Our Story

Rooted in East Texas, driven by love for the breed

We are a small, family-operated kennel nestled along the shores of Toledo Bend Lake — one of the most beautiful corners of Texas. We have dedicated over 4 wonderful years to raising Cavalier King Charles Spaniels that are as healthy as they are sweet-natured.

Every litter is whelped and raised inside our home, surrounded by children, other animals, and the everyday sounds of family life. Our puppies leave us fully socialised, confident, and ready to bond with their new families.

The First Eight Weeks

From our living room to yours

Nothing about a well-started puppy is accidental. This is the same eight weeks every Toledo Bend litter walks through, in order.

  1. Week 1

    Born in Our Living Room

    Whelped beside us, never in a kennel. The first week is warmth, weight checks every morning and almost nothing else.

  2. Week 3

    Eyes Open, World Opens

    Wobbling onto their feet and meeting texture, sound and handling for the first time — gently, and a little every day.

  3. Week 5

    Household Socialisation

    Vacuums, doorbells, children, the television, the vet-visit routine. Confidence is built here or not at all.

  4. Week 6

    Veterinary Clearance

    A full examination, first vaccinations and deworming, with the vet's written record going home in your folder.

  5. Week 7

    Matched to Your Family

    We pair temperament to household rather than first come, first served — the quiet one to the quiet home.

  6. Week 8

    Going Home

    A head start on crate and potty training, a folder of records, and a breeder you can call for the rest of their life.

The Breed

Why a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel?

Centuries of careful breeding produced one of the most adaptable and affectionate companion dogs in the world.

Exceptionally Affectionate

Cavaliers live to be with their people. They thrive on human connection and rarely know a stranger.

Perfect for Any Home

Equally happy in a city apartment or a sprawling ranch — they adapt beautifully to their environment.

Wonderful with Families

Gentle with children and respectful with seniors. Cavaliers are famously easy-going with everyone they meet.

Moderate Exercise

A daily walk and some play keeps them happy. Athletes when you want them to be, couch dogs the rest of the time.

Five Questions

Which Cavalier would suit your home?

The boldest puppy in a litter and the quietest want quite different families. Answer five short questions and we will describe the temperament we would look for on your behalf.
