HI Deb, I hope your vacation was great. I just wanted to let you know our Louie (Pretty Boy) is doing great. Louie is amazing. He loves to play and snuggle, and loves to sleep. He brings a lot of joy to us, and is perfect addition to our little family here. We are truly blessed. We will have to set up a time so that we can meet, and you can see Louie and ensure yourself that he is doing great.. We absolutely love him.. Thank you for everything..
Sincerely,
Ryan and Christiane

Thank you once again for the lovely puppy you called "Shawn", born 4/19/11.  We now call him Louie.  After the death of my father-in-law and our collie of 12 years, this puppy has been exactly what my family needed.  He absolutely loves people. I was surprised that by the third night he no longer whined at night. He is already well on his way to getting house trained, and had his first vet appointment.  He is the center of attention in our household.  He is good friends with the neighbor's cat, and loves people of all ages who come to visit.  It is amazing how many visitors you get when you have a new puppy!  I just took the attached picture today, at 9 1/2 weeks of age.  He is already starting to learn the commands of "sit" and "come".  He is eager to please us, and I think will be easy to train.  

Thanks again,
Vicki J  Rochester,mn

Hi Deb,

 
Lacey is doing great. Seems right at home and is getting along well with the other dogs. We're having a lot of fun. She sleeps right by my head and sometimes on my neck. She's eating well and has tons of energy; likes to spring up about 6 inches in the air.

 
I took these photos today. Gotta love that face.

Hi Deb,

I just wanted to give you a quick update on Leo (previously known as Mack). He is the most loving and adorable little boy! I want to thank you for such a well-behaved, easily trainable and well-socialized puppy! We have had a great time together, and he is progressing very well at puppy class.
 
Thanks,
Molly

Hi Debbie - wanted to email you to tell you how much I love my babies -- see the picture below.  They are 2 1/2 years old at the moment, I bought two of them from you in October of 2008 after my cocker spaniel passed away.  We are still living in the Los Angeles area, Pacific Palisades, where there are many, many pooches of this breed.  You had named them Tony and Tommy, but I renamed them Rascal (lying down in the photo) and Chico (sitting up).  I'm so glad I bought two of them because I work and they keep each other company while I'm gone.  Luckily I only work part time now, and they get lots of walks and play time during my off-days.  They're both healthy and happy, I couldn't love them more !!  They have two very different personalities, Rascal, true to his name is lively and energetic - a real attention hound; Chico is very quiet, let's Rascal have the limelight and is content to lay in my lap gazing lovingly into my eyes -- a true romantic.  Hope you're well, just wanted to let you know what great dogs you're breeding....my best, Pam Nye

Hey Deb,

 
We just wanted to send you a quick update (and some pictures).  Trigger just celebrated his first birthday a couple of weeks ago.  It's hard to believe how much he's grown since we first picked him up in April.  He has been such an amazing addition to our family.  We could not have asked for a better dog, he is so smart and so well behaved.  We still firmly believe he is the cutest dog on the planet!  Thank you so much for bringing him into our lives.  This has been a wonderful first year, and we look forward to many more with him. 
 
I enclosed a couple of pictures so you can see how much he's grown. 
Thanks again!
Tom and Kristen

Hi Deb!!

 
I just wanted to give you an update on Trigger.  He is doing great!  Tom and I absolutely love him.  He is so well behaved and so great with everyone.  We are constantly being told how cute his face is and how he is such a social and loveable dog (Tom's mom even said she might love him more than she could love a grandchild .  He is also extremely smart.  We have had him for a little less than two months and he has already learned so many new tricks (sit, lay down, high-five, shake, stay, and our favorite is when I say 'Bang' and he falls over and plays dead - its adorable).   I attached a couple of pictures so you can see how big and adorable he has gotten.   And you can see from the pictures, he LOVES toys and loves to play.  
 
Thank you so much for allowing us to adopt him, we love him so much!! 
 
We also want to say thank you for the food recommendation.  We switched him to Fromm about a month ago and he LOVES it!  And his coat is amazingly shiny and soft. 
  
Thanks again so much for him, we truly do love him more than we ever thought we could!!  And we will definitely recommend you to any friends or family looking for a smart, wonderful, adorable, loveable puppy!

Deb, you beat me to it....I was going to email you today and let you know how Charlie/Jordan is doing.  He's doing just FINE!!!

Made the 6 hr trip to Bloomington with very little fuss.  Took him to the vet yesterday and was pronounced "healthy" as well as very cute. 

He put on quite a show of "cute" there.  He was a little irritated with the shot, though!  So we go back in 3 wks.

He's been using the pottie pads and went outside three times!!!  Wow, what a guy!  Eating well, too.  Loves his new toys.
AND...... would you believe he chases the ball and brings it back to me every time.  I thought that was pretty amazing.
 
