Choosing the right puppy & Champion Lines

Our KilbridesPride puppies come from healthy, Champion lines. Each male and female in our home has seen the show ring and has been ‘finished’ with a minimum of a Champion status. Many of our girls and boys have also achieved the highly sought after Grand Champion status. 

Breeding Considerations

Breeding Cavalier King Charles Spaniels requires careful consideration of each potential parent dog. As we look at the male and female being considered, the thought process of KilbridesPride centers upon the characteristics that are needed to improve the Cavalier breed. No dog is perfect in every way.


We breed keeping the ‘Cavalier standard’ in our mind at all times. KilbridePride's emphasis is upon health, temperament and conformation. We understand that a dog’s show career will last only a few years. After the show career is completed, the dogs transition to their lives as parents, passing their physical attributes and sound temperaments on to their puppies.


Our puppies are raised in our home, around our family - our children and grandchildren. We jokingly refer to their first ‘bedroom’ in our home as the Princess Suite which is actually our master bathroom.  We love on them each and every day, stimulating them and exposing them to the sounds, textures, smells of different environments. As the babies become older and more active, they PLAY running through tunnels and racing around  on ‘puppy playground’ equipment to develop their motor skills and coordination.


It is our goal to introduce the puppies to 100 things before they leave for their new homes at 12 to 16 weeks of age.

Potty Training

Regarding potty training, we first paper train our puppies. As they grow older, the puppies go potty outside just like the ‘big kids’ do.


By the time the puppies go to their ‘forever’ homes, they will have had their nails done and will have been bathed on a regular basis. They will have been wormed and will be ‘up to date’ on their vaccinations.


All puppies will have ridden in a car and are familiar with sleeping in a crate.

Health Exams

All puppies will have a health examination done by my veterinarian. Individual records are kept for each puppy. Health records are transferred to the puppy’s ‘forever family’ when adopted. 

Registrations

At KilbridesPride Cavaliers, our puppies are registered with the AKC National Cavalier Club.  

Count on Us for Support

If you choose us at KilbridesPride Cavaliers, we would be happy to mentor you, inform you of products, help you with training, and offer you support as you share your life with one of our Cavalier puppies. We view puppy adoption as the beginning of a relationship with new friends and family.

Forever Home Placements

We try our best to give each puppy a sound foundation as they start their lives. We match the temperament of our puppy with the lifestyle and needs of his/her forever home. We believe that if you are consistent in training for the puppy’s first year, you will have a dog that you will enjoy living with.
