Chadwick

Chadwick, run by Anne Eckersley in Hawleyville, Connecticut, breeds Cavalier King Charles spaniels alongside Tibetan spaniels — two breeds that have been central to this program for decades. The kennel sits within an easy drive of Danbury and the greater New York metro area, making it one of the more accessible sources for Cavalier King Charles spaniel puppies in Connecticut for families across the tri-state region.

Anne's connection to Cavaliers stretches back to 1976, when her first was purchased from the Maxholt kennels in London during her years living in Scotland and England. That early grounding in the breed's British show tradition shaped the program's dual focus on conformation and sound temperament. Chadwick cavaliers have earned championship titles at both CKCSC and AKC specialties as well as all-breed shows, and the kennel holds membership in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club, USA — the national club whose Code of Ethics has guided the program's breeding decisions.

Health testing is a non-negotiable part of how Chadwick selects breeding stock. All dogs in both breeds are cleared for heart, eye, hip, and patella conditions before breeding, with results recorded in the CKCSC Health Registry and the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA). The Tibetan spaniels trace back to Champion Friarland Willow Wisp, imported from the storied Friarland kennels in Scotland, where Anne had admired the breed for years before adding Tibbies to the program in 1996. Temperament and longevity carry as much weight as titles in how dogs are chosen for breeding.
