I'm the breeder behind JNJ Royal Cavaliers located in Evans, CO. We are dog lovers who raise our cavi's in our home right alongside our family. We love being able to match our puppies with families that are the perfect fit for their personalities.
About Joan
We are retired teacher who love to learn. We have learned how wonderful Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS) are through raising, showing, and breeding them. We own two Blenheim females. They will have only one litter each year for 2-3 years. We are able to stay at home and spend time in my garden with these companions by our side. We like to take day trips to the mountains and go to outdoor concerts.
What makes Joan’s program special
We have taken each step in our breeding journey carefully to ensure that we are delivering healthy happy puppies. Through education and mentoring from reputable breeders, we have found our calling. We are able to spend time with the puppies to give them the attention, care, training, and proper upbringing they need to thrive.

Our goal is to have our puppy's potty trained and able to follow basic commands by the time they leave us. Cavaliers are very intelligent dogs, so we take them as far as they can go. Our pups do not stay in pens all day - we have the time and expertise to nurture them in all aspects of growing up. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Body Handling (feet, ears, tail, etc), Potty opportunities on various surfaces, Structures, e.g. Climbing, Outdoors, e.g. rain, Chew, e.g. Bone, Car Rides, Sound Stimulation, Various Surfaces , Toys, e.g. Ball, Nail Trimming, crate training, Socialized with Elderly, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Children, Travel Training, Weekly Nail Trims , Human Interactions , Basic manners, Name recognition , Sit Command, Potty Training, Crate Training, and "No" Biting or Chewing.
All the puppies have been evaluated by our veterinarian and fellow breeders and have been deemed excellent puppies, and rated "5". They have been growing as expected and, at 12 weeks old, they are around 5 lbs. These puppies have been well socialized growing up with the litter mates as well as mom & two other cavi's. They are great friends and get along well.
We send our puppies home with Sound and texture enrichment, Food Starter Bag, Vaccinations, Blanket with Littermates' and Mom's scents, Toy with Mom's Scent, Toy with Littermates' Scent, AKC Registration, and Puppies are also house broaken.
Joan 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’ll meet at a mutually convenient halfway point to drop off your puppy. Once your application is approved, we’ll coordinate the details for your pick-up day together.
