Southern Porch Pals

Southern Porch Pals is a Cavalier King Charles spaniel breeder in Lake Butler, FL, serving families throughout North Florida near Jacksonville. Founded by Miriam Hooks, the kennel adheres to national breed club guidelines and ensures health testing for heart, patella and eyes. Puppies are raised indoors with daily socialization from children and adults, and each litter enjoys access to shaded outdoor spaces on the family’s rural property.

A focus on temperament and gentle handling helps produce well-rounded companions suited for both quiet homes and therapy settings. Miriam maintains detailed health records and welcomes prospective owners to observe puppy play sessions, fostering transparency and trust.

Earlier litters from Southern Porch Pals have grown into stable, affectionate dogs noted by owners for their adaptability and calm nature. All puppies receive regular veterinary checkups before joining their new homes, and Miriam provides ongoing advice on nutrition and training.
