Breeder Referral

Purpose:

 

To help potential puppy buyers locate a breeder in their area. To help breeders find wonderful homes for their puppies, to educate new Cavalier owners about the breed, and to inform them about our local Cavalier breed club.

While all of these breeders are members of our club, the club does not guarantee that all of them will meet your personal standards. Therefore you must take the responsibility to do your own research.

Guidelines:

 

Our club has an extensive Code of Ethics, which applies 100% in this Breeder Referral Program. Please read the Code of Ethics page as it has a definite impact on what is expected from the breeders that participate in the Breeder Referral Program.

 

The following are additional guidelines for the Breeder Referral Program:

a.) All Cavaliers, adults and puppies, are to be kept in clean and sanitized conditions with proper home care.

b.) An OFA "clear" heart certificate on the mother and father of the litter must be provided to new pet buyers. These should be renewed every year.

c.) A CERF certificate from the Canine Eye Registration Foundation. These certificates are only valid for one year from the date of examination.

d.) All puppies must be registered with the American Kennel Club.

 

Puppies are not allowed to leave before the age of eight weeks and are to be accompanied by the following when they go to their new homes:

 

a.) Written sale agreement

b.) Feeding instructions

c.) Shot and worming records

d.) Current Certificate of Health signed by a Veterinarian.

e.) Pedigree showing at least three generations.

f.) OFA "clear" heart certificates on the mother and the father.

g.) CERF certificates on mother and father.

h.) CKCSC of Greater Houston Membership Application form.

 

Any complaints received by the board of directors will be taken very seriously. The complaints will be referred to the Breeder Referral Committee for review and recommendation. If appropriate correction is not resolved, the offending breeder will be dropped from the program.
