Breeding dogs is more a ‘way of life’ for us, particularly with Maggie having come from a family of dog breeders, and having bred Dalmations in early adulthood, then Arab Horses during her ‘horsey’ phase. The need for research, obtaining true to type and healthy lines was impressed on Maggie early in life. Couple that with an approach of ‘if you’re going to do something, then do it well’, leads to a desire that every dog and puppy is a happy, healthy true to type individual that knows it is utterly loved.
We believe we have a responsibility to the breeds and to the puppies we breed and introduce into new homes. We breed, not only to show, but also to allow families to have the opportunity to purchase a well-bred, happy, healthy and well socialised puppy who will literally become a new member of the family. Our aim is to breed true to the breed standard, and we take great care to ensure that both parents and puppies are free of inherant problems and are of good quality with good conformation, looks and disposition.
We take a great deal of care to get to know prospective puppy purchasers and to ensure that the puppy they introduce into their home as best as possible suits their environment and the personalities of all members of the household. Many of our families stay in touch with updates from time to time. This is something we cherish as it confirms that our puppies are well-loved and well-cared for, plus we have the opportunity to see how they mature.
Our puppies are well handled and socialised prior to relocating to their new homes. Every effort is made to ensure a happy introduction to their new family and environment. While Cavaliers are a wonderfully adaptive breed, a little help in finding the right environment in the first instance does not go astray.
We want you, and the puppy, to be very happy with your choice, and we certainly do not believe that our responsibility ends with the delivery of the puppy.
Or, more aptly put in a poem we were sent, mostly likely by another breeder ……
