Hello, I'm Vicky H.

I'm Vicky Hansen , owner and founder of the Australian "Petite Cavalier" breeding program. I am a married mother of 3 beautiful children aged 13, 10 and 2. We are fortunate enough to live on a 5000 acre working sheep & cattle property on the Southern Downs in Qld . Our family love the life on the land, the quiet serenity, surrounded by wildlife and the natural beauty of the land, we are a quite recluse family and enjoy each other's company. We live a very simplistic life, with no want or need for anything more then what we already have, we don't believe in having fancy cars or a fancy house, or a million material items, we make do with what we have and we are always content, happy and grateful of the life we have. My life revolves around my husband, children and my Petite Cavvie breeding program. I am extremely devoted and passionate about what I do, it is MY LIFE. One of many of my goals with my program, is by providing companion assistance dogs, to help those with special needs / mental health issues, as I, myself have PTSD , my son has ADHD , and I know first hand how much our Cavaliers help us every single day with our struggles. I love receiving updates from our puppy owners/ special needs homes, on how much their lives / high needs children's lives have changed for the better since our babies have been apart of their families. We have quite a few police officers that own our babies for the mental health aspect, high needs children with Autism/ADD/ADHD , also retirement villages - assisting/ accompanying the elderly and frail. I also have an exceptional amount of knowledge on diagnosing and treating ill animals of most species, not just doggies, and I enjoy helping out other breeders, owners, and large livestock property owners, with diagnosing and treating their sick or injured animals , free of charge, when Vets are unable to find a diagnosis, this is my specialty and I thoroughly enjoy the problem solving aspect , along with being able to cure/treat the animal . I also hold my wildlife carers license and rescue injured wildlife, catch difficult patients in sticky situations in the bush , along with raising orphaned wildlife and livestock . It brings alot of warmth to my heart knowing I'm able to help the helpess and those In need. Our dogs and other animals are not just "pets" to us, they are all our children and we treat them as such, and love them as equally as we do our 2 legged human children 😅 Oh, I am also a Mum to 4 very sooky and cuddly miniature pigs 🐖 😄 you will see photos of them from time to time on our facebook page "Hansen's Petite Cavaliers".
