Lilium CavalierLynchburg, Va, Virginia 24536 Contact: Jamie Adkins Affiliations: AKC We are nestled in the mountains near Lynchburg, Virginia on a 63 acre Christmas tree farm. We are a very small selective breeder of quality Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. We are members of the original Cavalier club, the CKCSC,USA. We actively show our dogs in the CKCSC,USA shows and also in the AKC. As a veterinarian I believe that health testing our dogs before breeding is the best way to produce healthy puppies. The parents of our puppies have had their eyes and hearts checked by veterinary specialists. Also their knees (patellae) and hips have also been cleared for problems. Unfortunately cavaliers are 20 times more likely to get a heart disorder called mitral valve disease then are other breeds. 50% of the general population of cavaliers gets a heart murmur by 5 years old. Health testing dogs before breeding them is the best way to combat this sad fact. All cavaliers are not created equal! The old saying “you get what you pay for” holds true with cavaliers as well. So do your homework. We strive to produce cavaliers that exemplify the breed standard. Specifically dogs with a gentle, friendly temperaments, correct, balanced, graceful bodies, long flowing ears, silky coat with rich, deep coloring, a cushiony head with correct muzzle length, large dark eyes and a melting, sweet expression. We breed a limited number of litters per year so that we can give each litter our full attention and care. We breed all four colors. Please feel free to call with questions about this special breed. Please see our web page for more pictures of our dogs and more information. |
