A NOTE TO OUR VISITORS
My name is Christine, and I have worked with this incomparable breed for over 30 years. I have bred Cavaliers for decades, trademarked multiple Cavalier-exclusive brands, and completed literary works on the breed as an expert contributor and an author. My book, The Complete Cavalier Compendium, was written in 2022, and I have a series of Cavalier-centered children's books that will begin publishing in 2023. Suffice it to say that I am obsessed with Cavaliers. I have always enjoyed the company of my dogs and equally treasured all of my wonderful clients, who have been the main focus of our website, social media pages, and my business since its establishment. I thank you so much because all of this is possible because of all of you.
Breeding these beautiful dogs almost all of my adult life, I've learned a few things along the way. One important thing would be heart issues, which unfortunately affect almost every Cavalier as they age. Buyers must be informed of this issue because it is a significant issue with this breed. If anyone tells you that their dogs are void of murmurs/MVD (especially after age 10), ask for a reference from a vet and cardiologist, as a claim like that would contradict every documented study over the last four decades. It's good to be informed, but I will not comment on or bash another breeder's dogs or breeding program. Successful people will always focus on the positives of who they are and what they offer. They do not waste time pointing out the perceived shortcomings of another while simultaneously self-aggrandizing. Since our inception, we have never been "competition" concerned and have always been open to working with others. Over the past three decades, we have helped dozens of new breeders put down roots while working with established breeders to enhance our programs. We will continue to make ourselves available to breeders, old and new because we live by the motto that there is always room for improvement. We will also continue making ourselves available to all the wonderful clients we've met over the years. From Boston to Beverly Hills, we appreciate our clients because, without you, all of this would not be possible.
Our Website Will Be Celebrating Its 23rd Anniversary This Year!
When we started in the 90s, we would breed dogs and place ads in local newspapers and publications. We'd get a call, set an appointment, and wait for someone to arrive since it was also a time before cell phones and GPS. There were few Cavalier breeders because the AKC didn't formally recognize them until 1996. ROYALFLUSHCAVALIERS.COM was purchased in 1999, which was a big deal at the time. To put it in perspective, Walmart, Facebook, and even the White House had just gotten their dot coms just a few years before because less than half of US households were online then. It's been quite an adventure, but what they say is true: If you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.
If you have any questions about our dogs or the breed, please feel free to email me!

- OUR PROCESS -
If you would like information on our pups, please email us.
We'll apprise you of availability and add you to our waiting list.
We do not charge to be added to our waiting list and cannot guarantee wait time.
We have wait lists always running but the process is very fluid so the waiting period is too.
Please know that the majority of our client base returns for another, and past clients do take precedence.
We breed all colors and have litters throughout the year.
- HOW IT WORKS -
You are added to our waiting list and we notify you after the puppies are born.
We cannot guarantee wait time as it is impossible to predict future litters, how many puppies and so on.
We begin the application process and once complete we take a small deposit.
The application is very straightforward and it gives us a chance to get to know the potential placement home.
Depositors are provided with a login and can view litters from birth through placement with our LIVE cam.
- Note that LIVE cam is visual only. There is no audio since this camera is live in our home.
We do not allow visitors until pups have their first vaccinations which is generally 6-8 weeks of age.
We do not expose newborn puppies to the general public and they have to have their first shot before you can visit.
Placement date will ultimately be determined by our veterinarian at their final exam.
Puppies see the vet at 8 weeks for their final exam and it is at this appointment where he determines if they are ready.
You will go home with a copy of our contract including all pertinent information needed for your first vet visit.
Clients will also go home with a gift bag that includes items to assist with puppy's transition into their new home.

