Breeding for Health, Beauty and Sweet Temperament
Dr. Jacobs with Othello
All of our Cavaliers are heart tested by Dr. Gilbert Jacobs, canine cardiologist, Athens, GA. We also test for correct patellas, hips (OFA prelim), eyes (CERF), and platelets. Each puppy comes with a veterinary health certificate from either Dr. E. Kim Furr, DVM or Dr. Nathan Craddock, DVM. Vet references and previous buyer references are available upon request. We have bred Cavaliers since 1981 and this is the only breed that we raise.

This is actually how the most important part of the CERF exam is done. The doctor shines a bright light into each eye and uses the hightech machinery on her headset to see the inside of the eyeball.
