We are a small boutique breeder of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies in Phoenix, Arizona. As responsible breeders, our goal is to raise healthy Cavalier puppies, who are well socialized and perfectly fit the AKC breed standard. We carefully match parents and only breed the healthiest dogs with loving temperaments.

Each year we raise only a handful of new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies. We consider every one to be a part of our family. From the moment they’re born, we watch over, fuss, and socialize each and every puppy. When they are ready at about 8 to 10 weeks, they’ll become a part of another family, extending our family and joy. We also rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniels for free. We actively support rescue shelters and a portion of the sale of every puppy goes to supporting local Arizona rescue shelters.

Phoenix Cavaliers provides lifetime support to any of our adoptive families. If you ever have a question or concern, simply contact us as we are always happy to help. We have cared for dogs for over 50 years and can provide the answers and resources you may need.

If circumstances change and you become unable to care for your Cavalier, we’ll assist you in finding a new home or welcome them back into our home. Never take one of our dogs to a shelter, as we have a list of families who are already waiting for a dog – regardless of age.

Please don’t buy from a pet shop or broker, as nearly ALL these puppies come from a Puppy Mills where dogs live in cages every minute of their lives, are treated as breeding machines, receive no testing for inherited genetic defects, and puppies are NOT properly socialized. Commit to adopting from only reputable breeders who strive to improve the health and quality of their dogs and care about the welfare of their dogs.

If you’re a dog lover and looking for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, please call us at (602) 434-6655. Our dogs are carefully pure bred from the highest quality champion lines. Unlike many other breeders, our puppy parents live with us and would love to meet you.

Living Conditions

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is good with apartment life. They are moderately active indoors and a small yard is sufficient for play time as well as daily walks.

Grooming

The Cavalier is relatively easy to groom and is an average shedder. Its medium-length, silky coat is not heavy enough that it requires hours of brushing, and it sheds dirt easily. However, brush the long silky hair of its ears, tail, stomach, and legs (known as feathering) two or three times a week to prevent matting or tangling; checking behind the ears and where the leg meets the body as that is where they commonly form. The Cavalier should only need a bath every 2-4 weeks. The only other grooming needed is regular ear cleaning, tooth brushing, and nail trimming.

Origin

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is named for King Charles II and descended from the King Charles Spaniel. In the 1600s King Charles Spaniels were bred with Pugs, which resulted in a smaller dog with flatter noses, rounded heads, and protruding eyes; resulting in what we know today as the King Charles Spaniel.

During the 1920s Roswell Eldridge, an American, offered a monetary prize during a Cruft’s Dog Show in London to any person showing a King Charles Spaniel with a long nose because he was looking for Spaniels similar to those in appearance prior to the Pug was bred in. Ann’s Son, a dog owned by a Miss Mostyn Walker, won the prize but Eldridge had died a month before the show opened and was not there to present the award. However, his idea lived on in America and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed of today is due to the American breeders of the late 1920s. During the 1940s the King Charles Spaniel breed was classified as a separate breed and was given the prefix Cavalier to differentiate it from its predecessors.

Do Cavalier King Charles shed a lot?
