I have two male cavi's and was searching for a petite little girl....and I found her! Connie's dogs (all her cavi's) are sweet and her breeding program is one of the best I have come across. She pre-spoiled Tessa and socialized her so she fit right into our home. Keep up the good work, Connie! We have actually adopted Morgan! The Godfrey's
I just received our female ruby puppy from Connie Taylor a few days ago. She is perfect, well socialized and has settled into our family wonderfully.
When my family and I decided to purchase a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, I contacted multiple breeders from Washington, Oregon and Idaho. When I contacted Connie in April, I hung up the phone knowing my puppy would be coming from her home. Connie is patient, knowledgeable, caring and truly loves her Cavaliers. Being that Connie had no puppies in April, I was able to be a part of Betsy's pregnancy. I received pictures of the litter within minutes of them being born and got updates on the puppies almost daily. Connie gave us much more than the experience of just purchasing a puppy, and for that we are grateful.
Connie will forever hold a place in my heart, as she has completed my family.
If you are looking to purchase a Cavalier and trying to locate a breeder that will absolutely love your puppy, you need not look any farther. Connie will exceed your expectations. Aug. 2009

Simply put Connie Taylor is a fantastic Cavalier breeder and a wonderful friend. I first met Connie at Intermountain Pet Hospital over 7 years ago. We became friends sharing our Cavalier stories. I had a senior Cavalier that we loved and just lost recently. My husband and I knew that when we lost our Nicholas, Connie would be the breeder for our next family member. To make a long story short, we now have a beautiful black and tan Cavalier named Augusta (Guss ). He was so well socialized when we got him; the transition to our home was very easy for all of us. As he grows, he just gets more and more gorgeous. However there is more to Guss than his beauty; his personality is engaging; he’s curious, friendly and fearless. He is like a sponge learning the ropes of how to be a good dog. We know he will grow into a dog no one can forget! We are anxiously awaiting the birth of a ruby Cavalier from Connie’s "Chanel". I have no doubt this Cavi will be perfect too! If you are thinking of getting a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, you should consider Connie’s puppies. She goes beyond the ordinary to ensure healthy and happy dogs. The love and care Connie gives her dogs and her puppies is exceptional. I would unconditionally recommend a Cavalier from Connie’s litters! I’m always happy to have Connie’s prospective dog parents call me for a reference. Aug. 2009 We have added a beautiful red head to our family. Dec 2009
Ginger is the second Cavalier we have from Connie. She joins Guss, who is 4 months older. What a great team they make! We were hesitant to add to our Cavalier family but Connie guided us toward another pup which turned out to be a great idea! Our puppies bonded and make ‘puppy life’ much easier for us. They are constantly together; playing, napping or thinking of trouble! You can’t look at them without laughing and smiling! Ginger is a little Ruby girl who grows more beautiful every day. She is going to be a dark solid red and appears to be on the small side. She is the result of good breeding and great parents; she has perfect Cavalier proportions. We can’t wait to see the adult Ginger! More importantly, she has a curious mind that quickly absorbs anything you might want to teach her. She is gentle, lovable and calm but quick to play and run. This is my idea of a perfect Cavalier personality. I would never hesitate to recommend a dog from Connie. She takes every precaution throughout the entire breeding process. Her dogs live as family members and enjoy the love and care we all wish for every dog. She is available after you take the puppies home to answer questions and even requests emails and pictures so she can see how her puppies are growing. Connie is the best! Feb 2010

Connie, we just came from the vet. The entire office came to a standstill when they saw Bella. The vet told me to tell you that this baby is perfect. She says she can't wait to see her grow up. They have other Cavs in the practice but none with her perfect ruby color. Bella weighs 2.2 lbs. and got her toe nails trimmed even though they didn't really need it just so the vet tech could hold her longer. I say a silent thanks to you every time I look at Bella. We are very happy here!!!!!

I was introduced to this breed at a dog show four years ago. I knew this was the breed for me. I started looking around for an addition to my family and after 3 years of waiting, I came across Connie's website. I sent her a message and told her I was interested. She had just placed a litter in homes so it was time to be patient. I continued to talk with her for five months and knew she was the breeder I wanted to work with. Through our conversations I could tell she truly cared about her dogs. She took the time to educate me on the breed, answer my questions and was very supportive of my plans on getting a cavalier. While Betsy was pregnant we communicated and she shared pictures of a very pregnant Betsy with me. It felt like I was adopting a baby, which I was! On Riley's birthday, I received baby pictures and then got weekly updates and pictures. I couldn't have asked for a more supportive breeder and caring person to work with when adding to my family. When it came time for
me to pick up my boy, Connie invited me to her home to meet all her family and then let me spend time with the puppies to pick the one who would become part of my family. The puppies were well socialized, healthy and happy, as were the rest of her furry friends. I can't recommend Connie highly enough! I am so happy with Riley. I couldn't have asked for a better addition to my family!
UPDATE- I have adopted a precious little black/tan female from Jenny's litter. She will be coming home the end of February, 2009

