We currently have five (5) studs in our program including four Cavaliers and one Bichon. We offer stud services to qualifying breeders (i.e. those with health screened and approved bitches) or those wishing to participate in our breeding mentor program. Here are the answers to the most common questions about use of one of our dogs for stud services:
- Do you do DNA testing? Absolutely. Our male dogs undergo DNA testing through EMBARK and we are happy to share their panels with any prospective breeders. We do not stud dogs that are at risk for any genetic defects nor do we support the breeding of DM positive litters. Our studs are negative for all screened panels and free of any heart, eye or hip defects. We are happy to provide those results as well.
- How much is your fee? Our standard fee is $1000. There are additional costs associated with artificial insemination but those services are available.
- What if the breeding does not result in a litter? If your bitch does not end up pregnant, there will be no stud fee. We do ask for confirmation from your vet in addition to progesterone testing for your female in advance of breeding.
- Do you have champion bloodlines? Absolutely, and some really impressive ones at that. We also have imported dogs to increase diversity in our program and COI of litters. We are happy to share pedigrees by email after we've spoken. Send a request using the contact form on this website! Our pedigrees will add value to any litter!
- Will you consider AI? Yes, we are open to breeding through AI with a responsible veterinarian. Please contact us to discuss details.
- What color Cavaliers can your studs create? Our studs are capable of creating any color Cavalier based on the bitch they are matched with.
- Can your studs be bred with another breed? Yes, we support responsible F1 hybrid breeding and will allow use of our studs to mate with purebred (and health tested) Bichons or Poodles. We will consider F1b breeding in certain circumstances.

BENTLEY - AKC REGISTERED AS "JUDGE BENTLEY BLUE MESSERVY"
Bentley is a tri-colored Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (CKCS) whose full adult weight is 16 pounds. He has several Champions in his pedigree which include the well known Champion lines of Castlemar and Sheeba. Bentley's mother is a trained therapy dog who works with Special Needs Children and that temperament is evident in his breeding. Bentley's has an incredibly soft coat with beautiful markings. His coat genetics are aaEess which means he is capable of producing all four color Cavaliers (and therefore a range of Cavachon colors as well). Bentley is not at risk for any known genetic conditions. He does carry the DM gene so females must be screened and compatible.
Bentley is great with kids and lives in a household with two young boys who love him dearly. Bentley has a typical King Charles personality, an incredibly lovable spaniel who enjoys long walks, chasing squirrels and cuddling. Although technically a "stud" for our program, Bentley is better described by his family as a lovable goofball who has never met a stranger. He brings a solid pedigree, strong DNA panel, beautiful coat and sweet temperament to our program. Bentley has perfect health testing, as per OFA recommended panels for his breed (cardiac, eyes, hips and patella). Bentley is also available for stud services for other litters including hybrids. Bentley is proven and makes absolutely gorgeous puppies. Photos provided upon request. Fee based on breeding and logistics (AI, live cover, etc.). We also mentor new breeders and loan breeding equipment for those just starting their program.
Bentley is cared for by Charleston Canine Reproductive Specialists and has a semen quality and negative brucellosis test on file at all times.
