King Charles Cavalier Spaniel FaQ's

West Coast Cavaliers breeds select Cavalier King Charles Spaniel litters a few times a year. We never know how many, color or gender will be born, so the time frame vs list can change rapidly. The best way to see if we have any Cavalier King Charles puppies for sale at this time, is to follow our Facebook page where we post current litters, upcoming litters and availability weekly.

A healthy & happy Cavalier King Charles puppy that thrives, is not the place to bargain shop. West Coast Cavaliers sires & dams are AKC registered. They are OFA certified. They are Embark DNA tested. They live in a happy, healthy environment. This produces healthy, happy puppies that thrive. We would be happy to discuss price once we approve your application. We would like you to be aware of differences in prices however. Puppy mill Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies are half the price but you unfortunately get what you pay for. Most horror stories around cavaliers health, tooth loss, medical bills, behavior problems all stem from puppy milled King Charles Cavaliers. So please be careful with whomever you choose to get your CKCS from.

After speaking with West Coast Cavaliers, we know you will feel very confident in knowing you are safe to move forward. And if for some reason, something doesn't settle right with you, let us know!

We understand the importance of transparency in our breeding practices and recognize the value of sharing OFA certifications online. However, we've made a deliberate decision not to post these certifications due to the unfortunate prevalence of scammers who exploit such documentation to deceive unsuspecting families.

Scammers often steal OFA certificates and other official documents, such as AKC papers, to lend credibility to their fraudulent profiles. As responsible breeders, we prioritize the welfare of both our puppies and the families who adopt them. Therefore, we take proactive measures to safeguard our information from being used as a tool in these deceptive schemes.

Instead of posting OFA certifications online indiscriminately, we provide all necessary documentation to families who have demonstrated genuine interest and commitment to becoming responsible pet owners. By verifying the sincerity of potential buyers, we aim to ensure that our puppies are placed in loving and secure homes where they will receive the care and attention they deserve.

We regret any inconvenience this precaution may cause, but we believe it's a necessary step in protecting both our integrity as breeders and the well-being of our beloved animals. Thank you for your understanding and trust in our commitment to ethical breeding practices. If you have any further questions or would like to inquire about our certifications, please don't hesitate to contact us directly.

Our Cavaliers also compete in Barnhunt, Lure Coursing, weight pull and other agility events in the UKC,  AKC, NASDA, and other sporting associations.  Particularly Sir Weston Irvin, have made history in the show ring. Weston recently earned his International Champion title at the IABCA dog show, becoming the first chocolate Cavalier to achieve this milestone in conformation. He has also secured Grand Champion status with the UKC, making him the only chocolate Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to achieve this distinction in the USA, and possibly worldwide. In 2025, Weston become #2 in the nation for the UKC Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is the only chocolate in the UKC Top 10. Showing our Cavaliers not only highlights their beauty and conformation but also allows us to promote and celebrate the diversity within the breed.

Our stud, Hunter proudly finished the 2025 AKC Fast CAT season ranked #64 nationally, showcasing both speed and drive. He is also a UKC Champion and a UKC Weight Pull Champion—demonstrating versatility, structure, and athletic ability across multiple venues. Notably, Hunter is the only chocolate Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to earn championship titles in both the AKC and UKC. 

We also have numerous AKC Champion offspring lines and continue to work with select show breeders to help "clean up" their lines.

West Coast Cavaliers does not sell to breeders. This was a choice made that was not made lightly. We have chosen to provide families with wonderful family pets that are happy and healthy. Our sales contract includes a mandatory spay/neuter clause. While we retire a female after only breeding three times, other breeders may breed more. It is our personal experience that once a puppy is sold to another breeder, we no longer have any input to their breeding standards or overall program practices. Our puppies are our heart & family and we only want the very best for their futures, and we believe that is in loving family homes not in a breeding kennel.
