Policy
Step 1. If you are not already familiar with cavaliers, please take the time to educate yourself on this amazing breed. It is incumbent upon prospective owners to:
-
Understand the nature and character of the breed to determine if a cavalier is right for your lifestyle. The temperament of the owners is as important as the temperament of your cavalier.
-
Understand the care responsibilities of bringing a new puppy into your home. There are many great resources available for new owners. We recommend information provided on sites produced by the American Kennel Club (AKC), the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), and clubs specifically formed for the betterment of the cavalier breed.
-
Understand their local, state, and federal laws around owning a pet. This not only includes the proper licensing, care and health of the animal, but items such as rental agreements. Failure on the part of the adopter to know and understand any of these ordinances is not justification for the return of your pet for a refund.
