Interested in a puppy from Inez Cavaliers?
Puppies are typically ready to go their new home at approximately 10-11 weeks. We do not accept deposits. We believe that both the breeder and the future puppy owner need to meet before any financial commitment. It is very important that you see how your puppy is raised. At Inez Cavaliers all of our dogs live in our home as family pets. Our puppies are raised with love and acclimated to life in a home which ensures a smooth transition to your home. We would happily welcome your Cavalier into our home should you need to be away.
Our dogs are cardiologist and ophthalmologist tested before breeding. We also do DNA testing for degenerative myelopathy, episodic Falling Down syndrome, and dry eye curly coat which can be prevalent in the breed.
We do not breed our females until they are at least 3 years old and never past their 8th birthday, rarely having a litter every year and more likely 4-5 max in their lifetime. Because of this we don't have an abundance of puppies.
Giving all this with everything starting with a clean slate a breeder can still not absolutely guarantee that a puppy will not develop a problem. As an ethical breeder we do our absolute best to do the correct thing.
Once we have puppies we start reaching out in order of inquiries. We have criteria that is very important in a new family. We will first reach out after we have a healthy litter around 1-2 weeks of age. We want to see if what we have (colors and sexes) is what the new family is looking for. ( Some families are very specific on color and sex others are open) Secondly, do they have the time to give this puppy? Work schedule, etc. Once we have determined these conditions and all seem like the right fit, we will then require an in person visit around 5-6 weeks of age in our home with preferably the entire family looking to adopt. We get to know each other...we go from there and see if we both want to proceed. My goal is that each puppy gets a wonderful home with an abundance of attention and that families are open to my guidance on care (nutrition, vet visits, etc.) and that we are comfortable with each other as we will now be family and we would like to be in the loop throughout the lifetime of the dog.
Puppies are $2000.00 plus sales tax. They will be microchipped, vet checked, have first vaccination, a written health guarantee, nutrition and vaccination guidance, lifetime breeder support, socialized and ready to join their new home.
