About Windgate Cavaliers
Dedicated to breeding exceptional Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
Located in rural South Dakota near the Minnesota border, we raise healthy Cavaliers that are stunningly beautiful and smart, with perfectly correct chunky heads, melting chocolate eyes, silky coats and playful delightful movement and temperaments.
Our Journey
The Beginning
When we first started out looking for our first pet Cavalier, we found it very difficult to find quality Cavaliers that were healthy and had correct conformation.
Vision Formation
We decided to establish a breeding program focused on producing Cavaliers that meet AKC breed standards with proper head type, expression, size, silky coats, and color markings.
Today
Our focus remains on conformation, proper color markings, and above all, health and temperament. We plan every breeding carefully, with attention to health, nutrition, and prevention of genetic traits and diseases.
Our Commitment
Cavaliers are playful clowns trying to delight you or emotional sponges that provide quiet love and support when you need it most. As a buyer, we encourage you to research the breed and breeder carefully before purchasing your future friend and companion.
