Smith Lake Pups King Charles Cavalier Spaniels
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are truly something special. Their gentle eyes, loving hearts, and calm presence make them one of the most affectionate breeds I’ve ever worked with. Our Cavaliers are 100% purebred and raised with great care, intention, and plenty of hands-on love from the very beginning.
The puppies you see below are still here with us, enjoying daily interaction, early socialization, and thorough veterinary care as they prepare for their next chapter. Outside of extenuating circumstances, we anticipate each puppy will be ready to go home on the pickup dates listed. These early weeks are incredibly important to us, and we take our time making sure every Cavalier feels secure, confident, and loved.
There’s a quiet tenderness to Cavaliers that’s hard to describe until you’ve known one. Their gentle eyes, patient hearts, and deep loyalty make them incredibly comforting companions. Being part of their beginning and seeing the peace they bring to their families means the world to me.
If you’re drawn to a Cavalier and want to talk about whether their calm, people-focused nature fits your home and lifestyle, I’d love to have that conversation with you.
