Testimonials

Note: I believe ethical breeders will readily make available to you their references. I decided to do a testimonial page as my reference page. These are the actual emails/pictures that were sent to me. I have also included the adopter's email addresses in case you would like to ask more questions. (Any breeder can create a testimonial page but the only way to be sure the statements are factual is if they have also included the author's contact information.)

I would like to personally thank the following adopters for being so wonderful to work with and for giving my puppies the best homes imaginable. It is so hard to part with my babies but knowing they are living with such wonderful people and being "spoiled" rotten makes it all worth while! :o)

Congratulations to Betty and "Kingston Sir Ricky of Seabrez"
for winning BEST OF SHOW & BEST of BREED! Also a 4 point AKC major!
Ricky is the son of our own Cayman and Carly!

Hi Becky, all is going well. He is more and more confident every day. Doing great with crate training, still working on potty training, not too many mistakes, but we take him outside a LOT! Hope you’re doing great! We will never own another breed! They are amazing, Boomer has brought such joy to our lives. The outdoor cat loves him and they are so cute together. As soon as Boomer goes outside, he starts looking for her, yesterday he jumped on top of her and landed on her back and she just let him lay there on top of her! She lets him lick and chew her ears. He is catching up in size but she is still the boss, but you can tell she puts up with his youthful exuberance, to a point! Ha ha. The indoor cat is still trying to get used to him but they are doing better – they kind of quietly ignore each other, but when Boomer gets rambunctious, he usually pushes it a little! Ha Take care and keep breeding these wonderful dogs! Allison allison.swink@liveonwaterfront.com

I had to tell you that we just got back from traveling by car to visit with family for a week – went through 10 different states! I was a little apprehensive about traveling with such a young pup, and changing his environment when he was so newly potty trained. But I can’t imagine ANY dog traveling better. He slept in the car almost the entire trip, and if he was awake, he happily chewed his toys. If he whimpered, we knew we needed to stop NOW for a potty break! He adapted to my in-laws house, and two different hotels like he traveled all his life! He quickly learned where the new door was and went there when he needed to go out. No accidents!!! We took him with us to a HS football scrimmage and everywhere we could. It just couldn’t have been easier! Of course we were constantly stopped by people asking what kind of dog he was, and commenting about how cute he was. My in-laws were smitten and I think they’ll be calling you when they are ready for a dog. I also just received an e-mail from a friend who knows someone looking for a Cavalier and wanted to know the breeder we used. Take care!

Boomer and his best buddy, Josh

Hi Becky and Happy New Year..

Our Ollie is the sweetest puppy. He traveled to GA without incident. He sleeps about 6 hrs at night before he wakes up to potty.

We saw the vet Wed. PM and he had only positive things to say. He read your take home instructions and concurred with your advice. He is very positive about Eukunaba puppy food. We will continue that, even using for training treats. He thinks too many different proteins can compromise a puppy's immune system. He complimented your worming and shot procedures. No shots this visit and he will include lepto in the shot in 2 weeks. He was in agreement to delay flea treatment until 12 wks or even 15 since we don't have other animals in the house and it is cold outside.

Ollie weighed 4.6 lb. Everything physical is fine. He has learned his potty place and goes on command and then comes for treat. Smart Boy...

Thank you again for your part in helping us to have this wonderful addition to our life. Kathy jmmcgill2@bellsouth.net

Becky, You can use Jamie on your web site! His Sire was Castlemar Cayman and the Dam was My Lady Marlee both of Kingston. We think that you do a good job of breeding and that you have a great love for the Cavalier Breed. We are very happy with Jamie. Jamie has been to Dogtrain for three sessions of a week each and responds well to vocal directions. He loves Valerie and myself and is a tail wagging squirming ball of love whenever you come home. Charlie and Val Johnston vjohnson2@ec.rr.com

Becky, Was just thinking about you and wanted to thank you for our precious Tess. You have no idea how much joy she has brought to our home. We love her! Thanks Becky, hope you and your family are well. Ellen Hastings mhastings@sc.rr.com

Tess

Abby is doing great. She has so much personality. And soooooo loving. She is a joy and adds so much to our lives. We went to the coast in October & took her with us. She really enjoyed seeing everything,... trying to catch sand fiddlers and wanting to taste everything that she could get in her mouth. I'm attaching a picture that we took while there. Also, there is one of Gracie & Abby. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas! Verona jones.rv@embarqmail.com
(Gracie was purchased from Kingston Cavaliers 7 years ago by Verona's son Will see testimonial page 5)

