Crab Apple Creek Pets

Crab Apple Creek Pets, Cavalier King Charles spaniels, Mattoon, IL, specializes in raising well socialized puppies. Its operation spans Coles County and Central Illinois near Champaign and it holds American Kennel Club registration for each breed.

Kathleen Anderson draws on years of experience breeding Cavalier King Charles spaniels, golden retrievers and Yorkshire terriers, with health screenings that include cardiac, ophthalmologic and patellar evaluations. Puppies enjoy a mix of indoor family life and outdoor play on a wooded acre, with daily handling to foster confidence. Each litter is monitored by a local veterinarian and socialized with children and other household pets to encourage a balanced temperament. Several golden retrievers from recent litters have trained as therapy dogs in local care facilities. The kennel began when Anderson rescued her first Cavalier King Charles spaniel and has since focused on breeding family companions.
