Athercroft is home to generations of champion Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. We are a small, selective breeding program dedicated to the preservation of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed. We carefully plan each breeding to achieve happy, out-going temperament, health, longevity and breed type. The welfare of our dogs and the future of the breed are always uppermost in our breeding and puppy placement decisions. Athercroft Cavaliers evolved out of a decades-long friendship between Charlie, Claire and Dee. We live in Ohio, Tennessee and North Carolina. We are proud to have been recognized by the American Kennel Club as Breeders of Merit.
