My goal is to ensure that I only breed quality, healthy puppies that contribute positively to the breed line. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I am trying to achieve as a breeder.

Karen’s certifications & recognitions
AKC Breeder of Merit
Karen has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Puppy prices range from $2,500 - $3,000 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.
“All of my cavaliers that are sold as a pet on a limited registration are all the same price, a deposit is only refunbdable if during the litters health check a puppy is found to have a health issue that will require the puppy to have medical attention for the rest of its life or the exam finds that this puppy is found with a defect that will cause its demise, the same will be addressed to my Biewer Terriers.”
Karen may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Karen offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Karen directly.
My puppies are handled frequently from birth. When I begin to wean, I allow them to have access to the family room where they come in contact with my family and grandkids. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with Children, Early Socialization, and Various People.
All of my puppies are dewormed every 2 weeks starting at 2 weeks of age. At 6 weeks, they receive their first 5-in-1 shot, and at 10 weeks they receive their second 5-in-1 shot. I also take the whole litter for a health visit with my vet before they leave for their forever homes. I provide copies of all paperwork in a folder for each puppy, at 10 weeks of age I take them to and eye specialist to have their eyes tested. Once they have seen the eye specialist they are ready to pick up.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Woo Hoo Biewers & Inkahoots Cavaliers hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Karen 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.

Why Karen started breeding
Growing up, my mother used to show and breed Cocker Spaniels. This introduced me to the world of dogs at an early age and contributed to my inspiration and passion for my program. I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; that today’s breeders are the guardians of the future Biewer Terriers.