- THERE IS NO CHARGE TO BE ADDED TO OUR WAITING LIST -
AS AN ESTABLISHED BREEDER OUR PUPPIES ARE IN DEMAND. AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING WE ARE EXACTLY HALFWAY THROUGH THE MONTH WITH OVER 10,000 VISITORS, SO IMAGINE WHAT THAT WOULD AMOUNT TO IF WE CHARGED EVERY PERSON WHO REACHED OUT. IT IS OUR DUTY AND PLEASURE TO FIELD EMAILS, ANSWER QUESTIONS AND EDUCATE PROSPECTIVE BUYERS. ONCE INFORMED, WE ARE HAPPY TO ADD THOSE INTERESTED TO OUR LIST AND APPRISE THEM OF UPDATES. WE UNDERSTAND THAT NOT EVERYONE WHO CONTACTS US IS GOING TO BUY A PUPPY, AND THAT'S OK. OUR APPLICATION AND NO PRESSURE APPROACH SET THE TONE FOR THE PERFECT PLACEMENT. WE FEEL CHARGING PEOPLE TO BE ADDED TO OUR LIST IS FORCING SOMETHING, AND WE DON'T OPERATE THAT WAY.
- WE DO NOT ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BIRTH OF PUPPIES -
WE OCCASIONALLY GET REQUESTS FROM CLIENTS AND PROSPECTS ALIKE TO COME OVER AND HELP WITH THE BIRTH. THIS WAS NEVER A POLICY THAT WE ALLOWED OR CONDONED, SO I SOUGHT THE OPINION OF MY VET WHO EMPHATICALLY AGREES. ALLOWING THE PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE MOTHER AND NEWBORN PUPPIES CREATES AN UNNECESSARY RISK FOR ALL BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. WE DO OFFER "LIVE CAM" FOR ALL DEPOSITORS. ONCE APPLICATION AND DEPOSIT ARE COMPLETE, YOU ARE GIVEN A LOG IN TO VIEW PUPS AT ANYTIME.
THIS TOPIC IS SO IMPORTANT IT WAS THE CENTER OF DISCUSSION ON OUR PODCAST. GIVE IT A LISTEN!

ABOUT MERLE DOGS
Though there are no documents to prove conclusively when the Merle mutation happened, we know that it's at least 150 years old. We know this because stud books began in 1880 and there were Merle dogs in many newly created breeds. Further proof are paintings from the 19th century that clearly show Merle patterned dogs, and some from the 16th century possibly show this gene too. The Merle gene can be in traditional colored dogs as shown below. These carriers are called "Cryptic Merles" and it is one of many reasons why it is important for all breeders to DNA their dogs before breeding.

A Merle Cavalier can be 100% DNA Cavalier from AKC parents but be aware that the AKC does not recognize the Merle coloring for CKCS. You will have unqualified people making claims that Merle dogs have health problems and this kind of information is very misleading. Merle dogs do not have health problems but DOUBLE Merle dogs do have them. Double Merle dogs do not present as typical Merles, they are a very distinct solid white with pale blue eyes and impossible to mistake for a regular Merle. Responsible breeders do genetic testing to avoid health issues like double merle and many more.
If you have any medical questions it is important to consult with your vet or other qualified professional.

- NEWS: OUR In-a-Home Breeding Program TM EXPANDS WITH OUR FOSTER FAMILIES -
From time to time we will feature families that are part of our In-a-Home Breeding Program TM on our website and social media pages. These families play an integral role in how RFC humanely operates kennel free. Throughout the year we will feature the select families in the pilot program that are also raising the puppies from our lines as they work directly under us. This new part of Royal Flush Cavaliers allows these families an opportunity to establish their own breeding programs while giving both sides an opportunity to educate, expand and evolve.

REGISTRATION
Registration is for people purchasing to breed or show. If you are considering a puppy to breed or show, you must mention this in your initial email and not after purchase. Breed and show contracts are different than a pet purchase where you would not receive this. If you are looking to show or breed we will consider a co-ownership only We do a contract with co-ownership so that we maintain control over how the lines are developed for the future.

