Gillcrest Cavaliers

Gillcrest Cavaliers has been breeding cavalier King Charles spaniels in Riverside, California since 2002, making it one of the longer-running programs for the breed in Southern California. Deborah Massengill runs the program as a hobby and show breeder, with all of her cavaliers living in the home as family pets rather than in a kennel setting.

The program places a strong emphasis on sourcing dogs with the correct breed standard type, sound temperament, and healthy, long-lived lines. Deborah has drawn from international bloodlines when she feels they offer the refined look and structural quality she seeks, as the American Kennel Club does not recognize champion titles earned abroad. She limits the number of breedings each year to give her females adequate rest between cycles, prioritizing the dogs' well-being over volume.

For those searching for cavalier King Charles spaniel puppies in California, Gillcrest operates under a thorough adoption process. Deborah holds membership in both the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club, USA and Cavaliers of the West, and she follows those organizations' codes of ethics. All puppies are placed as companion pets on limited AKC registration with a spay or neuter agreement.
