Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Breeders, Upper Hutt NZ

Glengariff Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are synonymous with quality, type and soundness. I purchased my first Cavalier, Millie Mandy a mismarked black 'n tan from a pet shop in Paraparaumu in the mid 1970's and decided she needed a companion. We found a blenheim male for sale and the breeders said "why don't you come along to a show" - that was us hooked, Millie Mandy has a lot to answer for. In 1980 we acquired an English dog Ch Amantra Kings Rhapsody and then having researched the type we loved approached Molly Coaker of the famous West of England Homerbrent Cavaliers and were lucky to purchase Homerbrent Cardinham, the biggest winning Cavalier ever in NZ who was the first NZ Grand Champion. Homerbrent Junesta then joined us and was the mum of the second Grand Champion Glengariff Carnaby. More Homerbrents joined us over the following years and are behind our Cavaliers today. We have recently imported Irish semen, from our friend Michael Hegarty and are lucky to have secured semen from an International Champion Riverdale of an Excellent Choice (Holland) who has sired our two current youngsters making their presence felt. We are proud of the contribution our dogs have, and continue to make to the breed and that other breeders also have success in the competition ring and breed on with them. As well as breeding cavaliers that adhere to the breed standard, charm your heart and eye, we are committed to the ongoing health of our Cavaliers.
