WHO WE ARE

Home of Well-Socialized Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Puppies

Our journey with Cavalier King Charles Spaniels began in 2003 out of a deep desire to help our daughter, Judy Grace, who had autism. At the time, Judy struggled with staying in her own bed through the night, seeking comfort and reassurance. Though her autism hadn’t yet been diagnosed, we knew she needed something more—something we hadn’t yet found.

Then Came Benny – A Life-Changing Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

On a recommendation, we brought home a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, hoping he could provide the comfort Judy so desperately needed. What happened next was nothing short of remarkable. While Cavaliers aren’t traditionally classified as therapy dogs, Benny intuitively understood Judy’s emotions. He became her constant source of peace, curling up beside her when she was distressed, nestling into her lap when she needed reassurance, and always staying close through the night. For 14 wonderful years, Benny was more than a pet—he was a lifeline.

Through Benny, we discovered the incredible gift that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels offer, especially to children and families facing unique challenges. Over the years, more Cavaliers joined our family, each demonstrating the same profound empathy and gentle nature. We saw firsthand how their presence could bring calm to a restless heart and joy to a struggling soul.

Family-Raised Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Puppies for Sale

In 2022, inspired by our own experience, we made the decision to start breeding Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies so that other families could experience the same love, comfort, and companionship. That’s how Judy’s Cavaliers was born.

We raise each litter in our home with love, ensuring our puppies are:
✅ Extremely well-socialized from birth, beginning with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
✅ Exposed to various developmentally appropriate socialization experiences
✅ Crate trained, potty trained, and leash trained before going to their forever homes

We do the hard work so that when you bring home one of our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies, they are well-adjusted, confident, and ready to provide unconditional love and steadfast comfort.

Our Mission – Providing Cavaliers for Families with Special Needs and Trauma

Many of our puppies go to homes where special needs, trauma, or emotional healing are part of the journey—and nothing brings us greater joy than seeing the difference a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel can make.

Judy Grace, now older, plays an active role in caring for the puppies, helping them transition to their new homes. It’s a full-circle moment—one that started with Benny and continues with every puppy we place.

After our 11 yr old Cavalier Hugo passed last May of severe MVD we began the search for another puppy. Bentley, our now almost 12 yr old Cavalier was sad and we thought a new puppy would help him. After looking at a few sites we came across Judy’s Cavalier’s and put in a call. Claudia responded quickly and answered all of our questions, especially concerning the health of the parent dogs. She informed us that both parent were cleared healthwise. She also informed us that they were expecting two litters in September. We quickly put our name on Gracie Joy’s wait list. She FaceTimed us when the pups were born and we quickly pick ours out. We decided to take a trip out to see them in person when they were only 4 days old. We continued to FaceTime Claudia and Chuck once a week until we pick him up in December. We are so in love with Oliver. We continue to FaceTime them at least twice a month and are planning another trip to see them and let Oliver see his family. We highly recommend Judy’s Cavalier’s to anyone looking for a beautiful and wee trained puppy. Frank and Donna

We adopted our Gracie Joy from Judy's Cavaliers and brought her home on November 25th. The first time I spoke with Claudia I knew I contacted the right person. We actually went up to their home before our Gracie Joy was born and became good friends with the family and also with Momma Gracie and Callie. We would Face Time and talk about the puppies every chance we had. Chuck, Claudia and Judy Holt at Judy's Cavaliers are the BEST!!!

The moment we contacted the Holts inquiring about a puppy, the communication and information flowed. From the initial FaceTime, when we first met “our girl” (nearly 3 weeks old) to pick up day and beyond, they consistently shared her progress and development. They sent pictures, videos and texts. We FaceTimed and had phone conversations. We also had a wonderful visit when our pup was about 6 weeks old and met her mama and siblings.
Our Birdie Mae is now 4 months old, healthy and social. She is a great listener and learns so easily.
Claudia, Chuck and family truly love their dogs and each puppy. Their caring and commitment is evident in all that they do. We were very lucky to have worked with them and highly recommend Judy’s Cavaliers.

We have had a great experience in dealing with the Holts. They were available and answered all questions, provided ongoing interaction until our puppy was available.we have had her for 3 weeks now and following her first vet visit at 12 weeks was healthy. She appears to be very smart and sociable. I would highly recommend them!
