Sarah’s experience

  • About Sarah

    Sarah Durham(myself) and Hillary Truelove recently took over this business September of 2023. We had been working here for 10+ years each. We have a love for dogs especially cavaliers and a want to better the health. Our goal is to provide our clients with healthy pets that will live a long life. We breed for good health and longevity, then size and temperament. Breed Standard is 12-18lbs.

    Our amazing foster program definitely sets us as breeder apart from everyone else. Our breeders live fun, happy, healthy pet lives when not breeding or taking care of puppies. Our puppy playground is unique in that it encourages proper joint and muscle development. We do proper genetic testing and post results even after our dogs leave our breeding program.

More about Sarah

  • Why Sarah started breeding

    I watched Holly Crumley (our founder) deliver puppies starting around the age 14. I loved the process and when I fell in love with Cavaliers I knew breeding was what I wanted to do. All of our males & females live in foster homes. They are someone's pet. Our kennel is a very nice facility but living here full time would be like living in a fancy orphanage. Our dogs are typically 12-16lbs!

  • Sarah has been a member of Good Dog for over 4 years

    Sarah was screened for responsible practices and has been a member since 2020.

  • Sarah’s program includes four colors

    Sarah’s Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies include tri-color, black and tan, ruby, and blenheim. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
