I'm the breeder behind Ali-Mae Cavaliers located in Louisville, KY. We breed for excellence according to the AKC standard. Occasionally, we have puppies and adults available whose destiny is not the show ring, but as a beautiful pampered pet in your home. Our high standards include health and genetic testing, as well as great temperaments and gorgeous conformation.
About Kelly
I am Kelly Tracy Woods of Ali-Mae Cavaliers, a small hobby show breeder near Louisville, Kentucky. By bringing knowledge and experience in the breed, as well as forming important connections with other show breeders such as Anika Stahl of vom Kaninchengarten Cavaliers, my goal is to breed and show our Cavaliers to the upper levels of conformation exhibition.
What makes Kelly’s program special
Perfection is always my goal with an intense study of pedigrees before any breeding takes place. The focus of my breeding program is not only to improve the health of the breed, but to also produce the next great show dog making its stamp in the show ring as well as the whelping box. I breed first to have something that will win in the show ring, unlike backyard breeders.

Why Kelly started breeding
In 1997, I started showing and breeding Pomeranians, and became a member of the national parent club. Unfortunately, I was unhappy with the direction the breed was going, and decided to switch to Japanese Chin. I became a member of the Chin national parent club, and finished my last Chin's AKC championship while I was 6 months pregnant! I soon realized that I needed to find a breed that was more family-friendly, and my extensive search resulted in the purchase of my first Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in 2016.

About Nala
What can we say about our sweet Nala Bean? If Barbie Doll were a Cavalier, she would look and act a lot like our Nala. She loves everyone and does not meet a stranger. When we have to go to the vet, she greets everyone in the waiting room and staff eagerly, wagging her tail the entire time. And though we love her temperament, her conformation is even better. She is a champion-sired, fully health tested ambassador to the breed that is an amazing show quality producer and great mother.

We had a wonderful experience adopting Desi from Kelly. Kelly responded quickly to questions, provided regular updates, photos and videos until adoption day, and brought Desi to the Louisville airport...
