Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Alder Creek Cavaliers located in Conroe, TX. My family fell in love with this breed two years ago after breeding Labradors for 6 years. Cavaliers are the perfect lap dog, yet they have the ability to keep up with an active family on any given day. We pride ourselves on breeding healthy Cavaliers, and for us to do this, each dog undergoes extensive health testing.

Megan’s experience

  • About Megan

    I was a full time ICU nurse for the past 6 years, but I have recently expanded my knowledge by becoming an Nurse Practitioner with Heart Surgeons at the Texas Heart Institute. I am not just blessed with the best career but I am also married with three wonderful boys. It has always been a passion to continue to work with animals while having a career in the health care field.
