Our story
A note from Jen:
In 2006, I visited a dear friend in London who was getting married, and there I met her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy. This little pup was the sweetest, most loving companion I had ever encountered. Though I had always been a big-dog person, meeting that Cavalier changed everything for me. When the time came to get a new dog, I decided to switch things up and brought home my first two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels: Magreggor and Aimee Rose. It was love at first sight.
As a psychotherapist, I soon discovered the incredible nature of Cavaliers, often referred to as ‘comforter spaniels,’ as the perfect therapy dogs. They were not only invaluable to my clients but also brought comfort and joy to my home, especially to my three autistic children. With encouragement from a friend, I began to envision breeding Cavaliers as a way to share their love and healing with others.
This vision unfolded into something greater than I could have imagined. Breeding Cavaliers allowed me to provide for my children and clients, gave me an identity beyond just being a therapist or a mother to autistic children, and offered a potential future for my sons, who may face challenges in living independent lives. It also created a sense of community, both for me and for the families who welcomed these puppies into their homes.
Over the years, these puppies have given back in countless ways. Although I’ve been doing this for 17 years, the magic of witnessing a birth never fades. The joy of sending puppies home with children who’ve been waiting their "whole lives" for a pet, or providing therapy dogs for veterans with PTSD and others battling anxiety, continues to fill me with purpose, joy, and gratitude. This journey has brought together my passions, life’s purpose, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
Breeding these Cavaliers is more than just a business; it’s life-giving. It’s a source of abundance, overflowing to many others whose lives I get to touch with love and healing. These little fur creatures are like grandchildren to me, and they mean as much to me as they do to the families who take them home.
