Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
About Traveler
Traveler is Gorgeous black and tan Cavalier. She is not long in body length like some of the black and tans can get. She herself is out of Champion MC Laren Dobry Rok (Victor) and her bottom side is boasts a really nice pedigree of hungarian lineage. Traveler is a 2nd generation to us. Her mom is Addy who has an AKC conformation point but was not finished due to having babies before she was to old. Traveler was born with us in Florida which is how she got her name and ironically her first litter is in Florida. (We are fortunate to be snowbirds). She has a fun loving personality and is very smart. She loves her humans but is independent. Her puppies should make great show prospects, pet therapy and pet companions.
