Where you decide to select your new puppy makes a world of difference. By purchasing your puppy from an AKC responsible breeder, the protection and welfare of all dogs is advanced. Choose only AKC responsible breeders and breed specific rescues. AKC responsible breeders are committed stewards of their breed. With a Cavalier puppy from us, you  can be assured  that the utmost diligence in careful, ethical breeding practices were followed. Our Cavaliers are home-raised with love, expert socialization, and veterinary care. It is our hope that you will feel as we do: That your new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy will become the greatest dog you have ever had the privilege to befriend.

Adding to your family is  life changing and requires lifelong commitment.  Before buying a puppy from any breeder or breed rescue we recommend that you evaluate your needs and lifestyle. Consider first the 24-7-365 needs of that playful, growing, teething, bundle of energy and boundless unconditional love.  It will be your responsibility to provide a puppy safe environment, to nurture and train your puppy with consistency, provide costly veterinary care- including vaccinations, annual health check ups, spaying or neutering at the recommended age.  

At Carte Blanche Cavaliers, we breed for the opportunity to contribute to improving the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed. We breed for the immense mutual pleasure that these dogs bring in their legendary capacity to form strong human- canine companionship bonds that enhance the lives of dog and dog owner alike.
