Welcome to our Site! Thunder Pups Farm was established in 2004. Recognized by the AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T. program, we are preservationist hobby breeders of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in Simpsonville, South Carolina. Our purpose is to contribute healthy and strong Cavaliers for Generations; and contribute back to Cavalier Rescue. To preserve the breed, we track our puppies and dogs for their lifetime. It's important to realize that we screen prospective puppy parents to ensure you will be willing to share health and wellness milestones with us for the life of your dog. A quick text update and a few photos at key growth points is all we ask. We are very low volume and prioritize keeping a family lifestyle in our home. 

After over 40 years of fostering and caring for abused and neglected dogs, we are finding so much joy starting puppies out right. We very selectively breed to preserve this breed for generations through careful health testing and genetic diversity. We are not a puppy mill or even a kennel, we are semi-retired hobby breeders also doing rescue work. We are limiting our efforts to be very intentional. 

We are grateful for the support of our family-who helps us daily with caring for our dogs, friends, veterinarians, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Kennel Club (CKCSC) and the American Kennel Club (AKC). We are AKC breeders and follow all kennel club appropriate recommendations. Our dogs are thoroughly genetic, and health checked for eyes; heart; hips and patellas. Our priorities are Health, Temperament and Breed Standard appearance.

We breed females from approximately age 2 to 4. We purposefully retire Mommas early to reduce the risk of breast and other cancers and give them a wonderful life.  We care about each and every puppy we place and when we send them to you they will be pre-registered with the AKC as limited registration and include their AKC Reunite microchip-we'll activate your information on the day of pick up and we will remain a backup secondary contact for our puppies. We want to be certain no Thunder Pup ever lands in a kill shelter. 

Our dogs live in our home as family members, not in an outdoor kennel. Our dogs and puppies are well socialized to living in our home and yours, as you would expect from a good breeder. We feed only the very best raw and cooked animal proteins mixed with Royal Canin kibble, dehydrated raw beef liver and we also feed multivitamins, probiotics, blueberries, and yogurt. Only the best for our Cavaliers. 

Go to our Dam page to see our beautiful ladies and retired Sires.  We share full transparency with health testing via links directly to the OFA on each bio.  As we use outside Sires, you'll find links to all their ofa testing results on the pairings pages accessed through our Future Litters. We do not sell breeding rights on our puppies.