Oliver is in "tolerate" mode and tries very hard to ignore the new intruder.  Each day gets a little better.  I'm sure when Oliver

figures out that the little guy in staying he'll warm up a little more.  The cats are still watching and waiting --- very curious about him,

but at paws length.

 
My two sons, who live here, came over yesterday to meet Charlie --- they gave him the seal of approval.
 
So, we are all settling in and trying to get a routine established. 
 
Charlie is a wonderful addition to our family and I look forward to watching him grow.  Thank you for Charlie and being so

patient with the wire transfer process.  Enjoyed meeting you and all the other beautiful puppies and dogs.  

Will send you pictures as he grows.

Hello Deb,

We adopted Lucky back in August, and I wanted to follow-up with you on how she’s doing. 

First of all, she is a delight!!  She is spunky, loving, and curious.  She has fit in wonderfully with our kids,

and she is basically my shadow at all times.  We are so enjoying her presence in our home!  She especially

 loves to play with our cat, and also to sit under the piano as I play it every day, even resting her head on the pedals!!

Secondly, she had her surgery to be spayed on Tuesday,   she is recovering very nicely. 

 I’ve attached a cute little picture of her (from when she was much younger, but it’s still very cute!!)

Thanks again!

Renee

Deb,


 
We are writing to give you an update on Chip and to thank you for breeding such a wonderful,

 well socialized puppy.   We are very happy with our decision to adopt Chip.  

He is a perfect companion and a great addition to our family.   


 
Chip is very playful, enjoys meeting new people and showering them with kisses.  

 We enrolled him in obedience training and he has already learned the commands sit,

down, come and is working on learning to heel.   The instructor even commented that

 Chip is very eager to learn.  


 
Chip's favorite game is "hide and seek".  He runs from room to room, hiding under tables and chairs.  

He loves to hide under his favorite chair and waits for us to find him.  It is fun to watch him

dig in his toy box to select the perfect toy for his playtime.    


 
I am attaching pictures that were taken when he was 3 months old.  

We love the Santa hat photo!  Chip is now 5 months old and 12 pounds.  .


 
We are very thankful that Chip is a member of our family.  

 
Regards,

 
Anne, Mitch, Elliot and Nick

Hi Deb,
I just wanted to send an update on Daisy.  She has been the most 
wonderful addition to our family. Since the first day we got her she 
has been so good and all of our friends can't believe how well 
socialized she came. Kennel training has been a breeze and it was even 
four days before she had an accident inside. At 4.5 months, she is 
nearly fully potty trained. I have also never been around a puppy who 
loves to cuddle as much as she does. You can't sit on the floor or the 
couch without her coming and sitting in your lap. It is also amazing 
how much she loves little kids. Anytime we are walking her and she 
sees little kids she just wants to run over tp give them a little 
live. In general, we have gotten so many compliments on her-even from 
people who aren't dog lovers!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful puppy!

Hi Deb,
I'm writing to give you an update on Copper (he was Joey in your house, but we really liked the named Copper and it stuck!), the ruby male I bought from you last October when he was five months old. Soon after he was adjusted at home, we sent him to a training school where he learned to sit, stay, lay down, wait for others to go through a door before him, and walk on a leash. I've also taught him to drop his toys when we play fetch and what "go in your crate" means. He's such a smart, lovable little guy! He knows exactly which door to go to in my apartment building when we return from walks. I've gone through some difficult times in the past year, and Copper has been here every step of the way to offer me comfort and love. I don't know what I would do without him. He is very well socialized and always wants to play in the dog park with the other dogs who live around here, and he runs up to people wagging his tail to offer some kisses. A man in my apartment building recently told me that Copper is his favorite dog here, which is a hard task - there are over 40 dogs in this building! I just wanted to thank you for bringing him into my life and remind people to check your "older puppies for sale" page. The dogs on that page are just as wonderful as younger puppies. Copper's fantastic personality is a testament to the care you gave him as a young puppy and his great lineage.

I'm sending along two pictures, one of Copper smiling and another of him taking a bath (he likes baths and LOVES being towel dried after!)

Thanks so much,
Shannon B

To Whom It May Concern:

 
I am writing to highly recommend Deb and her services as a breeder.
My 88 year old grandpa lost his beloved Boxer Bailey to a tumor last week,

and we were afraid for his health because he was so sad. He wouldn't eat and

refused to believe he couldn't have prevented her death. 

We were desperate for a new companion for him. We knew, however, that not any

 dog would work. He is not very agile these days and needed a calm dog. My husband and brother

suggested a King Charles Spaniel. My sister-in-law found Deb's website, and I called her. She was

very kind and honest. When we asked for pictures of the puppy, she immediately sent them.

