Some of you know I had a spinal fusion last June. It did not go well and I drew the short straw. It was eye opening and not anything that I expected. I thought nothing but positive and still do. Bottom line I started my painting again and love it. Actually it is the only thing that can take my mind off the pain. My left leg is still numb and and add the falls I've taken now my left knee is injured and wonky. Rods, bolts and spacers was never in my vobcabulary but it is now. I feel I must paint for the relief, love my dogs and do all I can before my eyesight goes and who knows about the back. I love painting and it brings me joy. All the paintings are for sale and I am very fussy. My art is not perfect as no art is. It's all in YOUR eye. Some are canvas, some are gallery cradled wooden panels. Some are resin finished and some are varnish finished. I use 2-5 coats. I like wood best and varnish. I use artist quality high end paints and products. I make my own frames and paint with such joy I cannot explain it. Paintings run between $50.00 for smaller and the larger I am pricing at $75.00 and up. Size is the dictator. The larger sell for $650 and I decided this was my start and I need to just recapture my expenses so I can continue to paint. It's my theraphy and I want to continue. So I don't know if you have checked my fluid painting with other artist but this is a great deal. Some of my gallery wood frames are oak but most pine. I'm charging for my supplies with a very small overage. You would pay shipping if that is necessary. Paintings are gorgeous and my photos don't do them justice. I will take more later. I'm building a new website for just the art but having a little trouble. Maybe one of my puppy mom's or dad can help me. haha Call for detail please/

When you get your puppy home make sure you treat them like you would a new child. Look them over and do not over excite them. Let them warm up to all the new people, smells, furnishings and yards. We have wonderful centennial cavaliers for sale that make great pets.
I had one lady say that she took them home and went out in the backyard and ran and ran. When she finally wanted to come in the puppy was squeamish and wanted to stay out, Wiggling back an forth like crazy when she picked him up. She was upset at the puppy thinking he was wild. This is not so. She over excitd him. Can't do this. They are both fine.
Keep your puppy home till they are comfortable with their new family and home. They have time to meet everyone in due time.
It's recommended you take the puppy to the vet within 3 days of pick up to rest your mind they are healthy. You have three days to complain. This is for your protection and mine. No refunds if you come up with something down the road.
I say this all the time, I don't recommend this. They do not have all their shots yet and can contact numerous things including mites and lice and such.
I am a dedicated breeder and there is great joy in a pet. If you have any questions or concerns please call. I don't do screaming or crazy very well.
I will keep you posted as this event comes about. Don't know colors or sex but you'll know soon. Moving up on the waitlist is faster sometimes due to color and sex. If you want a tri and I get ruby then you wait and the next person has the option to take the ruby. Call me if you're confused on this confusing issue.
When you get your dogs teeth cleaned they usually order blood work. This can be devastating if the vet isn't aware of the Cavaliers benign condition in this breed. You may find this a strange statement but it happens all the time. I have an example right now. Running a bunch of unnecessary test can cost a fortune and be totally wrong, I use VIRBAC VEGGIDENT small chews from Amazon. They are a new attempt to find a chew that doesn't break their teeth or split them to the root. They cost $24.93 a bag and you get 30. Always supervise your dog. I think they are all dangerous but they need to chew to help keep teeth clean. Brushing is great but sometimes we fall behind. I just took 2 of my dogs in for cleanings (extortion) and each had broken or split teeth. I was using Himalayan Yak chews and stopped them immediately. I also quit ice cubes that they love. As long as I have been doing this and I still learn daily.
Panic for nothing. Over half of all cavalier King Charles spaniels may have both abnormally low number of platelets and also have oversized platelets in their blood.
Platelets usually are the smallest cells in the blood system. They serve to bind together and clot when they come in contact with a damaged blood vessel.
Despite the low platelet counts, the typical cavalier's blood platelets function normally, and the dog does not appear to experience any health problems due to either the size or fewer numbers of its platelets..
Excessively low platelet counts normally is a sign which tends to alarm general practice veterinarians, and so it is vitally important that cavalier owners alert their vets about this benign condition. Other dog with this similar condition are Japanese Akita, Cairn terrier and Norfolk terrier.
No treatment is recommended unless the dog shows other symptoms of a blood-related disorder. Cavaliers should not be treated for immune-medicated thrombocytopenia (IMT) as a precaution.
Any new dog I get is frustrating for me. They NONE have been introduced to potty training. NONE. I start potty training as soon as they walk with solid footing. No matter what they told me, actions speak volumns. Any new puppy I EVER got didn't know the first thing about potty training unless we were on the grass and they accidentally had to go at that moment.
As soon as you see them squat you more them to where you want them to go. In the beginning it is the potty pad in the large kennel. One side is fluffy bed and pee pad on the other half. They are babies so very gentle.
My kennel is right by my sliding patio door and I sit 2" from it. I can smell every potty and have a touch of OCD and can't stand it. This is huge to me to get them on the right track for potty and make it easy on you. If you don't follow the program you will just take longer to train than what is necessary.
When they awake in their kennel they immediately go to the deck. All are put down. I say "go potty." It's not that they understand right then, it's that they just need to pee. Everytime they open their eyes from a nap and get up they will pee as babies. Then I just praise, praise, praise them. We come back in.
Now they are older. Better footing. I get them out the door with a little push. They are confident. Repeat "go Potty" and of course they all squat. Praise, Praise, Praise. Back in. This is repeated ten times a day. All of a sudden they start holding it longer and longer and waitin a little for me to get them all out to go. It's amazing. If it's freezing I cannot take them out. If it's nice I do.
At 7-8 weeks they are on the turf. Love it. After 5 weeks very seldom is there poop in the kennel. Only pee from the night. They catch on. SMART! I am consistent and You take it from there. They can backslide if you don't stay on it. Nothing but praise and being consistant. Yes, really.
This is Piper. She is full of fun. Love her dainty face and beautiful markings. She's a lover and too smart for her own good. She teases a lot. Great personality.
I first saw a Tri Color female King Charles in a restaurant in St Nazaire, France. I was so taken by her beauty, obedience, size and eyes that projected love. I just fell in love instantly. I returned home and immediately went to work studying this breed. I was struck by the Cavalier lightning bolt! I only have 3 girls and they are perfect to me.
The lightning bolt has never left. Every baby I touch has that special charm. You really cannot explain it unless you have had a King Charles. They are the sweetest dog on the planet. Smart too. I have mine trained so fast that even I'm surprised sometimes. They are such sturdy little dogs. This is not a foo foo dog. They are just amazing. Looking at this picture I yearn for my dark hair. haha
The true purpose of this breed has always been that of a companion dog. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is the number one toy dog in England. The first Cavaliers were sent to America in 1952 by Lady Forwood as a gift. When I started out no one even knew what a Cavalier was here in Colorado. All my pups went to the east and west coast. These two Cavaliers started my business in the 1980's. Their names were Frenchie and Pierre. Just Perfect. Great temperament and size. The whole package and I didn't really know at the time how perfect these two were. I feel like they were magically sent my way and I was lucky to have such a perfect start to my future of these amazing dogs.
