FAQs

Question: Who am I buying a puppy from?

Answer: We are the "Huff Family" (Pictured below). We are proud to be the owners and operators of "Ruby and Black Cavaliers." When you call/email/text you will most likely be corresponding with Jennifer about the Cavaliers!  

Question: Are your Cavaliers tested for heart disease, eye irregularities, and patella luxation?

Answer: Yes, all of our Cavaliers have their eyes examined by certified ophthalmologists at the University of Georgia, and all of our Cavs have cleared the heart exam and patella exam prescribed by the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals).

Question: Where are you located?

Answer: We are located in Demorest, GA, which is approximately 75 minutes North of Atlanta.

Question: Can you keep my puppy past the scheduled pick up date?

Answer: Yes, we ususally can. However, the final payment will be due the day the puppy turns 8 weeks old. You can mail a check or make the payment via paypal. Also, we will charge $20 per extra night that we keep the puppy. That will also be included in the final payment that is due the day the puppy turns 8 weeks old. If the final payment is not received at 8 weeks we will immediately seek to find another home for the puppy and you will forfeit your deposit. 

Question: Will a puppy from your family be house trai.ned when we pick him/her up?

Answer: The puppy should be sleeping in a crate throughout the night by the time he/she is 9 weeks old and ready for pickup. However, we are not able to guarantee your new Cavalier will not have an accident (or two)! The good news is that Cavaliers are very smart and are relatively easy to house train. 

Question: Will I need to have my Cavalier professionally groomed? 

Answer: No, if you brush your Cavalier on a weekly basis, and bathe him/her on a monthly basis, it should not be necessary to have your Cavalier professionally groomed. 

Question: What type of food will my new puppy be eating?

Answer: Your puppy will be eating "Diamond Natural Small Breed Puppy Food." 

Question: Will we receive any type of health guarantee with our new Cavalier? 

Answer: Yes, when you pick up your puppy you will receive a health guarantee. The guarantee will cover specific hereditary life-threatening illnesses for 2 years.  

Question: Will my puppy be microchipped when I pick him/her up?

Answer: Yes, your puppy will be microchipped and will come with lifetime registration through idtag.com. Microchipping provides an extra level of security in case your puppy/dog is ever stolen/lost. 

Question: What is the difference between AKC, CKC, ACA, and other registries that I see advertised?

Answer: AKC is the best registry. The American Kennel Club (AKC) does the best job of ensuring the ancestors of dogs in their registry. Other registries do not verify the parentage of a particular puppy, and buyers cannot be certain that the dog is a purebred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Reputable breeders most often have AKC Cavaliers. 

Question: When I pick up my puppy will I be able to meet the parents?

Answer: Yes, you will be able to meet both parents at pick-up.  

Question: Are you a licensed breeder?

Answer: Yes, we are licensed by the state of Georgia and we inspected by the AKC (American Kennel Club) on an annual basis. 

Question: What are the living the living conditions for your Cavaliers?

Answer: Our Cavaliers stay in the house, sleep in their own personal crates (which are X-large), and have access to the spacious backyard throughout the daytime.
