Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
All our puppies are raised in our family home with the usual sounds and interaction from us and other dogs. Each puppy raised here at Melvatar receives lots of cuddles and individual attention,this is a very important part of their early socialisation program.
Health
We endeavour to breed from dogs which meet the breed standards that are healthy and free of genetic defects, so all our Breeding dogs hold current health certificates and are thoroughly Vet checked before breeding.
Home environment
We live in an idyllic country area on 5 acres and have plenty of room for dogs to go out and play and be themselves when they are not inside sitting on the couch.
Included with our puppies
When puppies leave us for their new forever home they will come with a puppy pack including dog blanket, vaccination certificate, microchipped, puppy health certificate, including folder with all the information for raising your puppy and once you take your puppy home we are still available for your ongoing support.

Genetic TestCurly 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 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).
