Lily

F1 Cavador
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel x Labrador Retriever
Yellow/Red

Lily is DNA Health Tested.
​Cavalier parent is heart cleared, Labrador parent is hip and elbow scored.
​
Lily is as sweet and charming, as she is playful, cuddly and affectionate. The big dog, that's trapped in a little dogs body! The perfect blend of both Cavalier and Labrador, the typical Cavador can often exceed 30-35kg once mature - Lily was selectively chosen and bred; for her health, temperament, and smaller size (Lily is ~15kg). 

Lily is adorably sweet, gentle, and incredibly charming. This gorgeous girl melts the hearts of all whom she meets. A true love bug, who has been bred from parents with the most exceptional health and temperament. Lily is a testament to all we strive for.

With her happy go lucky nature, compact stature, sociable and switched on personality - we look forward to the next generation of our Miniature Retriever project.

Waldo

3/4 English Cocker Spaniel 1/4 Beagle
(75% Cocker Spaniel 25% Beagle)

Cream/Gold - Chocolate/Liver Coloured Nose, Hazel Eyes

Waldo is DNA Health Tested.
Eyes examined and passed by specialist 
ophthalmologist.

​

Waldo is our handsome 3/4 Cocker Spaniel 1/4 Beagle  (F1b Speagle), also 75% Cocker Spaniel 25% Beagle.
Waldo's mother was a first cross Cocker Spaniel x Beagle, and his father a pure bred English Cocker Spaniel.

Waldo is our big sooky baby, with the most gentle and sensitive soul. He has the kindest heart, and adores every dog whom he meets - just wanting to be friends; and love and be loved by every one of his canine pals. Waldo loves playing with puppies too, and is so smitten with his babies.

Waldo loves to be brushed and cuddled, and is a real sweetheart with the most docile and considerate personality. With a very low work drive, yet loyal nature - Waldo is the most fabulous sidekick.

What to expect?

This breeding has the potential to produce both long haired and short haired puppies - so whether you prefer the Miniature Retriever version of either the Lab or the Golden - there is the chance of this litter having the perfect puppy for you!
​
Colour will vary from light cream through to yellow, gold - and even fox red and ruby.
Mature size is expected to be in the 10-20kg range, where majority of the puppies will likely balance around 15kg - though some puppies maturing on the smaller end of the spectrum and others will fall on the bigger side of this.

The genetic makeup of these selectively bred puppies will be as follows:
25% Labrador Retriever 25% Cavalier King Charles Spaniel 37.5% English Cocker Spaniel 12.5% Beagle

This unique blend is our very own, specific to our gene pool and breeding program. 
The "Cottage Retriever" is the perfect pet for a House Dog!


This carefully selected breeding strives to produce a dog with the physical attributes of the Retriever's, whilst maturing to half the size - and reducing health concerns that are more commonly associated with the larger breed dogs.

Though no dog has life long immunity to health complications, ensuring our dogs are DNA tested and have passed their Veterinary examinations is imperative - however we also ensure that our larger breeds have been hip and elbow scored, Cavaliers are heart checked and cleared by cardiologist, Cocker Spaniels eyes have been checked and passed by ophthalmologist; and that all are of sound temperament.
Further crossbreeding allowing for a wider genetic diversity and improved hybrid vigour.
