Ethical & Responsible Breeding
If you're looking for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy in Queensland or Australia, choosing an ethical and responsible Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breeder is one of the most important decisions you'll make.
Responsible breeders undertake comprehensive DNA testing and health testing for inherited conditions such as Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease (MMVD), Syringomyelia (SM), Chiari-like Malformation (CM), Episodic Falling Syndrome (EFS) and other breed-specific disorders, while carefully selecting breeding dogs for health, temperament and genetic diversity.
Every puppy purchased from a health-tested, responsibly bred litter supports breeders who are working to improve the long-term health and welfare of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Conversely, purchasing puppies from irresponsible or illegal breeders increases demand for dogs bred without appropriate health testing or careful breeding practices, perpetuating inherited disease and undermining efforts to preserve a healthy, genetically sustainable future for this much-loved breed. By choosing wisely, you're investing not only in the health of your own puppy but also in the future of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
If in doubt, we can help. Contact our Puppy Co-ordinator.
The Ultimate Guide to Buying a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Our Guide to Buying a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel explains what to look for when choosing a responsible breeder, the health testing you should ask about, important questions to ask before buying a Cavalier puppy, and how to recognise responsible breeding practices.
Read the guide before you buy your Cavalier and make an informed decision that will help give your new companion the best possible start in life.
