Why Lara started breeding
My passion for breeding Cavalier King Charles Spaniels was ignited in the 1980s, inspired by my British mother and Liz Spalding, both dedicated breed enthusiasts. Liz's dogs were renowned for their exceptional temperament, intelligence, and beauty, attracting famous clients like Frank Sinatra, Kirk Douglas, and Steven Spielberg. As a child, I would accompany my parents to Liz's kennel for breeding purposes. Liz's down-to-earth nature and extensive knowledge impressed me, and I fondly recall the passionate discussions between her and my mother about preserving the breed's integrity. A well-bred and properly socialized Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is truly a joy to behold. Their intelligence, easygoing nature, and athleticism make them outstanding companions. These dogs possess a remarkable ability to form deep connections with people, which I've observed firsthand through my involvement in pet therapy with youth and teens. It's no surprise that research indicates Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are the top dog breed for combating depression, given their affectionate and cheerful disposition.
