Bitterroot Cavaliers

Bitterroot Cavaliers is a Cavalier King Charles spaniel breeder in Hamilton, MT, in the Bitterroot Valley near Missoula. Marijo Delap has more than a decade of experience with the breed and holds membership in the American Kennel Club, following recommended health testing protocols for heart, eyes, and syringomyelia. Puppies are raised in a home environment alongside family and other pets, with daily handling and gentle socialization from an early age.

Adults live in spacious indoor runs that open to a secure outdoor yard, and Marijo prioritizes balanced feeding and veterinary care. Emphasis on temperament and well-being has led several offspring to succeed in obedience events and therapy visits at local senior centers. Adult dogs enjoy regular outings on trails around the valley to support fitness and gentle conditioning. Owners appreciate clear communication and detailed care guidance provided with each litter.
