I'm the breeder behind Criddle Mountain Cavaliers located in West Valley, UT. We love to responsibly raise and train our puppies so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. We have developed several protocols to ensure the health and well-being of all of our dogs. It’s our top priority to make sure each of our puppy families welcomes a happy and healthy new family member into their homes! We would love for every family to have a Cavalier in their home, but you have to determine if they will be a good fit for you.
