*Note: Estimated due dates can be off by as much as 10 days or more and up to 2 months based on the natural cycles of the mother dogs and when they’re bred.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
Puppy Price
$3450 less $300 deposit to reserve (updated as of 12/1/2020). Balance due ($3150) 2 weeks prior to puppy go-home date.
Where are you based?
We are based in Ohio, USA
Do you have any puppies available?
Yes. Our goal at Golden Cavaliers is to help puppies find their forever home before they’re born. So, we have planned our puppy births and go-home dates through the end of the year. If you’re interested in a golden cavalier puppy, simply follow our process.
Golden Cavaliers are a crossbreed, and therefore, don't have a standard size. Weight averages can vary widely from 25 - 50 lbs for half Golden Retriever and half Cavalier. For smaller pups, you may want to consider a petite Golden Cavalier litter, who's averages are estimated to be 15 - 30 lbs.
Accepting puppy Reservations for 2023.
We breed both Golden Cavaliers (other names include ‘mini golden’ or ‘comfort retriever’) and Golden Cavadoodles. Our Golden Cavaliers are 50% Golden Retriever and 50% Ruby Red Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The Dams (mothers) are Golden Retrievers and the Sires (fathers) are the Ruby Cavaliers.
Our Golden Cavadoodles can either be 50% Ruby Cavalier x 50% Mini Goldendoodle (Molly pups) or 50% Golden Cavalier x 50% Mini Poodle (Gertie pups).
Both the adult dogs and their puppies are socialized with children from the ages of 1 – 21.
Our litter lists are now open for 2022. If you have sent in your application, we will respond as soon as we can - currently, all dates are ESTIMATES only - and are subject to change.

What’s your process to reserve a puppy?

Considering training your pup to be a Therapy Dog? Ask about the Canine Good Citizenship training created and developed by the AKC. Steve’s got you covered, and can train your dog to be prepared for the CGC test. The goal of any training is to ensure your dog is well-behaved around new people and environments, even if you’re not with them.
