| - I am writing this review because before I purchased my dog from Hurricane Cavaliers, I tried to look up reviews on Hurricane Cavaliers. I am pleased to be a very satisfied customer and to post the very first review on yelp.
Originally when I started my dog search, I tried to adopt but I had a hard time finding smaller dogs suitable for my 400 sq. ft. apartment, so I started to look for reputable breeders in MD, VA, DC, and PA. There is only a handful cavalier breeders around us and many didn't have a litter or all the dogs were already spoken for. After a year of fruitless searching I decided to expand my search to outside the east coast. That is when I happened across Hurricane Cavaliers. Based on the information from their website, they seemed to be the kind of breeder I was looking for (healthy lineage, strict breeding requirements, active show dogs, microchipped, akc registered, etc) but I was worried that they could be misrepresenting themselves online. Donna, the breeder, mentioned that the dogs were raised in her home on a 1+ acre property and when I google mapped her, that is exactly what I found. No puppy mill, no sad warehouse. Also she was nice enough to send me photos of the house, play area, and yard since I could not visit. During my search I visited three breeders near me: one exceptional breeder in Salisbury MD, who my sister bought a puppy from, and two whose cramped house smelled of pee and the older dogs didn't seemed potty trained. When a dog is use to urine inside the home it is very difficult to potty train them. My sister's 10 week puppy came litter trained because the breeder took the time to properly train and handle them even from a young age. My puppy from Hurricane Cavaliers was a dream to potty train because he too was properly trained. My previous dog (which I foolishly got from a kennel) was impossible to potty train even with extreme diligence because he was use to being around his pee and poo.
When it came to the transportation of our dog, Donna made it very convenient for us. One of her friend is an airline stewardess so our puppy was carefully escorted in the cabin and not the cargo area. My husband met her at the airport and we got our first addition to our family.
Our puppy came with the following:
- microchip (which the vet scanned, verified, and added to his file)
- binder filled with lots of useful info (lineage, akc info, health certifications and vaccinations, awesome tips, food info, etc)
We LOVE our dog from Hurricane Cavaliers and we would get another from them in a heartbeat.
