What Makes the Cavalier Temperament So Special?

The Cavalier's temperament is their most beloved trait. They are:

Affectionate and Loving: Cavaliers are true lap dogs who thrive on human companionship. They are known for their unwavering loyalty and strong desire to be close to their owners.
Adaptable: Their small size and easy-going nature make them suitable for a wide range of living situations, from apartments to houses with large yards.
Great with Everyone: Cavaliers are known for their friendly demeanor and get along wonderfully with children, other dogs, and even other pets. Their patient and gentle nature makes them an ideal family dog.

The Hillside Forever Paws Difference: Temperament-Focused Breeding

A puppy's temperament is not just a matter of chance; it's the result of ethical breeding and early socialization. At Hillside Forever Paws, we focus on producing puppies with the best possible temperaments by:

Carefully Selecting Parent Dogs: We choose our breeding dogs not only for their health but also for their calm and friendly personalities. We believe that a puppy's temperament is heavily influenced by their parents.
Prioritizing Early Socialization: Our puppies are raised in our home and are introduced to a variety of sights, sounds, and interactions from a young age. They are socialized daily with our family, including children, which helps them develop into confident and well-rounded adults.

Health and Longevity: A Commitment to a Long, Happy Life

A healthy puppy is a happy puppy. The average lifespan of a Cavalier is 9-15 years, and we are committed to helping you bring home a puppy that will be with you for a long time.

Health Guarantees: We provide a two-week health guarantee and a one-year genetic guarantee with every puppy.
Genetic Testing: Our parent dogs are tested for common health conditions to ensure we are breeding the healthiest possible puppies.

How to Prepare for Your New Cavalier Puppy

Bringing a new puppy home is a big step, and we're here to help you make a smooth transition. Before your puppy arrives, you'll want to:

Puppy-Proof Your Home: Secure any items that could be a hazard to your curious new friend.
Stock Up on Supplies: Have essentials like a crate, food, toys, and grooming tools ready.
Establish a Routine: Begin with a consistent feeding and potty schedule to help your puppy adjust quickly.
