That’s why we’ve created our Guardianship Program, a unique opportunity for families to welcome one of our exceptional Cavalier King Charles Spaniels into their home at a reduced cost. In return, these families partner with us in the continued health and development of our breeding program.

Common Questions About Guardianship
What is a Guardian Home?
A guardian home is a special arrangement where one of our Cavaliers lives full-time with a loving family, but remains a part of our breeding program. This allows our dogs to grow up in a family environment while contributing to the health, temperament, and pedigree of future generations. Guardian families enjoy all the benefits of owning a beautiful Cavalier while helping us responsibly expand our program.
