About / Why choose us

A small program built on morals, ethics, and integrity

Enchanting Cavaliers is a home-based breeder devoted exclusively to Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. We place a limited number of puppies each year, and we stay in our families' lives long after the drive home.

Our story

What began with a single beloved Cavalier grew, carefully and slowly, into a small breeding program devoted to preserving the breed's calm, affectionate temperament. We typically keep four to six breeding females and up to four stud dogs, with selective pairings that can produce puppies in all four Cavalier colors.

The rest of the Cavaliers who share our home are young dogs chosen for our program or retirees enjoying a well-earned rest. Every one of them lives inside with us, and every litter is raised in the middle of family life.

Why choose us

01

Mission Statement

Our core values are Morals, Ethics, and Integrity. We operate with complete transparency, and there are never any surprises in the placement process.

Every conversation, health record, and price is shared openly from the first inquiry through the day your puppy comes home. You will always know exactly where you stand, what comes next, and why we make the decisions we make.

02

Home Versus Kennel

We raise our puppies in the home with adult dogs, not in an impersonal kennel. Our puppies are socialized around people and other animals early on.

Puppies grow up underfoot in a busy family home — household sounds, visitors, children, and a pack of gentle adult Cavaliers who help teach them manners. That early socialization is why our puppies settle so easily into new homes.

03

Small, Trusted Breeder — Not a Puppy Mill

We are a small-scale, highly reputable breeder who puts great care into raising puppies and into choosing the families they are placed with.

Enchanting Cavaliers is selective and operates with integrity, not volume of puppy sales. We plan a limited number of litters each year so every puppy and every family receives our full attention.

04

Return Policy for Life Events

If an owner can no longer care for their dog due to moving, illness, or death, we will always take the dog back and find it a new, loving home.

Life changes, and no Enchanting Cavalier should ever end up in a shelter. Our door stays open for the whole life of the dog, and we personally rehome returning dogs with another carefully qualified family.

05

Breed Exclusivity — Cavaliers Only

We exclusively breed Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, which allows us to maintain strong bloodlines and uphold AKC purebred standards.

Focusing on one breed also protects the calm, loving, and mellow temperament Cavaliers are known for. We know these lines intimately — their health history, their structure, and their personalities.

06

Focus on Long-Term Relationships

We are not just selling puppies — we are building long-term relationships among our Cavalier client families.

Our business thrives on referrals and returning clients thanks to the quality of care, transparency, and professionalism we bring to placement. We are proud to have placed the first, second, and third Cavalier puppy in a client's home over the years.

07

Breeder of Choice

We typically keep four to six breeding females and up to four male stud dogs, with selective mating that can produce puppies in all four breed colors.

The remaining Cavaliers living with us are puppies selected to join our breeding program or dogs enjoying retirement. On occasion we match a retiree with a qualified and deserving client so the two can share each other's company.

08

Affiliations

We actively promote responsible breeding and nutrition, mentoring new breeders as they adopt this model.

Our proven, tested male Cavaliers have fathered litters with other local breeders as those breeders walk through the methodology practiced here at Enchanting Cavaliers.

09

Commitment

We love our puppies as much as we love our own children. If you are ever unable to keep your Cavalier, we welcome them back into our home.

All Enchanting Cavaliers puppies are born and raised in the home from day one — never in a kennel setting — and that commitment does not end the day they leave for their new family.
