Additional Tests

Chockwoods Cavaliers conducts 5 additional tests available for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

dna iconGenetic 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.

dna iconGenetic 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.

About the Breeder

A little about us

I’m a small breeder with a special interest in all things chocolate…lol. I imported a chocolate cavalier from the US in 2021 and am passionate about introducing new lines to ensure the longevity of the breed in Australia. All dogs are health tested and with Cavaliers known to have issues with MMVD I am working…

Why we got involved in breeding

I have always kept dogs and horses and have had bred many high level horses for competition, with age I have slowed up with the horses and increased my interest in my dogs but they are all absolutely my pets first and all live as pets in my house as do the puppies.

Our special touch

All of my breeding dogs are also used for therapy/companion dogs as I work with the mental health industry. This means the temperament of the dogs I have is essential. All pups are socialized well with other dogs, children and are exposed to many different things in order to produce confident and happy puppies that…
