Meet Rocky – Our Handsome Black & Tan Cavalier Stud

Rocky is our stunning Black and Tan Cavalier King Charles Spaniel stud, and he truly stands out with his glossy jet-black coat paired with rich tan points. He has a strong, refined head, expressive eyes full of warmth, and a coat that carries both depth and shine—everything you’d want in a top-quality Cavalier stud dog.

Coming from impressive European bloodlines, Rocky’s pedigree is filled with champions, showcasing generations of health and beauty. He holds all the essential Cavalier health certifications for heart, hips, eyes, and patellas, and his Embark genetic panel is 100% clear.

As a proven AKC Cavalier stud, Rocky has already sired outstanding litters, passing down his bold coloring, beautiful structure, and sweet Cavalier expression. His puppies are not only healthy and well-marked but also inherit his easygoing temperament, making them excellent family companions.

But what truly makes Rocky shine is his personality. He is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and eager to please—always by my side like a little shadow. Rocky’s temperament is the perfect blend of playful energy and classic Cavalier calm. Whether he’s keeping you company around the house or curling up for downtime, his devotion and gentle spirit are unmatched.

Questions to Ask Your Breeder

There are many wonderful and reputable breeders out there, but it’s important to know what to ask so you can make an informed decision. A few key questions can help you avoid surprises and ensure your puppy comes from healthy, well-bred parents.

Some breeders may say their dogs are “healthy” or have a “clear bill of health.” While that sounds good, it doesn’t necessarily mean the dogs have been genetically tested. True health testing goes beyond a vet exam — it involves DNA and OFA screenings for inherited conditions common in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

When speaking with a breeder, ask the following questions:

Has your stud and dam been DNA tested for known Cavalier genetic conditions?
Are both parents clear of the following genetic disorders?
- Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)
- Dry Eye Curly Coat Syndrome (CC/DE)
- Muscular Dystrophy (MD)
- Episodic Falling Syndrome (EFS)
Do you have documentation from a reputable testing organization (such as Embark, Animal Genetics, or OFA)?
What certifications or clearances do the parents have (for example, CHIC certification through OFA)?

It’s not enough for a breeder to say their dog is “genetically tested.” Ask to see the actual results — because a test that shows the dog is clear is very different from one that simply confirms testing was done. Responsible breeders are transparent, knowledgeable, and happy to share this information.