We could tell immediately the puppy had come from a good, caring, healthy place.

 The puppy and my grandpa bonded right away. She answered all our questions and was very

easy to work with and helpful. Most importantly, she provided us with a wonderful, healthy, happy companion

 for my grandpa. We all love him!

 

Sincerely, 
Cheryl Diedrich and family

Deb,                                                                                                                                                   2/06/09

I just wanted to shoot you an email and thank you for the perfect dog.  We have had Bailey for 6 months now

and couldn’t be happier with our choice of where we got her from.  You obviously have committed a great deal

of time to breeding what we feel as the perfect companion.  Not only is she gorgeous but her personality and

temperament are just what we hoped for.  She is great with everyone she meets kids, adults and other dogs.

 Once we have a larger place we plan on contacting you to get her a playmate.  Attached is a picture from Christmas.

Thanks

Dear Deb,

 

Lori and I want you to know how very special our Cavaliers are to us and how much we love them.

Jack and Dani have become family members over the past year and a half since they came to us. 

I had looked into the breed for some time before we visited you in Minnesota.  It was especially nice

 to find you so close to where I was born and raised.  It did not take long for Lori and Liz, our daughter, to fall in love. 

The afternoon they spent with your dogs in the yard at your farm remains one of the most special days of our lives.

 It was then that we knew these were the dogs for us.  We were so happy to hear just a month later that you had a new litter.

 When Jack and Dani arrived in California two months later our lives were changed forever.  We appreciate the care you took

 to make sure they were safely and timely flown out.  We met them at the airport when they arrived.  They had food,

certification papers, a clean crate and all the details had been handled very professionally.  Our vet checked them

 both the same afternoon and was very impressed with them physically as well as their temperaments.

 

Having now had the opportunity to see other Cavaliers we are very impressed with your breeding program. 

Not only are both our male and female gorgeous examples of the breed and their sex, the most impressive thing

about them is their temperament.  Okay, and their personalities.  They are wonderful around people of all ages including babies. 

They are most definitely a part of our family, spending time with us when we relax and eager to play in the yard with or

without humans and always ready for a walk or run.  They are curious and like to be around us when we are doing

household chores or working in the yard.  They know who is in the house and who is not and will sit at the window

watching and waiting if one of us is leaving or arriving.  They are alert, intelligent, playful, eager to please, friendly,

well behaved, quick to learn and our best friends.  We are convinced it is the care and quality of your breeding program

that is responsible for these very positive traits.  We are now eagerly looking forward to the next addition to our family when

 you send our new puppy in a couple months.

 

I would also like to add how beautiful the coloring and markings are on our dogs.  Jack is our tri color and is too

 handsome for words.  Dani, our black and tan has the most perfect markings and deepest coloring I could imagine. 

She is all girl and beautiful!  We expect our new Ruby to have Rusty’s dark color.  Of course you know we will be

looking to you for a Blenheim in a year or two to fill out the family.

 

We thought you would like to know how much we appreciate what you are doing.  Keep up the good work!

Hi Deb,
 
Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year's.  Thought I'd send you a couple pictures of Sugar in her new

 houndstooth coat she got for Christmas.  She is doing just great.  She graduated from her Puppy Obedience

classes right before Christmas (she has her "graduation cap" on in the first picture).  Then she was spayed last week

 (can you believe she's 6 months old already!) and is recovering just fine.  She's up to almost 14 pounds now,

so I think she's about full grown.

 
Hope you're doing well.

Hi Deb,
 
I really meant to get back to you sooner, but the last week or so has been pretty crazy.  Little Miss Sugar is doing just great. 

She's getting along with the other dogs and loves to play in the back yard with them.  Luckily we've had a nice warm Fall so far.

 She's just about got the housebreaking down.  She cries a little bit when I put her in her kennel when I have to leave,

but I think once she realizes I'm really gone she goes to sleep (or so my roommates tell me anyway!).
 
We are signed up for "Basic Training Level One" classes at the Doggie Day Camp in our area starting on November 15th

 for six weekends.  The trainer was recommended by a girl I work with.  I'm hoping we can learn how to walk on a leash

 together and get some help with "come" and "sit."  I've already figured out that she's really smart and catches on quickly

 to what the other dogs do, but she's also pretty stubborn so if she doesn't want to do something she digs her heels in. 

She's developed a habit of hiding her most favorite bones and toys and sure enough days later she remembers where

they are and goes right over to them (and I don't even know they're there - she hides them really well!).
 
Anyway, I've attached a couple pictures of her I took this weekend.
 
