    Charlie just turned 4 years old a few weeks ago. He is a happy and healthy little dude. He brings so much joy into our lives I recommend Cavalier Companions to all my friends

    Six months later we have an amazing dog who is loved by all. He is social with people and pets, is confident, playful and a snugglebug. I've noticed a bad review online for another breeder with the same name. Don't be fooled! Shelby is fantastic and has been an excellent resource and has been breeding Cavaliers for over 16 years. Our guy is the best first family dog we could have asked for. Check out the other yelp reviews. We also did a DNA test on our guy and he was clear of any genetic diseases. Shelby also DNA tests the parents too! Feel free to message me if you want any more information!

    Very thankful to have found my perfect pup through a reputable & educated breeder! His demeanor, temperament and attitude is calm but sweet. This little boy has the biggest heart and catches on to commands quickly. Thank you Shelby!

    We brought our puppy, Willow home a few months ago and she has been nothing but amazing from day one. I'm so lucky to have found Shelby and her puppies when researching breeders. The entire litter was so well socialized and healthy looking. Willow adores everyone she meets. She's become small town famous because she comes to work everyday at my boutique gift shop (Willow + Oak in Cameron Park). Everyone adores Willow! Thank you Shelby for raising my best friend.

    Hi Everyone! My background, I have wanted a cavalier for years and years! We have been a cocker spaniel family since 1985. I spent over a year looking for a legit cavalier breeder. I though I vetted the breeders well and unfortunately was scammed on Facebook...complete devastation. After I knew I had to find a more local breeder in Northern California. I found Shelby her family business, Cavalier Companions. I spoke with Shelby several times, to determine if I felt she was legit after my previous experience. Shelby was kind, and listened to my concerns, answered all questions, and sent photo's of her puppies. I had one on reserve, then I came down with covid, and my husbands business was slow. I sadly I thought it best to cancel getting a puppy. Shelby understood. After Easter we found a Cavalier Meet-Up on Carmel Beach. I went with the intention of seeing all of the cavaliers. It was like heaven on earth. We met a lady who had a puppy from one of Shelby's previous litters, the dog was lovely! On our way home, I texted Shelby, do you still have the little Blenheim girl, and she'd responded yes! I said, we'd love her. April 21st we drove to Grass Valley, to Shelby's home, and met our new baby girl!!!! We could not have been more excited to see this absolutely beautiful puppy. Shelby sat with us and went over everything we needed to know before releasing our puppy, Lexi, to us. Lexi will be 9 months old this month. Lexi is truly the very best puppy we'd ever had. Lexi is affectionate, loving, and loves everyone she meets from adults to children to other animals. Shelby has a lovely home business of breeding top quality puppies. You have found the best breeder you can possibly find with Shelby. We will one day look for a companion puppy for Lexi and we will be calling Shelby at that time. For now, our 9 year old cocker is Lexi's best sister. I will post pictures of our Lexi next. We absolutely love this baby girl. And what is funny is my husband was against a second dog and from the moment my husband picked up this puppy he was in love. You don't need to look any further for your forever puppy, Shelby, is the BEST!!!

    An all around amazing breeder. I contacted her looking for a female Blenheim and ended up taking home the pups brother as well. I've never had such a smooth transition with puppies before. From the first night I could tell she had been taking great care of these babies. Many breeders tell you they start the training but when you get home you don't actually see any evidence of that. Well Cavalier Companions was totally different. They were already so accustomed to the crate there was no crying or fighting they simply went straight to sleep and used the pad side overnight to potty. They were able to use the dog door from day 2 on. They give great advice about food transitioning so you don't have to worry so much about diarrhea or upset stomach and give you enough puppy food for a slow transition to whatever brand you like. I am so glad I found them the experience has been way better than any breeder I've ever experienced. She is so knowledgeable about the breed as well you know you are in good hands. Although nothing can be 100% guaranteed with Cavaliers's they also certify patellae and hearts with specialists while breeding so you can be assured you start out with the best chance of a healthy happy Cavalier. Absolutely no regrets!

