It all began on a sunny afternoon on the beaches of Etretat, in the Normandie Region of France , near where we lived. Traditionally, we spent our weekends together as a family, sightseeing in this beautiful, picturesque country. This weekend, however, the eyes of my daughter were not on the sites, but on a Cavalier pup who enthusiastically greeted her on the beach…

The friendliness, gentleness, and beauty of this pup captured her heart and mine forever.
I soon found myself reading all about the breed, attending shows, and talking to breeders. Anybody walking by us with a Cavalier had to stop and endure my 100 questions and petting of their dog! I was convinced this was the perfect breed for us! We were fortunate to meet quality breeders who guided us in choosing a Cavalier. Over time, however, we realized we were unable to stop at one, but desired one of each color!

The adventure was just beginning, however, we discovered we were being transferred to America ! So, on the plane we went kids, dogs, and all!

Since, our arrival to the U.S., we have been welcomed by the Cavalier world, registered our dogs AKC and CKCSC, USA, and have been helped by many people who have the same goals; to love, protect, and enhance the breed.

Our goal is to breed healthy, happy Cavaliers and to conform to the breed standard, with beauty, personality, and longevity of the breed as our priorities.

In closing, we are grateful to all the breeders in France who entrusted us with quality Cavaliers. Our hearts desire has been greatly fulfilled as we go through life's journey with our Cavaliers by our side. We thoroughly enjoy them and all the love they share with us.

May you one day discover this breed first hand! Until then, thank you for visiting with us and please stop by again and see what's new at Grandville Cavaliers!
