Where to Get a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

There are three main ways to get a cavalier King Charles spaniel:
  1. Buy from a breeder.
  2. Adopt from a shelter.
  3. Adopt from a rescue group.

Breeders

Buying a cavalier King Charles spaniel directly from a breeder is the most expensive option, but as long as the breeder is reputable, it’s also the best way to guarantee that the cavalier you purchase will be healthy and well socialized.

Look for the following when searching for a reputable breeder:
  • Focus: Breeds only one or two breeds
  • Knowledge: Knows breed standards and temperaments
  • Care: Keeps clean, well-maintained kennel areas, and the dogs or puppies appear healthy and happy
  • Support: Offers support after you bring your dog or puppy home
  • Paperwork: Provides a written contract and health guarantee; requires you to complete an application and provide references; provides records of veterinary care and shots, as well as references from other customers
  • Mandatory return: Requires you to return the dog if you decide not to keep him
You can locate breeders on the internet, in breed-specific magazines, at dog shows, or in the telephone book. However, it’s often best to get a personal recommendation from friends or a vet.

Shelters

Most cities and towns have an animal shelter, humane society, or pound that takes in unwanted, lost, or abandoned pets, restores them to good health, and offers them for reasonable fees to the public. Few people intent on adopting a specific breed, such as a cavalier King Charles spaniel, think of trying a shelter. But in fact it’s possible to adopt a purebred from a shelter—and often for a fraction of the price that breeders charge. If you’re set on a cavalier puppy, though, keep in mind that it’s generally less likely that you’ll be able to find a puppy at a shelter.

Rescue Groups

Rescue groups are like shelters for specific breeds. Cavalier King Charles spaniel rescue groups take in lost or unwanted cavaliers and offer them for adoption. Rescue groups are a great option for prospective dog owners who want a specific breed but who also would like to “rescue” a dog rather than buy one from a breeder. They typically charge a bit more than shelters but are still a great option for adopting a purebred dog.
