hello there!! we are looking to add a dog to our family and have finally decided on a cavalier king charles (after much research)!! we are in victoria and i'm interested to know any breeder recommendations please, plus any advice, tips, anything, the good, the bad, the ugly. thank you so much xo

hello, just looking for some info/recommendations for lab breeders. we live in melbourne but would be happy to pay freight for the right dog from an excellent ethical breeder. we are not ready for one yet, but will be looking to get a puppy in the next couple of years. i am starting to do my research now as it is a huge decision so i want to make sure i get the right match for our family. we live on an acre and have two active young sons. one of our sons has high functioning autism, and we have been told that having a dog would be great therapy for him and someone for him to bond with. we have one cat who we all love dearly. we are obviously looking for a kind natured and gentle type dog. is there any differences between male and female labs? can anyone recommend a breeder that would suit our needs? thank you

thanks again, i will have a good read through the breed page later tonight with a cup of tea or two! can i ask for any suggestions of reputable breeders on here? or is that not allowed?

thank you so much for all your replies :) i will definitely go for a pure breed now. i assume that if i find a breeder on this website that is nearby, that would be a good place to start? i will check out tibetan spaniels now too. i think i would prefer a small dog so i don't think a basset hound would be a good match :) i have only ever had bigger dogs- lab x,and golden retriever - this was long before we had kids though. now i would like to go for a small breed.

Hello, we are looking to get a puppy for our family next year. I am doing lots of research to make sure that we get the right dog to suit our lifestyle. We live on an acre and have a cat and 3 pet bunnies. i have 2 sons who would love a puppy to dote on and adore- they are 4 and 5 years old. we would love a dog that fits in with our family, likes going for leisurely strolls but also just loves to chill out in front of the fire watching a dvd. would a king charles be the sort of breed you would recommend? also, i'm assuming that a pure bred puppy is much better than a cavoodle or something? thanks so much for your help :)