Hi Becky! I wanted to email you to just let you know what an absolutely amazing year I have had with my little pup Luther - one of Marley and Cayman's babies! October 1st was his 1st birthday, we celebrated with a doggie cake made out of canned food and his name written in peanut butter. I am happy to report that each time we go to the vet, they rave about how healthy he is. They have asked for his breeder's name and I've eagerly passed along your information.
My life (and Luther's) has taken a few unexpected turns the past 6 months. Throughout all of the changes in my life lately, the 16 pounds of fur that is currently sitting on my lap has been the biggest source of comfort for me. I have had a great support system through friends and church members, but nothing compares to coming home to his wagging tail and loving kisses.
I have tried to expose him to as many different experience as possibly, especially while he is young. He is the neighborhood celebrity! He has not met a dog or person that has not fallen in love with him. The neighborhood kids knock on my door asking if I can bring Luther out to play with them! My favorite part of the day is the second he realizes I'm awake in the morning. From day 1 he has been really good about sleeping through the night and not waking me up. However, as soon as he knows that I'm awake, he burrows his little nose under my shoulder and playtime starts! My morning exercise involves rolling onto the floor and having a good 10-15 minutes of wrestle time with him - I'm not sure who enjoys it more!
I could not have dreamed of a better travel companion! This past spring we took a trip to Boone, NC and did quite a bit of hiking and sight seeing. Luther loved every minute of it, and then slept so well for a week! He has been to the beach a couple times and enjoys chasing waves. I have also brought him to a local lake and let him go in the water - he loves to swim! He has made the trip to see my parents in New York three times so far - twice by car, once by plane. I think he is more patient while riding in the car than I am! He was able to ride in the airplane cabin with me, and the flight staff kept commenting how well behaved he was.
I know I don't need to tell you just how affectionate he is, I'm sure you know all too well how loving cavaliers are. He is just simply the BEST dog!!! Since picking him up, the day after Thanksgiving last year, I have not spent a single day away from him. However, I will be flying to New York for Thanksgiving and the only airline I could gets tickets for won't allow dogs to fly, so he will stay here with a friend. It seems silly, but I'm already really dreading being away from him! I'm attaching a few pictures of Luther from the past year. he is no longer the 4.5 lbs of fluff that he was when I first picked him up, but he is just as loving!!
Thank you for giving me such a great gift and friend!! I just love him to pieces!!!
God Bless, Amy Masterman amy.masterman@gmail.co

This is Harley, now about 7 months old, a member of our family and my partner. He anxiously waits for our walk every morning and goes everywhere that a dog is allowed. When we shop in Lowes home improvement he rides in the cart and understandably gets lots of attention, and Harley is well known at the Trent River coffee house. When we are working in the yard he follows us around and some times tries to help more than we want.

Harley has yet to meet a stranger, dog or people, loves everybody and for the most part it is returned in kind. He loves to ride in the car, we purchased a doggie car seat so that his harness can be secured for safety and he can see out as we go. He looks around , sleeps and is always eager to be on the go for a ride. Harley has changed and enhanced our lives. George germ13@suddenlink.net

Everything is going really well with Teddy! He is so smart! When I call him over and say "Up," he turns around in front of me (facing away from me) and gets into position! It's so cute! Potty training is going very well also! He is the sweetest, most loving little guy, and we're all crazy about him! I've attached a picture of our granddaughter, Samantha, with Teddy. It was taken Friday after his first bath! Feel free to use it on your website if you like. Hope all is well with the new litter! Thanks again for everything! Marilyn Hardee marilyn@jhardee.com

Becky, Great talking with you this morning... we are SO EXCITED about getting a "brother" for Ruble!!! Ruble turned 10 months old on 9/23/09... he is GORGEOUS and SO SWEET.... we call him our little rock star because everybody always crowds around him whenever he goes out in public with us... Here are a few recent pics of our little man... Tanner can't wait to get Ruble in the family... of course, Mark Logan and I are just as excited! Thanks for all that you do to bring so much joy to the lives of others through these wonderful pets... We look forward to seeing you on Sunday 11/29/09 to get "Domino"...
Take care.. Donna and Mark dmlyles@gmail.com

p.s. re: pictures--- first couple are from our family "fantasy football" draft get together... Ruble stayed right in the middle of us... "sacked out" on the couch.. his favorite place... Tanner is in one of these pics as well right beside him... the second few are from Ruble's first "NC State" home game trip...(he is a GREAT travel companion) everytime I pointed the camera toward him he automatically sat and posed.... too funny!!

