ABOUT US AND WHAT WE DO
MY NAME IS LAURA AND MY HUSBAND IS JOHN. WE
ARE A MIDDLE CLASS CHRISTIAN FAMILY THAT
LIVES IN IOWA ON A SMALL ACREAGE. I WORK
PART TIME AS A REGISTERED NURSE. JOHN WORKS
CONTRUCTION WITH HIS OWN BUSINESS. WE HAVE
THREE WONDERFUL CHILDREN. ADAM IS 20,
ANDREA IS 13,AND TOMMY IS 7. WE SPECIALIZE IN
THE CAREFUL HEALTHY BREEDING OF THE
BEAUTIFUL CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIELS,
AND THE CAVACHON, OUR BREEDING STOCK
CONSIST OF 7 CAVALIERS, 2 BICHON FRISE AND 3
YORKIE RESCUES. THEY ARE ALSO CONSIDERED
OUR CHILDREN. WE BREED OUR FEMALES AT 2
YEARS OF AGE. EACH ADULT IS EXAMINED YEARLY
AND MOST AGAIN PRIOR TO EACH BREEDING. THUS
FAR, THROUGH SELECTIVE BREEDING AND
CAREFUL PRACTICES WE ARE PRODUCING SOME
AMAZING PUPPIES. OUR CAVACHONS ARE OF GREAT
QUALITY AND OUR CAVALIERS ARE BECOMING
GORGEOUS HEALTHY ADULTS WITH GREAT
GENETICS.
HOW WE DO THINGS. WE HAVE AN OUTSIDE
KENNEL THAT IS WELL MAINTAINED. WHEN OUR
ADULT IS 2 WEEKS AWAY FROM WHELPING THEY
ARE BROUGHT INTO OUR HOME. BOTH MOM AND
BABIES STAY IN OUR HOME UNTIL PUPPIES ARE
WEANED. DURING THEIR TIME WITH US THE
PUPPIES ARE ON AN EXTENSIVE IMMUNIZATION
SCHEDULE. WE BEGIN BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION
WHEN NEEDED AND THE HOUSE TRAINING PROCESS
IS STARTED AROUND 5 WEEKS. FOR THIS TRAINING
WE USE THE OUTDOORS ( IF WEATHER PERMITTS)
OR WE USE THE PAPER TRAINING METHOD. SOON
WE ARE GOING TO START LITTER TRAINING. BUT
PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS YOU THAT MUST FINISH
THE HOUSE TRAINING PROCESS.
PUPPIES ARE EXAMINED THOROUGHLY BY A
VETERINARIAN AT 2 WEEKS OF AGE, THEN AGAIN
AT THE TIME OF SALE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO US
THAT YOU RECEIVE A HEALTHY HAPPY PUPPY.
PUPPIES ARE PLACED WITH THEIR NEW OWNERS
WHEN THEY DISPLAY INDEPENDENCE WITHOUT
ANXIETY AND THEY ARE EATING AND DRINKING
WELL ON THEIR OWN. EACH BREED AND EACH
PUPPY IS UNIQUE. THEREFORE, THE AGE WE LET
THEM GO VARIES FROM PUPPY TO PUPPY. A TARGET
DATE WE USE IS 8 WEEKS OLD.
WE BEGIN WITH A PARASITE PROGRAM AT 2 WEEKS
OF AGE. THIS IS CARRIED OUT EVERY 2 WEEKS
UNTIL THEY ARE READY FOR THEIR NEW HOMES.
INTRANASAL BORDATELLA AND NEOPAR (KENNEL
COUGH VACCINE AND A HIGH TITRE PARVO
VACCINE) ARE GIVEN IN ADDITION TO A 6 WEEK
VACCINE OF DA2PV. THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM TO
GET YOUR PUPPY OFF TO A HEALTHY START.
WE ARE EXPERIENCED IN SHIPPING. WE HAVE
PERSONALLY FLOWN WITH OUR BABIES AND THEY
DO WONDERFUL. SHIPPING COST RUN AN
ADDITIONAL $250. THE BABIES ARE FLOWN IN THE
CARGO AREA IN A TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED
ENVIROMENT.
ALL CARES ARE UNDER THE DIRECT SUPERVISION
OF OUR VETERINARIANS.
WE ARE USDA LISCENSED AND STATE CERTIFIED.
WE ARE CURRENT MEMBERS OF APR, AKC, IOWA
PET BREEDERS ASSOCIATION, AND ATTEND
CONTINUING EDUCATION ON PROFESSIONAL PET
BREEDING.

HOW SENDING A
DEPOSIT WORKS.
DEPOSIT WORKS.
WE STRIVE TO IMPROVE THE CAVACHON BREED.
BY ONLY RAISING THE ONE BREED WE ARE BETTER
ABLE TO COME CLOSER TO PERFECTION WHEN IT
COMES TO THE CAVACHON. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES DO WE BREED UNHEALTHY OR
EMOTIONAL IMPERFECT ADULTS. WE ARE VERY
PARTICULAR IN HEALTH AND TEMPERMENT WHEN
WE COME TO THE DECISION OF ADDING A
CAVALIER OR BICHON INTO OUR BREEDING
PROGRAM. MOST CAVALIERS ARE FROM OUR OWN
LINES THAT WE HAVE BEEN BREEDING FOR OVER 10
YEARS.
