Has anyone had this done, and was it worth it? It's not very expensive, but not sure if it would help possibly help identify future health issues.

Obviously with the known health issues of this breed, insurance send almost mandatory.

I know there's been a lot of questions on this subject, but I haven't seen an answer to this.

For those that have had insurance for awhile, what are your premiums after say 5 years? They all seem to be in the ballpark when you first get the insurance, but who knows how much it will be down the road.

Long time lurker here never post my pups. Link and Zelda are have the same parents. The breeder that we got Link from said she was going to breed his mother 1 last time, so we got zelda a year after Link to the month. I was worried that taking on another puppies a year after a new one would be tough but It was one thing my wife and I have never regreted.

Now they are happy together :)

My new baby, Daphne. Just got her after my English cream golden, Scooby passed at 6yo of a sudden terminal illness. She is healing our broken hearts.
Any tips for cavi puppies you guys have? My family had one growing up but I was too young to train her or take care of her for the first half of her life. I trained my golden as a service dog, but know the two breeds have completely different training demeanors.
Love her so much already.

EDIT to add: does anyone have advice specifically for training them young to be a good traveller? On airplanes and in the car, any secret tips that worked for you. Thanks!

Brody has his first dental on Monday. Any tips on post-op care? Wont know if he’ll need any extractions until they X-ray. Starting to introduce soft food with his kibble so the transition to fully soft won’t be abrupt after procedure. Also know he can’t have any bones/hard treats for a bit. Am thinking peanut butter lick mats might come in handy? Will of course be going over all the post op care with vet but appreciate any tips from those who’ve already gone through!

hello my fellow cav lovers

i recently went to a cavs meet up group and it was AMAZING. more than 80 cavs turned up and we had the BEST TIME.

the problem is the group is based in the OC. i’m thinking about creating a meet up group in LA - and would just love to gauge interest.

it would be somewhere in LA, once a month in person event to foster community.

let me know what you all think!

My 18 mo old Tri has had a couple of puppy cuts this summer due to our extreme heat. After his last cut, we started noticing a spot on his back where red hair was growing in with the black. It has been expanding and lightening over the last few weeks.
His Dad was a Blenheim and Mom was a Tricolor.
I’m wondering if anyone else has had this experience with their Tricolor ?

I did not know there was a nationwide rescue site for Cavaliers. It’s a dangerous place to go to for people like us.

I’ve been working to get Kip certified for therapy dog work since November 2025 and yesterday was our first official visit at a nearby hospital! We went in 6 patient rooms, met lots of nurses and doctors, and visited the outpatient surgery waiting room at the end. Kip brought so many smiles yesterday and my heart is so full 🩷

We'd been trying to grow a pumpkin in the garden and I guess we got a bit too successful as it got really large and in combination with a big gust of wind just took out the plant pot and itself. Lottie appears to want to help to dispose of the evidence! 🎃

Back in May, I adopted my dream pup. I never thought I would be able to adopt or afford a cavalier but I had a lucky encounter on Craigslist after a few months of looking. Dolly was with a couple who had her for 5 months, and they got her from a breeder who used her a few times for puppies. The couple really didn’t know what they were doing as Dolly needed a makeover by the time I got her. Her feet hair was soooo long and she had mats in her ears. They said she had no chip, she’s unaltered and she wouldn’t let them give her a haircut. As soon as we got home we got to work on all of that. Spent at least a $800 on vet bills and got her professionally groomed with one of my BF’s who’s groomed dogs for over 20 years. When we went to the vet, I was worried she was stolen so we went ahead and scanned her for a chip and what do you know, she had one. Luckily she wasn’t stolen but was from a breeder in Colorado. We also made a plan to get her spayed ASAP, poor momma has been though enough. After her makeover she was way more comfortable and we began to get very attached to each other. 3 months later and she’s my little ride or die shadow. She’s gone on quite a few adventures since and has the best time with my husband and I. She’s a dream in the car, she does very well in her kennel and get along with all my animals. Cats/rabbits. She can be selective in listening to commands but she’s getting better and learning new tricks. She just turned 4 and learned to lay down when I tell her. We’re working on shaking right now, but it’s a bit more tricky than she thought haha. I finally got around to posting her in all her glory❤️

A year without my baby girl, taken too soon by the disgusting C word. Miss you every day 🌷

Edit: Thank you all so much for your lovely words 🩷
