Wellsworth CKCS
Meet the breeder
I'm Gwendolyn W., the breeder behind Wellsworth CKCS located in Greensboro, NC. I am a preservation breeder that breeds to the written standard. My dogs are bred for health, temperament, and conformation. I absolutely love Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and I aim to produce healthy and exceptional puppies that will thrive in their future homes.
Q. & A. with Gwendolyn
Why did you start breeding?
With support from a good mentor and a sound foundation, I set forth to start my own breeding program. It is important to me that I not only preserve my own phenomenal bloodlines but that I am improving this breed with each litter.What makes your program special?
I do not produce a litter unless each of my parent dogs is fully healthy and excellent representations of the standard. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my pups. I love what I do and truly want nothing more than to see each and every one of my puppies shine!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blenheim and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
