GIGGLING CAVALIERS
Introduction & history in breaf
 
Giggling kennel is a small, cosy home kennel situated in western Finland, in the city of Seinäjoki. I got the prefix "Giggling" in year 2006 - my first Cavalier, Blenheim bitch Blenmarin Pretty Baby, I got in year 2002. Before that I’ve owned and been keen on English Springers since my early childhood.

All our dogs are very much loved family members that live in our house together with us enjoying plenty of attention and care every day. At the moment, we have three Cavalier bitches and an English springer bitch at home - two Cavalier bitches and one male are living with carefully chosen co-owners. We want to keep the amount of dogs at home minimal so that we could give them enough attention and would be able to do different activities, such as agility and obedience training, with each of them. My passion have been and are dog shows in which we take part regularly. All our dogs are enjoying long walks daily. They love running in forest and fields and swimming at summertime.

My aim is to breed healthy Cavaliers of good type with open, friendly and fearless Cavalier temperament. All dogs I use for breeding have clear certificates of heart, eyes and patellae and most of them are also MRI-scanned for syringomyelia. Hearts are checked annually and eyes once in every three years.

You can find some information on our dogs below. If you would like to know more of our Cavaliers, please, feel free to contact us by phone or e-mail.

I hope you enjoy your visit - you are warmly welcome back again!
