Spaying before a season is getting the norm over here, I personally would wait until she had had a season
Breeding good Cavaliers is not as simple as paying the stud fee. The dog & bitch need the following:
1.Current clear heart test
2.Be from heart tested/eye tested clear parents
3.Current clear eye test
4.Free from luxating patella
5.Fit the breed standard
6.Have good temperaments
7.If a maiden bitch then an experienced good quality stud who has produced heart & eye tested clear offspring
They are a very commerical breed & it is getting more common for C sections to be needed which puts your bitch at risk
If you intend to breed from her you should show her & also look at other peoples dogs, to see how she compares to the correct type of cavalier. As to finding a stud dog you should check with the breeder of your bitch as they should know what lines are suitable