Thanks so much for what you do as a breeder and the care you put into your dogs.  A friend recently bought a miniature

Yorkie from a breeder here in Colorado and it passed away on Saturday.  Besides having hypoglycemia and pneumonia,

the vet said it's heart had grown too big for it's body (the dog was only a little over one pound at 16 weeks).  I think that people

 want smaller and smaller dogs, so the breeders are trying to do that but in this case the poor dog didn't have a chance.

 So of course the friend is heartbroken and the breeder is being horrible to her about the whole thing. 

(And she spent over $2,500 at the vet as well.)
 
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that it is very obvious how much care, thought and planning you give to your dogs and puppies.

 I know that Sugar will grow to be a wonderful companion to all of us in our house.  We already love her so much.

 Everyone that has seen her has instantly fallen in love too.  They all say, "She doesn't look real!  She looks like a stuffed animal!"
 
I saw on your website that you are expecting a new litter in November.  You'll have to send me an email with some pictures

when they arrive.  Did Tommy and Tony get adopted?
 
Thanks again for everything, Deb.  Talk to you later!

 To Whom It May Concern:

 Please accept this as a reference for Deb and My Lovely Cavaliers in Plainview MN.  I recently purchased a wonderful

 Cavalier King Charles Puppy from her and am delighted in all respects.  She was responsive from my first email to her and

provided all the information I needed to make an informed decision about this important purchase.  I checked other references

 and found that she had sold puppies to people around the country and they had had equally good experiences with her and her dogs.

 Our puppy arrived via Northwest Airlines in good health, full of spunk and on his way to being well trained.  The dog had all his shots

and his papers were in order.  I found Deb to be thorough and responsible and I would purchase a dog from her again without hesitation.

 This is our third Cavalier and he is simply adorable.

 If you have any questions, please telephone me for more details.  You will not be disappointed if you decide to purchase an animal from

My Lovely Cavaliers.

 Sincerely,

Hi Deb,

Just wanted to let you know Sammy is doing great! He was neutered a couple weeks ago and has recovered just fine. He is such a sweet heart.

We all love his so much. I remember when we got him from you, you told us that we would be smitten with him, and I thought “Well, of course

you’d say that, you breed cavaliers.” But now I know the truth, and really, I can’t imagine a more loving, affectionate, sweet natured and even

tempered dog. He is just sitting here next to me looking up at me with those lovely warm eyes. I just want to give him a little smooch on the

top of the head. He is so good with everyone – dogs and humans alike. And he’s smart too! At puppy class he was the only puppy who did his

final trick on the first try (and he did a “Play Dead!”) Nobody else did such a fancy trick – they were all doing sits and downsl. Oh, I know,

I am totally biased and think he is the cutest and smartest puppy of all time. Poor Angel (our lab) she just can’t compete – not that she even tries.

She’s perfectly happy spoiling Sammy like the rest of us. If Sam wants Angel’s toy – she just gently hands it to him, If Sam wants

Angel’s food, she just walks away until he is done. I think Angel is a bit Smitten with him as well. Anyway, thanks again for everything.

Alison says that she wants a Cavalier for a college graduation present. So, expect a call from us in 4 years. Warmly,

Lisa and the Mastain clan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Deb,
My daughter Ali and I were looking at your web site and saw cute little Penny.
We keep checking on her and see that she is still up for adoption. We just
love Sammy so much, and would like to get another Cavalier some day. I would
like one and so would Ali. So, we were just wondering how much you are asking
for Penny.

Also, I wanted to let you know that Sammy is doing great. We just finished a
therapy dog class, and Sam passed his Therapy Dog International (and Good
Canine Citizen) tests, and soon we will be visiting children and adults at our
local hospital. He has been on one hospital visit so far, and he was a
natural. He is the most loving and sweet little dog I have ever met - and he
is social and playful and quite a good fit for our active family.

Keep us posted on Penny. Maybe we can convince my husband to adopt a little
girl friend for Sammy.

Warmly,
Lisa

Hi Deb - Just wanted to give you an update on the puppies.  First, I love them, they're wonderful.  They were seen

 by the vet on the day they arrived (10-10-08) and are in perfect health. I had to switch the dog food to Wellness

Super Mix Just for Puppies, couldn't find ProHealth in a nearby store.   They have adapted to it just fine.

They are adapting well to housebreaking attempts, today 75% successful - I consider that pretty darned good!

 I crate them at night and when I'm away from the house.  They don't even cry at night - I think because they have

 each other.  I'm so glad I bought both of them.  The crate is actually a child's play pen with mesh sides, so very safe. 

They're adapting well to collars and leashes when I walk them, although they are whirling dervishes at the moment,

I expect them to settle down soon.  I can't tell you how much I love them.  They were the very best decision, thank you

so much for your help and support while I was making the transition of them from Minnesota to Los Angeles.  Pam

We hope you enjoyed our puppies!!!!!