WE HAVE A PILOT PROGRAM FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN CO-OWNERSHIP AND SHOWING.
Though we are not personally showing our dogs, we have placed some on show contracts that have been active in the show ring. We are currently seeking people that may be interested in participating in our new program co-ownership program:
THE CHAMPION COMPANION CAVALIER PROGRAM TM
This is a program designed for people seeking a loving companion who are also interested in showing recreationally too. Whether it be AKC conformation, obedience or agility, we would love to discuss options to tailor a program specific to you and your canine compadre. If this program interests you, call or email us for more information.

WE DO NOT MICROCHIP YOUR PUPPIES AND BELIEVE THIS IS SOMETHING BEST LEFT TO YOUR VET.
A breeder can go on Amazon and purchase bulk microchip packages that amount to less than $2 per puppy. Though the overwhelming majority of chips are fine, there is always an occasional recall for anything from chip failure to cancerous growths at the implantation site. Your veterinarian is the only one kept abreast of such recalls.

WE DO NOT GIVE MEDICAL ADVICE ON ILLNESS OR VACCINATIONS AND BELIEVE THIS TOO IS BEST LEFT TO YOUR VET.
It is irresponsible for a breeder to dole out advice on medical treatments and vaccinations. Yes, you gain information and experience along the way but at the end of the day, I am not a doctor, I did not go to medical school and I am not licensed to practice medicine. If my dog is sick I go to the vet, and you should too. If you don't have a veterinarian and would like a referral to mine, please let me know.

WE DO NOT IMPOSE AGE-RESTRICTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO PURCHASING A PET
We do not condone, support or subscribe to a policy that is fundamentally discriminatory. Puppies and adult dogs are beneficial to people of all ages. They provide comfort and companionship for emotional health, and encourage activity for better physical health. Cavaliers make excellent companions for senior citizens. Children raised with dogs learn responsibility, empathy and compassion, and studies have also shown that babies raised around dogs may also be healthier too. Pet ownership is a huge responsibility which is why we have a process. We want to collectively make the best decision for both you and the pup. I had my first puppy at two years old, so why restrict you?

CHARITY
If you or someone you know runs or works for a charity, feel free to contact us. We enjoy working with charities, especially ones for children. It is important to note that when we say "work with" we mean DONATE to. Although most charities pay breeders for their puppies while the breeder accepts the accolades, we will not charge your charity for our puppy. They are given to these children completely free of charge so that the funds can be used to grant the wish of another child. We do a standard application and and then placement of the puppy. We have happily worked with various charities throughout the years, including the Make A Wish Foundation.
If you know of a charity seeking a Cavalier please contact us.

Is your Cavalier breeder breeding Cavalier King Charles Spaniels or English Toy Spaniels presented as Cavaliers?
English Toy Spaniels (known as King Charles Spaniels in England) are an entirely different breed than the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. There are so many similarities that I thought it would be a good idea to to help people differentiate.
Let's start with some background - King Charles II (their namesake) was an avid fan of his spaniels which at the time had elongated noses. After his death, Pugs and other like breeds became popular, so people bred them to the King's spaniels and the look evolved into the English Toy Spaniel that we know today. In the 1920s, Roswell Eldridge was seeking one of the old spaniels. so he proposed a challenge to breeders at Crufts Dog Show to bring it back. The challenge was accepted, a standard set, and the CAVALIER King Charles Spaniel was born.
Both of these breeds come in the same four colors and have similar personalities, but they are separate and distinct registered breeds with the AKC. English Toy Spaniels have short muzzles and pushed in faces, while Cavaliers have elongated noses with proportionate faces. English Toy Spaniels are 8-14 lbs and Cavaliers are 13-18lbs, which is why some try to pass them off as "toy" Cavaliers. Both are known to have heart valve issues, but English Toy Spaniels are known to have breathing problems because of their short muzzles. Both breeds are also known to be potentially susceptible to neurological issues but English Toy Spaniels are more prone because of the size and shape of their heads.
We think that both breeds are adorable, but if you're looking for a Cavalier make sure your breeder is breeding Cavaliers and not English Toys.
They are NOT the same breed.
