I'm the breeder behind Goddens Cavaliers located in Signal Mountain, TN. All our dogs are AKC certified, DNA tested through Embark, and breeding dogs are OFA certified for heart, eyes, patella, hips, elbows, DECC, and EFS. We are small show breeders. Our dogs live with us in our home. We live on large acreage in the woods. Our puppies get socialized with other dogs, cats, kids, and adults.
About ALEXANDRA
I am a stay-at-home mom of two kids and my dogs. I like to connect with other Cavalier breeders and Cavalier lovers. I enjoy hiking and agility with my dogs.
What makes ALEXANDRA’s program special
We focus on conformation, health, and temperament. We show, DNA test all our dogs, and do yearly OFA certifications for the heart with a cardiologist. We keep in contact with the parents and grandparents of our breeding dogs to monitor their health as they age. We are always available to our customers for questions they may have and are always willing to take our puppies back if they can no longer provide for them.

ALEXANDRA has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $2,500 - $4,000 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.
“Also included are a one-year congenital health guarantee, AKC registration, first round of vaccinations, deworming, and puppy socialization. We request a $500 deposit once the puppy is born and picked.”
ALEXANDRA may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If ALEXANDRA offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to ALEXANDRA directly.
Our puppies are raised in our home. They are socialized with other dogs and kids and are used to the sounds of a busy environment. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Various Surfaces, Name Recognition, Human Interactions, Basic Obedience Commands, Noise Desensitization, Toys, e.g. Ball, Touch Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, Grooming Desensitization, Household Desensitization, Sound Stimulation, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Children, Crate Training, "No" Biting or Chewing, and Potty Training.
All puppies are vaccinated and taken to the vet for a health check before going home. Our vet also checks the stool samples of each puppy before they leave our home.
We send our puppies home with Puppy Starter Kit, Vaccinations, Blanket with Littermates' and Mom's scents, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Food Starter Bag, and AKC Registration.
ALEXANDRA offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“We don't ship our puppies but you can come to our home, or we can meet you at our local airport. We can also recommend a flight nanny service. ”
Why ALEXANDRA started breeding
We got our first Cavalier years ago and we saw the joy she brought to us and how great she was with little children. Seeing the empathy, love, and care she gave, we wanted others to experience this breed. Our mission is to improve the health of the breed to help reduce the predisposed health conditions in Cavaliers.