Hi Becky!

I just thought I would write you a short email to let you know how well our Blarney (Farrah and Cayman's pup) is doing. I can't believe he is 6 months old already, the months are flying! He is a dream puppy. Scott and I can hardly remember what our lives were like without him. Certainly not as interesting=) He is such a sweetheart! His tail never stops wagging, he love to kiss faces, and he adores attention. He is a relaxed and laid-back dog, yet loves to play and run around. Everyone he meets falls in love with him! I think we have converted all of our family members to cavalier lovers! I couldn't ask for a better experience with a puppy, and I have you to thank for that. He has met and exceeded all our expectations, and we couldn't be happier. Hope all is well with you, and all your doggies! We are already thinking about getting another one=) Sincerely, Kim Doyle doyle.kimberly@gmail.com

PS- The pictures are from last weekend at the beach, he loves to run!!!

Becky, We took Barney to his doctor on Monday. He is healthy as can be. He loves to ride in the car and look out the window, so I got him a car seat. We ride into town every morning to check the mail a get a biscuit. I let him taste the meat on the biscuit, so now, he gets excited when I put him in the seat. His seat is on the back seat of the car...just like a human...so, he can see both of us, and he is protected in case the air bag deploys. Here's a picture of Barney and his girlfriend, Betty the pink hippo. He really loves her, if you know what I mean. When he plays in the crib beside my desk, I let him have Betty as a playmate. I have discovered that he LOVES classical music. When I play it in the background on my computer, he calms down and falls asleep. Barney is about 80% potty trained. It rained today, so it was not a good potty day. Kat

Hi Becky! We just returned from the vet. Barney weighs 5 lbs. 1 oz. He has really grown! I'll give you a heads up. Friends of ours are crazy about Barney, and they may be in touch with you soon. They have had cocker spaniels before. These pups had to be put to sleep, and it was terrible for our friends. They were not going to have more pups, but Barney is such a good influence, I think they are almost ready. We love our sweet boy, and we wish this kind of happiness for all our friends.
Becky, I had to show you just how beautiful our little man has become. Here he is dressed in his patriotic trunks for our neighborhood 4th of July golf cart parade. Good friends of ours are crazy about him, and they have asked for your contact information. We were delighted to comply. Barney is so good-natured and well-mannered, not to mention handsome,
he steals the show wherever we take him. We are so blessed to have found you. Kat Bivens
Hi Becky! I'm sure you are inundated with these kinds of photos this time of year, but this is just too cute not to share. Our Barney will celebrate his first birthday soon. It's hard to believe it has been a year, but it's also hard to imagine a time when he was not in our lives. We are so thrilled to have found you, and subsequently, to have found Barney. Kat kbivens@carolina.rr.com

Hi Becky, I wanted to give you an update on Sweet Pea's and Dashiel's puppy Rocky. He's a precious, sweet, loving, and beautiful (see attached pics) new member of the family. He has captured our hearts, and I never thought I could love a pet this much. He is fully house trained now and he was neutered last week at 5+ months old. We also had the umbilical hernia repair done and had him micro-chipped. He weighs 11 lbs and checks out very healthy. You were right about the male dogs falling in love with you. I guess we have spoiled him, but he wants me to hold him whenever I'm sitting down. If I'm not holding him and I get up and leave the room, he takes notice immediately and gets up to follow me wherever I go. To sum it up, he loves us and we love him dearly. Thanks for all you do to make it possible for folks to have such wonderful pets. Yours, Carol and David Garrett dandcgarrett@bellsouth.net

Becky, We took little Kinsley to our vet, everything was perfect. He is doing well and has adjusted very well he sleeps with Madison and Copper. The two dogs are best friends; they chase each other around the house. Thanks Bill Zaphiris
Becky, Just checking in, little Kinsley is a year old now 8/8/08, he is doing great. Bill, Helen & Madison bzaphiris@pamtrading.com
