If you would like to see 3 lovely little books featuring the antics of 2 little cavaliers then go to this site:-
Alfie was bred by us and Archie was bred by our good friend Cherrill Deans of Clockpelters Cavaliers
Please go and look at the new website set up by dedicated Cavalier enthusiasts both in the UK and Europe who have spent their time putting together a rational view of the health of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel following the one-sided, biased message sent out onto our TV screens about our sweet, lovable and unique breed.
Below we list some suggestions for requirements that you should consider asking for when enquiring about a new puppy to join your family. We hope that you look for a breeder that will be able to offer you most of the items. Remember your puppy is a life time commitment and hopefully you won't get a life time of vets' bills if your puppy's breeder follows some of the procedures below:-
1. Kennel Club registration or the written promise of such
2. Litter screen by Canine Ophthalmologist for the eyes
3. Vet health checked and at least the 1st initial vaccination
4. Micro-chipped and/or tattooed
5. Mother – heart certificated – clear no matter what her age
6. Father – heart certificated clear to at least 5 years of age, thereafter a mild murmur permitted dependant on age
7. Mother – eye certificated (clear)
8. Father – eye certificated (clear)
9. Kennel Club Accredited Breeder
10.Sample of breeding dogs MRI scanned and preferably ‘A’ scored; minimum of ‘D’ score
11.Member of at least one UK mainland CKCS breed clubs
12.Puppies of 12 weeks or more will have had 2nd vaccination and some lead training and be on the way to being house trained
13.Do ask the breeder if you can see all the relevant health certificates
