At Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Home, our priority is to ensure that each of our beloved puppies finds a loving, safe, and permanent home. We are committed to responsible breeding and placing our Cavaliers with families who understand and are prepared for the commitment of dog ownership.
Our Process:
- Initial Inquiry: Please start by filling out our Puppy Application Form. This helps us understand your living situation, experience with dogs, and what you’re looking for in a companion.
- Review and Communication: Once we receive your application, we will review it carefully. We may contact you for a phone interview or to answer any initial questions you might have about our puppies or the breed. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other better and ensure a good match.
- Deposit (Optional/When Litters are Available): If a suitable puppy is available or a litter is expected, we may request a non-refundable deposit to reserve your puppy. This deposit goes towards the final purchase price. Please note that placements are often determined by the order deposits are received and suitability.
- Puppy Selection: Puppy selection typically begins around 6-7 weeks of age. We provide regular “pupdates” with photos and videos as the puppies grow. We are happy to guide you in choosing a puppy whose temperament aligns with your lifestyle.
- Preparation for Homecoming: We will provide you with detailed information on how to prepare for your new puppy, including recommendations for food, toys, grooming, and initial training tips. We are always available to answer your questions during this exciting time.
- Pickup/Delivery: Puppies are ready to go to their new homes typically between 8 and 10 weeks of age, after receiving their first vaccinations and a thorough vet check. We prefer local pickup whenever possible so you can meet us and see where your puppy was raised. Alternative arrangements can be discussed if necessary.
Our Commitment to You:
- Health Guarantee: All our puppies come with a comprehensive health guarantee against genetic defects. Details will be provided in our Adoption Contract.
- Veterinary Care: Each puppy receives their first set of vaccinations, deworming, and a full veterinary examination before leaving our home.
- Support: We are here for you! We offer lifetime support and guidance for our puppies and their new families. We love staying in touch and seeing our puppies thrive.
- Registered Parents: Our parent dogs are health-tested and registered with appropriate kennel clubs, ensuring excellent lineage and breed standards.
Adopter Responsibilities:
- Lifelong Commitment: We expect our puppies to be cherished family members for their entire lives.
- Veterinary Care: You commit to providing ongoing veterinary care, including vaccinations, regular check-ups, and emergency care when needed.
- Nutrition and Exercise: Providing a high-quality diet and appropriate exercise for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

- Safe Environment: Providing a secure and loving home environment.
