​WELCOME!

 

 My name is Kara Valera and I am a small show breeder in the Houston Tx area. I am also an AKC breeder of Merit and have been breeding and showing for about 17 years.

I fell in love with cavaliers back when I met them many years ago at my first AKC show and have learned a lot about the breed since then. I raise them in my home as a part of our family and they are all very well socialized with my children and very loved by my family. All of my adults are OFA heart certified by a board certified cardiologist, CERF eye certified by a board certified opthamologist, and OFA Patella certified. They have also been DNA tested for Curly Coat Dry Eye, and Episodic Falling Syndrome. Health is very important to me and my goal for my breeding program is to extend the longevity for the breed among other things, while also adhering to the standard and keeping the sweet look and temperament of the cavalier. and while I can never guarantee a health issue will never pop up, I do my absolute best to lessen that risk by health testing.

I am also a board member of the Cavalier Club of Greater Houston as well as a member of the CKCSC USA and ACKCSC.

​

Although I do stay very busy typically, I am happy to answer any questions you may have about me or the breed. Please just send me an email and I will get back with you as soon as I can, valeracavaliers@gmail.com.
