Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Kelly Hendrix's Cavalier King Charles Spaniels & Toy Australian Shepherds located in Ashwood, OR. We are huge animal lovers and have a special place in our hearts for our dogs. We do everything we can to make sure that they get the best lives possible. That includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families.

Kelly’s experience

  • About Kelly

    I've been breeding for over 20 years and strive to breed loving, well tempered healthy dogs. All of my breeding dogs are genetically tested.

  • What makes Kelly’s program special

    I play with the puppies daily. They are started on going outside with the adults at 5 weeks and puppy pads are inside. Puppies are allowed to mingle with all of my adult dogs as soon as they're able to crawl out of their box. They're exposed to cats, farm animals and two Great Pyrenees siblings. My puppies love playing outside by the time they go to their new homes.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

Our puppies are started on potty training to the outside and have an idea of how to use the dog door. They will still have accidents as they're puppies but the get the hang of going in and out of it and playing on their own outside in a fenced in yard. My puppies are exposed to Great Pyrenees and mingle with the adult dogs as soon as they're able to crawl out of their kennel and box. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Surface & tactile stimulation, Socialized with other animals, Socialized with other dogs, and Daily handling.

Puppy health practices

All puppies are weighed at birth and every week. They are dewormed every two weeks and will go to the vet at 7 weeks for their first puppy vaccination. I vaccinate with Nobivac Oral Bordetella before they leave my home.
