-canine pets. Cavalier's love people and need lots of companionship to be happy. They should not be left alone all day. They are descended from hunting dogs and love to romp in the great outdoors. This breed sometimes displays a chasing instinct and should be kept well enclosed or leashed so he does not get lost or run in front of a car. They do best with older considerate children and some can be reserved with strangers. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a pleasant companion dog. It has a noteworthy sense of smell and vision and can be used in short hunts in open country. They do well in competitive obedience. Again, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel interacts well with children.
