About Carol
Darlene Petralia and I have collectively been involved in the world of purebred dogs for more than 60 years. We reside, along with our families & dogs, in Upstate New York in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. Darlene and I met in 1989 and became fast friends. Our two families have been working and playing together ever since. Our goal is to produce the healthiest Cavalier ,bred to the Standard as set by the American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club
What makes Carol’s program special
Our breeding program focuses on health. We have been doing MRI's on our dogs since 2002, which have helped us in making our breeding decisions . Our Cardiac Checks annually by Board Certified Cardiologist which allows us to maintain a good cardiac profile within our breeding program. We use outside stud dogs from breeders who have the same ethics that we have, always looking forward to produce the healthiest puppies for your family. As my dear friend, Darlene Petralia, once said, "Cavaliers! Little packages of soul and joi de vivre; they make friends of strangers, delightful fools of grown men, confidants of children, and melt the hearts of everyone they meet. There is none other like them."
Carol is a member of 5 clubs
