"Ruby" is (obviously) our ruby female. Ruby turned a year old in May 2006. At 10 months, she weighed 9 lbs and was 10 inches at the withers. Ruby is registered AKC and UABR and has quite an impressive pedigree with several champions in her bloodlines. We also have a young blenheim pair. Prince Charming lives up to his name. He also turned a year old in May 2006. At 10 months, he weighed 12 1/2 lbs and was 11 inches at the withers. Charming is registered ACA. Last but not least, here is our Princess Fiona. Fiona is the female from our young blenheim pair. She turned a year old in June 2006. At 9 months old, Fiona weighed 9 1/2 lbs and was 10 1/2 inches tall at the withers. Fiona is also ACA registered. "Lady" was our first female Cavalier. We named her Lady Longwait because we waited so long to finally get her. Lady was 3 years old in February 2006. She is triple-registered with FIC, ACA, and APR. We sold Lady, along with Queenie and Clifford, as a trio, to a very nice couple a few counties over in April 2006. We mated Lady with the tri-color male we had at the time, Sugar Mtn's "Sky" King Charles. We ended up with 2 litters of pups from Sky & Lady, but we kept this little tri-color girl out of their last litter. She was just a year old in February of 2006. "Tavi" is now living in Georgia with her new family there. She is shown here with our ruby male, Clifford. "Queenie" was our next tri-color addition. She is 6 years old and is ACA registered. She went to a home here in Missouri as part of a "trio" that we sold in April 2006. Tri-color is a dominant gene, so if you mate tri-color to blenheim, you always get tri-color pups. We decided to add a bit more color and ended up with a pair of ruby Cavaliers. This is the male, Clifford. We sold Clifford in April 2006, along with Lady & Queenie. Clifford was 1 year old as of March 2006, and he is registered ACA. He weighs 18 lbs and is 13 1/2 inches at the withers. Mating the ruby with the tri-colors gives a chance of ruby, tri-color, or black & tan pups.

Our Cavaliers have a variety of registries at the moment. Prince Charming and
Princess Fiona are both registered with the ACA. Ruby Slippers is registered with the AKC,
ACA, and UABR (United All Breed Registry).
For the most part, Cavaliers are, in the main, healthy and happy
little dogs. However, there are some diseases that Cavaliers are
considered to be more prone to genetically. One of these is mitral valve
dysplasia. Our Cavaliers are all healthy and have never demonstrated murmurs, but that doesn't
guarantee that Cavalier puppies will never develop MVD. For more