Two months ago we got our little black/tan named Louie from Connie. We were pretty picky as we sought out a puppy so it took a while for us to find the right type of dog and the right breeder; but it took no time for Louie to become a beloved member of the family. We adore him and we are completely happy with our choice. Also, Connie’s help, before and after we received Louie, has been wonderful. She allowed us to go and visit Louie while he was still growing and even invited us to go to his first visit to the vet. We can call her anytime if we have questions, and she is prompt to return phone calls. It is very obvious that Connie loves her Cavs and their pups. We will always update her on how Louie is doing. Thanks Connie, for helping us find the perfect dog for our family!

UPDATE- We have now adopted our second Cavalier from Connie. A cute little ruby boy!
My Kissing Cavalier, Bentley, will be two years old April 27, 2007. Bentley is a sweet, affectionate, healthy, and energetic little boy who brings joy to my life everyday. I don't think any puppy could have a better start than with Connie and Ron. I have been to their house on several occassions when they have had new litters of puppies. They provide a wonderful environment for the puppies. They have a clean, safe, and soft place for the puppies. The puppies receive excellent health care and Connie or Ron are with the puppies most of the time. Their socialization needs get met through Connie and Ron's other dogs and friends. Connie and Ron have always been available for support and to answer questions about my puppy. In addition, they absolutely love Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and are dedicated to raising happy and healthy dogs!

I have nothing but praise for Connie. My pup came via the airlines in great shape and very healthy and socialized. My Sarah is gorgeous and fit right in with my other Cav's. Connie keeps in touch and goes out of her way to help in anyway. She was a stranger to me but ended up a friend.

We were looking for a male, solid ruby puppy to add to our already 3 Cavaliers, 2 blenheims and 1 tri-color CKCS family. Months later, I found the KissingCavaliers website and that's how it all began! Connie had what we were looking for, our little Tucker. We live where it is extremely hot in the summer. Connie made every effort for us to receive our Tucker, but we were running out of options, so we decided to drive to Idaho to pick up Tucker. We were so nervous about meeting Tucker, Connie and the rest of the family. Connie made our meeting pleasant and had a wonderful time playing with all the babies. I try and keep in touch with Connie and send photos or our blog to her so she can see what a healthy, handsome boy Tucker has turned out to be! Connie, we both want to Thank You for all your help and knowledge of this breed, hope to see you soon. Kisses all around...Ron and Linda, Charlie, Jenny Rae, Sofie and Tucker
I can't give Connie and her puppies enough compliments! My fiance and I fell in love with the breed and after talking with tons of breeders we didn't feel secure, with Connie was a God send! Her puppies are socialized, loved, and extremely well taken care of! We fell in love with the littlest one and do to a remodel on our home we were unable to take him home with us right away, Connie was sweet enough to hold him and take care of him for an extra two weeks so we could ensure him a safe place to call home. We've had little Fang now for about three weeks and he has been the sweetest, and smartest puppy I have ever seen. After taking him to vet he checked out in perfect health...We couldn't be happier! Thank you Connie for all the love and care you showed our puppy, and the great help you've been to Paul and I as well! Torrey & Paul
UPDATE- We came back a couple of weeks later and adopted a ruby brother :)
My husband, three girls, and I purchased our "Bentley" from Connie a couple months ago right after he was born. Since then she has kept us updated daily on his activities and growth, etc. She's been nothing but cooperative and helpful towards us since day one. It's been a great experience. For someone who's never owned a puppy , Connie has made it such a smooth transition for us. Our puppy Bentley is the most laid back, socialized dog I've ever seen and enjoy him fully! We live in Alaska and had to have him shipped here and Connie made the whole shipping process run smoothly too. I have nothing but praise for Connie. I think she is a one in a million breeder and would recommend her to anyone interested in owning and loving a Cavalier. We are SO happy we had this experience and will enjoy many years with Bentley.

My family and I bought our first Cavalier, Bentley, last year from Connie. He's the most adorable ruby Cavalier and very well behaved. At first our family was so afraid of the way our life would change with Bentley entering it, but now we can't imagine life without him. He is such a great companion to all of us, especially me. At night he cuddles on my lap and gives me so much joy. Along with the joy Bentley has given me, Connie has also been a God send into our life. She takes great care of her dogs and puppies and cares very much for the well being of her dogs. You can tell she loves her dogs. We love Bentley so much we decided to buy another Cavalier, this time it's a black and tan one, we plan on naming Apollo. He'll be here next Tuesday and our family is so excited! Life without the dogs was fun, but with them it's a ball. Connie and Bentley have made such a difference in our lives and we anxiously await the arrival of Apollo!

