Why this breed is missing
Why we don't currently place Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has high breed-specific health risks — especially affecting the heart and the nervous system. In these cases, a lot depends on the breeder: on consistent screenings, disclosed results, and breeding choices that put health ahead of appearance. Assessing this breed is complex and not straightforward. We currently don't have a standard for this that we would rely on — which is why we aren't showing any breeders or puppies for this breed for the time being. As soon as we can change this, we'll include the breed again.
