As
you start to look and decide who to purchase your 1st or additional Cavalier
King Charles Spaniel puppy from, look at the bloodlines and long lived
health lines of OUR Cavaliers. Here at Rock Cliff Farm, we have an
annual heart-health screening for all of our dogs. When you purchase
your Cavalier Spaniel puppy, he/she should be home raised and trained as
much as possible for easy transition into your home. Most of our
Cavalier Spaniel puppies that are for sale have been litterbox and crate
trained. Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have had early stimulation
training as well as training to conquer any bark problems. The Cavalier
King Charles Spaniel Puppies that are for sale here at RCF come from long
lived healthy lines of prominant champion bloodlines. Our Cavalier
Puppies are our life and they will eventually be your life!
They are loving dogs that require average grooming and care.
They are wonderful therapy dogs. Small toy dogs are used by many
people to help take their minds off health problems and situations.
Dogs have been proven to help as a type of therapy for aging adults in
nursing homes and their own homes alike. We have a several of our "grown
puppies" participating in dog therapy in nursing homes. Our dogs
are very socialized before they ever come to your home. They are
worked with daily to be taught as much as possible so you won't have to
do as much. They will need additional transition training to adapt
to your home, but hopefully that will be easier due to the amount of work
we put into them before you take them home. As you visit our pages,
look at all the information via our links pages to help learn more about
Cavaliers, their health problems that you should be aware of and the wealth
of knowledge we have placed into those pages for you to read.
Enjoy
your life and your new puppy! We love to place our puppies in homes
that will in turn keep us informed of their progress, but it is certainly
not required. We appreciate and understand some people just like
their privacy. Any questions that you have that will help make
your decision on purchasing a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy are encouraged.
ABOUT
ROCK CLIFF FARM
Rock
Cliff Farm is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Puppy
dog
hobby show kennel, located in Lineville, Alabama. We also have a
few English Toy Spaniels and French Bulldogs.
Lineville
is situated in the stunning Talledega National Forest, and is 1.5 hours
from
Greater
Atlanta, Georgia and
Birmingham,
Alabama. It is a wonderful vacation destination, with Cheaha
National
Park being the highest point in the state of
Alabama
and it is only 5 minutes from our home.
Owned
and loved by Terri Easterbrooks.
Terri
has bred animals from the time she was a child. Her guinea pigs and
rabbits
won many ribbons at local fairs. She began riding, then breeding show horses
from
6 years of age. Terri has been in agribusiness her entire life. Growing
up on a
dairy
farm, she ultimately worked for Purina Mills agribusiness division and
quickly
became
a rising star by assisting her clients in every way in order for them to
prosper
in
a dying field. In 96, Terri's life was shattered by a devastating
car accident in
which
she almost died. She had to redirect her life, and could no longer breed
her
beloved
sport horses. Not having been blessed with children, Terri ultimately chose
to
hobby breed Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. They are her entire world and
focus.
Her
adventure began in 1999.
She
started the right way, buying her 3 foundation dogs from the very best
kennels, with outstanding heart bloodlines. Terri health tested them for
all known congenital defects. She
finished
4 Champions very early on, and to date has over 8 Champions, with
many
on their way towards their AKC Championship titles.
Terri's
focus is on health, type and temperament. In 2008, Terri imported
some
important
dogs whose sires and dams have been mri cleared for syringomyelia.
She
also fundraises for health on her website, and is a founding partner of
the
Cavalier
health foundation.
Terri
uses the early stimulation technique to ensure all puppies have excellent
coping
skills
for the rest of their lives. To read more, go to breedingbetterdogs.com.
You
will often see Terri's dogs being shown by her handlers Carol and Wally
Rice
in
the south or Cherie Schmitz in Michigan.
She
continues to show under her own affix Rock Cliff Farm, and wishes to thank
all
of her mentors, handlers and other breeders who have shared their
bloodlines
to help make Terri's breeding and show program a success.

Rock
Cliff Farm Cavaliers that are pictured in the 2nd Edition....
I
am proud to announce ALL Rock Cliff dogs, including the Frenchies and the
English
Toys have passed their health clearances for the 2009 year.
We
only have 4 dogs that are retired and in their teens that show any evidence
of mvd.
Terri
is dedicated to the Cavalier Spaniel and their health and longevity.
We
had our 2nd AKC inspection in 3 years on July 28th, 2009. Thank you so
much to
Inspector
William Dely of AKC. He was a delight to work with. We passed
all
paperwork, dna, microchipping, cleanliness, and shelter for our beloved
dogs.
It
is a huge stress to have an inspection. We have passed BOTH times.
We
will continue to be diligent in our breeding program so that anytime an
inspector
gives
us a days notice, we WILL pass.
