Instructions
Learn as much as you can about the Cavalier King Charles dog breed. Purchase books providing details about the breed's temperament and needs. Evaluate carefully if this breed fits your lifestyle so to ensure a happy relationship with your future purebred dog.
Locate a reputable breeder in your state. The American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club's website is a good place to start. Its breeder referral database offers contact information of potential breeders adhering to specific principles of conduct and ethical guidelines.
Contact the breeder and ask if there are any Cavalier King Charles Spaniels available. If yes, the breeder will likely arrange to meet you for an interview to ensure the breed is a good match for you and your family. This is the perfect time to also ask questions about your future pedigree companion and inquire about important information such as genetic health tests performed on the parents.
Evaluate the breeder's home to ensure he takes good care of the breeding specimens and puppies. If you are looking at a litter, the puppies should be clean, appear healthy and there should not be any overwhelming smells. Also ask to look at the dam or sire if on site.
Purchase your pedigree Cavalier King Charles dog if you are satisfied about what you see and what you have learned about the breeder. Upon selecting a form of payment, you should get a bill of sale, which confirms you have paid in full. Along with your new canine companion you should also receive proof of shots, health guarantees, test clearance certificates, and of course, pedigree registration papers.