    I have adopted two dogs from Cavalier Companions. One in 2016, and one this year, 2021. Our breeder, Shelby, has been amazing with her puppies. Each puppy has been happy and healthy! I recommend her 100%. Shelly is very through with her post addition instructions for care, as well as with health screening, as Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are known for having eye, heart, hip and knee troubles. She provides documentation of all the vaccinations and the OFA Certifications for eyes, heart, hip and patellas. Our oldest dog 5 this year, has no health conditions and all the check ups for our puppy has been given a solid clean bill of health. My family will continue to return to Shelby for each addition to our furry family!

    Cavalier Companions is the only place I will ever go to get a puppy!!! So incredibly trustworthy and the best place to go for a healthy happy puppy !! Our puppy Spencer is everything we dreamed and more for our dog ! He came home and was almost fully potty trained, by a week he was using the doggy door and self pottying himself!! He is perfectly content being held and cuddled all day long but also has a fun and playful side and will play with our children endlessly! Immediately we noticed how well he did with our other doggy and our children ! You can tell how much care went into socializing him into being the perfect pup!!! We plan on getting all of our puppies from Cavalier Companions forever !!

    See all

    I adopted a very beautiful puppy from Crystal aka Crystal's Cotons and it was the best decision I…read moreever made. I went to four other breeders home all within 4 hours of Sacramento and I would definitely recommend Crystal's Cotons puppies over any of the other breeders. Her home was very clean, her adults were are so beautiful, very well cared for, and you could just tell that she treated the dogs and puppies like her babies. Her children were so polite and helpful. The puppies were very well socialized, super soft coats, and everyone (puppies and adult dogs)appeared healthy and so happy. My puppy is thriving and Im so thankful for the love and care she gave her she gave to my puppy. you could just tell that her dogs and puppies were all loved, healthy and cherished members of her family. I will definitely be going back for second puppy when the time is right.

All of my dogs and puppies are treated with love, respect, and kindness. My family, whether we are discussing my Adult Cotons, Puppies, or my Human Children you will soon realize that every child, adult, dog or puppy who lives in this home is a very loved and valuable family member. Family is the most important thing in the world to me, my children are not just my children and my dogs (adult or puppies) are not just my dogs, but they are all my family that I will always love and cherish above all! All of our Adult Cotons have undergone several Health tests to ensure that we are breeding only genetically cleared parents in order to give other families the same joy and happiness that we have been blessed with from having a completely happy and healthy Coton de Tulear dog apart of their home and heart!

I grew up with two Golden Retrievers from a breeder in the UK. When I compare my experiences with them to my experiences with Beary, I can say that I have had a much easier time with Beary. Heather sure knows her stuff when it comes to breeding, and she has the best puppy trainers around. Beary already knew many of the basic commands when he arrived and was trained to go to the bathroom in a litter box. Beary is sweet-natured and funny. Playing fetch with him is more entertaining than watching TV. He has no health issues, is very intelligent, and he's always good but perhaps sometimes just a little mischievous! He learns quickly and is very well-behaved. He's also extremely beautiful, loves to cuddle, and is very caring. There's nothing more I could have asked for. Thank you, Heather, for all you do. My life is much happier with Beary in it.

Our first pup came home with us about three years ago--a male, purebred Shih Tzu with the best demeanor you could ask for. He's been a fantastic family dog and has brought us so much joy. This past November, right around Christmas, we welcomed our second puppy--a Havashu female--and she is beyond adorable. She has beautiful markings, an amazing temperament, and fits perfectly into our family. The two dogs get along wonderfully, which speaks volumes about the care and socialization they receive early on. Daryl and Gwen truly go above and beyond to make sure every person is happy with their puppy and that each pup is loved and cared for like a family member. You can feel how much love they pour into what they do--they are incredibly special people. If you're reading this and considering getting a puppy from them, give them a chance.
