Why a Cavalier, you ask, and more importantly, why so much?
Let me brutally honest and transparent with you for a minute.
I’m a wife and a mother. Our oldest Cavalier is 10 years old at this point. That means when we got her, my oldest had just hit double digits and my youngest was just starting PreK. Adding in a puppy to the chaos of a household with small kids with both parents working wasn’t an easy decision. We’ve owned other breeds of dogs before between my husband and I including labs, Pomeranians, shih-tzu/yorkie mix, , schnauzer’s, and boxers. We loved each of them without a doubt but with each that came and went, we kept moving past their breed and decided to try a new one.
Why, you ask? Because each had their own quirk or trait that we were hoping to not repeat again. Our lab was incredibly easy going but dug holes like we were trying to strike oil. Our Pomeranian was cute and fluffy but also hated company and also when we would leave the house because our busy lives required it. The boxer was drooling on everything including the kids, but her adhd self made life funny for a while.
Insert Cavaliers into our lives. There we were introduced to the kindest, gentlest souls. The dog that literally asked nothing more of us than our love and our leftovers. The easiest dog to train, the one who didn’t bark at company, the one who literally wouldn’t hurt a fly.
When we got our first Cavalier, we were literally blown away, not just as dog owners but as parents with small kids.
Cavaliers live up to their reputation. There isn’t a moment when we questioned if choosing this breed was the right choice. They have loved our babies the way that you dream of. They aren’t overly needy, they don’t destroy your home because you aren’t giving them enough attention, they care when you come home, and their energy matches their owners. They fall into the flow of your home so effortlessly.
So when one asks about our prices and is in a state of shock, I struggle to come up with a response. Why? Because if you know, you know, that Cavaliers are worth their weight in gold!
