Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Socialising, setting behavioural boundaries and desensitising puppies is extremely important to raising a happy confident dog. A wide range of desensitising includes sight, sound, scent, touch. Puppies desensitising starts at a young age with your breeder. We handle puppies multiple time a day for cuddles, play time…
Health
Prior to breeding, parents must pass the following health screens to enter the breeding program. Health screening parents prior to breeding ensures that we are promoting highest quality puppy possible. Although testing does not eliminate all risks associated in a breed, it does significantly reduce hereditary diseases.
Home environment
Our puppies are raised in a loving home environment indoors and supervised for outdoor play. Puppies will meet the other members in the pack as they get older.
Included with our puppies
Puppy packs will include an engraved name tag, bed, puppy pads, toys, pet wipes, collar, fitted harness, lead, food samples and a fleece blanket that has siblings and mums scent to help comfort them in a new environment.
Health Tests
Core Tests(1/1)
Cavmania Kennels conducts 1 out of 1 core health tests which RightPaw believe are most important to conduct for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Heart Certificate
Physical Test
A heart certificate indicates that a breeding dog has been screened for heart disease such as DCM…
Additional Tests
Cavmania Kennels conducts 8 additional tests available for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Genetic Test
A mutation in the ADAMTS3 gene has been associated with airway disease in dogs. The mutation causes airway swelling and fluid build up which can make affected dogs very prone to breathing problems. There is now a DNA test available in some breeds to identify whether a breeding dog has a mutation in their ADAMTS3 gene. Breeders can use this test to inform their breeding program and help minimise the risk of breathing problems in their puppies.
Genetic Test
Congenital Macrothrombocytopenia (CM) is a mild disease which normally does not have any impact on an affected dog’s health or lifespan but can cause concern if noticed on routine bloodwork without knowing the cause. It is a blood disease resulting in low numbers of very large platelets. There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Curly Coat Dry Eye Syndrome is a genetic cause of eye and skin problems in Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies. The disease also caused an unsually tight curly coat texture. There is a DNA test available to identify if breeding Cavaliers are carrying the gene for Curly Coat Dry Eye Syndrome.
Genetic Test
This is a disease affecting the spinal cord of older dogs, initially causing wobbliness and eventually hindlimb paralysis. It can affect a wide range of breeds. There is now a DNA test that can indicated if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
Genetic Test
This is a genetic neurological condition affecting Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. It causes sudden stiffening of the legs, often causing the dog to fall over and be unable to move. There is a DNA test available to indicate if a breeding dog is carrying this disease. The test is also recommended in Cavoodles.
Physical Test
An eye certificate means the breeder has had their breeding dogs examined by a veterinary ophthalmologist, to confirm they are not affected by any eye conditions which may be passed down genetically to their puppies. If relevant for the breed, it also includes running DNA tests to confirm the dog is not a genetic carrier of hereditary eye diseases, such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA). It includes breeders who have participated in the Australian Canine Eye Scheme (ACES).
Physical Test
These breeders have had x-rays taken on their breeding dogs to assess their ‘hip score’. Dogs with low hip scores have better hips and are less likely to develop problems in the future. Most large and medium sized dog breeds benefit from hip scoring to ensure they are unlikely to pass hereditary hip problems on to their puppies.
Physical Test
Dogs affected by patellar luxation have loose kneecaps that may pop in and out of the knee joint, which can be painful and even require surgery. Having a vet examine breeding dogs for patellar luxation can confirm the dog is not affected, and that their puppies are less likely to develop the condition. Patellar luxation is more common in smaller breeds.

Why we got involved in breeding
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is an amazing breed that is suitable for any age and all fitness levels. Like all breeds, they carry genetic faults which we are aiming to improve.
Our special touch
We pride ourselves not only on quality but start desensitizing puppies at a young age to new smells, sights, surroundings inside and outside around the home, we introduce regular grooming and start basic training with toilet training and wearing collars/harnesses ready for walking after their final vaccines when they…