“I just got my puppy from Connie and it’s the best puppy I’ve ever had! She sent me updated pictures of her almost every week and kept me informed of how she was doing and what was going on. Connie is a very accommodating breeder and is always available for questions and help. My puppy is the cutest dog I’ve ever seen and is so playful and happy. She definitely came from a good breeder and family line. I highly recommend Connie Taylor as a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breeder and her dogs are absolutely beautiful and what you would want for an addition to your family.

I just recently got my puppy from Connie. He is a Black and Tan male, one of Jenny's pups. He is a wonderful addition to our family. I already have one Cavalier also a Black and Tan, a female. I love her to death, but my experience with her breeder was terrible. She came to me very much under socialized. So it was important for me to make sure this time I got my puppy from a good breeder. My experience with Connie couldn't have been better. She was so kind, and answered any questions I had honestly. Then when I got my little boy, he was perfect. And first thing I noticed when I arrived at Connie's was how clean she kept the puppy area. Which is so important for easy potty training. Also it was obvious he was well socialized, a complete opposite from my first Cavalier. I can't thank Connie enough! And I would recommend her to anyone. 5-15-09
Thanks Connie, Erika Seals
When my family decided to add a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to our clan, we found Connie through her website and contacted her immediately. There was no doubt in our minds after meeting her that the search ended with her no matter how long we would need to wait, it would be worth it. She is extremely knowledgeable, loving and caring. She is also very selective when it comes to her puppies. I feel like this was so much more than a simple business transaction but more an extension of family. I feel privileged to have one of her puppies. Ginger has brought our family so much new energy and delight! We already can’t imagine life without her! We highly recommend Connie as a breeder, you will not go wrong!
Thanks Connie!

From the first time I e-mailed Connie, she was so willing to help me find my perfect puppy. When she was born, Connie told me, I felt like I was right there with her. Connie told me everything about her from that moment on. She sent me pictures, and e-mails telling me every new thing she did. She is the perfect breeder. I would give her name to any one that is looking for that perfect Cavalier. Even my Vet was impressed with the quality of care that Connie gives her puppies. She said “Impressive, looks like she gave her the best of everything”. I can never thank her enough for the beautiful new member of my family!!
Love Sandy and Martin Bee
Connie:
I wanted to thank you for all of your help with our new little friend who we have named Rudy. It was a pleasure to adopt him from such a nice home and wonderful puppy parents! It sure shows that they are all so very loved. We have decided to add another Cavalier to our home in the future so we would be grateful to receive an email or phone call when you plan to prepare yourself for another litter!! Again, thank you so much and please know we would definitely recommend your lovely pups to anyone!! Mary Mooney and Joseph Gordon
A lengthy search for a cavalier ultimately - and most fortunately - led us to Connie. As a breeder, the passion and love she has for the cavalier are evident. Her professionalism and caring ways were equally so. Prior to bringing our little Bear home to be part of our family (and then falling head over heels in love with the little guy), she was always reponsive to our questions and open to our visiting - along with sending weekly pictures to see his growth. We couldn't have asked for a sweeter, more loving puppy or a more responsible breeder than Connie.
I want to thank you too - a comment long overdue - for the passion and love you've so obviously put into breeding and raising cavaliers. We couldn't have asked for a sweeter puppy than Bear and I know it's because of your caring and careful ways. Thank you so much. Linda Kahn Nov. 2009
We could not be happier with our new Cavalier puppy, Aurelio. My daughter discovered this breed when searching for a dog that would fit our lifestyle and he is perfect! He lives up to everything we had hoped and we have Connie to thank for the wonderful care he received in her home. He is well socialized and loves all of the people and animals he meets. Thank you for our wonderful puppy! Julie Keniry Dec. 2009
Great breeder- Great Cavaliers !! Connie was a lovely person to work with in the purchase of our puppy. She gave lots of information and was very responsive to questions and requests. Our puppy is beautiful and wonderfully socialized. He came to us Paper Trained !!! Debbie Buckner
I just wanted to thank you Connie for the gorgeous black and tan little boy we purchased from you. He is a wonderful addition to our cavalier family. He has check out with our veterinarian to be in tip top shape, and has the best teeth out of all our cavs! It was also great meeting you. You are extremely knowledgeable of this breed, and a lot of fun to talk to about them. I also wanted to thank you for allowing one of our older cavaliers into your home to meet all the babies. It's nice that you stay in contact with us to make sure everything is going well and to offer any advise needed. Letting us take our new baby home early was great too, it is so hard to wait once you have picked a little one out! It is obvious to us how much you care for these puppies and for your own. Feel free to use us as a reference, we have had such a wonderful experience! UPDATE- We came back a few weeks later and adopted a little ruby sister!
We thank you,
Dee and Brandy
