Could anyone help me in my search for a blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Pup. I have no preference to bitch or dog, not wanted for showing or breeding, just to be a family pet. I live in scotland and am willing to travel. I have had no luck in my search so far. So if anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Thank You

There is a place called Shieldhall Kennels in Glasgow who have home bred Cavs. There is also an ad this week in the Ad Trader paper for cross Cavs. See www.adtrader.co.uk and you should find details of both. If not let me know and I'll try to find the number of Shieldhall for you if you are interested.

Hi guest, I used to breed Cavaliers, but have not done so for about 3 years, however I still get 3 or 4 phone calls a month for them. They are not as easy to find as they used to be, but please be very careful about answering ads in the like of Ad-Trader for them - a lot of dealers and puppy farmers use these papers. In fairness, quite a few responsible breeders use them too,but with an extremely popular breed like Cavs you have to be very careful with the freeby ad papers. There used to be an awful lot of puppy farmers specialising in Cavs in the Aberdeen area in particluar, and every pup or dog I have seen from those people were very poor specimins and far from good condition. Your best place to start, apart from the breeders listed here, of course, would be the Breed Clubs. Remember that Cavs have some herediarty health problems, the most prevelant being heart trouble, it is so important to make sure you buy from heart tested parents, and find out the life expectancy of the breeders lines. It is too heartbreaking to get a puppy just to lose it in a few short months.

I agree, it would seem that this place is okay but you can never be too careful. I would NEVER knowingly pass on the name of a bad breeder.
