Dams

Hope is our esteemed Dam from Brachttal, Germany, bred by Anika and Stephan Stahl of Cavaliere vom Kaninchengarten which means  “Cavaliers In the Rabbit Garden”. She has a wonderful pedigree. Her nickname is Schatzi, because she is our little darling. Her siblings include littermate and Grand Champion I Want to Break Free vom Kaninchengarten "Freddie"; multiple BIS, BISS, and International Champion Paddington vom Kaninchengarten; and Grand Champion X-man vom Kaninchengarten "Logan". We have very beautiful and healthy puppies from our pairings with Hope. It’s a great honor to have her as a part of our family.

Hope came with full breeding health certifications from Europe. We have registered Hope with the AKC, and completed her embark genetic and ofa heart, patella, eye, and PennHIP health certifications. She will achieve her CHIC certification in Spring 2026. All our puppies are AKC Registered with limited registration. 

Our little Schatzi is a great Momma! She had her first litter of six adorable babies in August 2025. Five girls and one boy. All beautifull and divine! She had her second litter in February 2026. Three handsome boys. Schatzi's next litter is planned for 2027.

Dam Katie Scarlett O'Hara of Thunder Pups Farm is a beautiful Tri-Colored Cavalier with excellent lineage and Pedigree. We have obtained all age appropriate ofa Health Certifications to confirm she is well suited for our breeding program. Katie has completed her preliminary basic cardiology and Patella clearances. She has also passed both her ACVO Eye and PennHIP clearances. We will continue her eye and heart clearances annually, as we do with all our breeding dogs. Katie will recieve her CHIC certification in Spring 2026 before age two. Her embark genetic testing can be viewed here.

She is a little spitfire with endless energy. She came home as Bella was weening of her first litter and Isabella is so sweet with Katie. Now Katie is baby sitting Willow and plays all day with Hope. Cavaliers have the biggest hearts tucked away in those tiny fur packages. All LOVE!!! When you have one, you'll know.

Katie is ready to mate for her first litter at her next heat cycle Spring of 2026 for puppies to go to new homes in Summer 2026.

We are excited to introduce our first legacy Thunder Pup! We could not part with Isabella's last born little girl.

Genetic diversity is one of our top priorities for Cavalier preservation. Bella, and now Maggie, has the lowest COI, coefficient of inbreeding, of any other Cavalier we have found. This includes searching within the national embark genetic database. Isabella and Maggie have a COI which is 10% lower than the average Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. If you know us, you understand that we do not "line" breed our dogs. Line breeding is when close relatives are bred. In humans we call that in breeding, and it has devastating consequences for progeny. 

Little Maggie is special to us. We have great hopes for her. She has a well-planned and prestigious Pedigree from her Dam and Sire with Grand AKC and World BIS Champions. She is AKC Registered and will be fully OFA/CHIC Health Certified before we breed her. Of course, Maggie will not be an adult until Winter/Spring 2028. For now, we are enjoying watching her grow.
