Glenwood Cavaliers was founded by Patti Wilson who showed and bred Cavaliers for over 30 years. Over the years, Glenwood gained an excellent reputation for health, temperament, small size, and a very special upbringing for our babies. We breed only tested Cavaliers, and research and monitor the entire pedigrees and health histories of our dogs and their ancestors. We also encourage, or I should sa
y, insist, that we be kept apprised of any health issues throughout the lives of the puppies we place. This information helps us make decisions regarding breeding so that we can continually improve on the health of our dogs. Breeding is an awesome responsibility and we take it very seriously. We have spent many years developing our breeding program and successfully breeding healthy, happy, generally small size Cavaliers. Our work begins with the careful matching of each female and stud dog to the dog's death, hopefully at least 12-14 years later. Since, with assistance from God, and the doggy "moms and dads", we are responsible for the "creation" of each puppy; we feel obligated to do everything possible to ensure each pup lives a long, full, and happy life. As part of that program, we remain actively involved beginning with the selection of each mated pair, to the whelping, upbringing, and finally the "very selective" placement of each puppy. We take responsibility for each life from birth to it's passing over the Rainbow Bridge so we remain available to each new family for the life of the Cavalier or as long as we are needed. From day one, our pups are kissed and snuggled and loved and by the time they go home they have been exposed to a rigorous, scientifically proven neurological stimulation protocol which increases confidence and reduces stress and fear. They have been "cautiously" socialized, are well rounded, confident, crate trained, trained to "go poddy" outside on command, they know their new names as selected by their new families and 90% of the time sleep peacefully through the night in their crates. Given the commitment, time, love and hard work we put into breeding and raising the “perfect pets", it should be no surprise that we put the same effort into finding owners who are deserving of the quality we produce and the extra work we put into doing so. We seek owners who are as selective and careful about picking a breeder, as we are about picking our puppies new "forever" families; if you are looking for the shortest waitlist or the cheapest puppies, we are not your breeder. From Patti: Even though my health no longer allows me to breed or show, I have been fortunate in finding Brandy and Tony Saldivar to continue on in the amazing journey I started. Brandy and Tony have lovingly committed to continuing the breeding protocol that I spent years perfecting, without exception.
