About Lisa & Donny Anderson – Anderson Cavaliers

Trusted AKC Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Breeders in the USA

Welcome to Anderson Cavaliers! We’re Lisa and Donny Anderson, passionate Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breeders dedicated to raising healthy, happy, and well-loved Cavalier puppies for families all across the United States.

With more than 18 years of experience breeding and showing Cavaliers, we’re proud to have earned AKC Breeder of Merit recognition — a distinction that reflects our commitment to excellence, integrity, and the highest standards of care.

Our Story

Our journey with Cavaliers began nearly two decades ago at our first AKC dog show. The moment we met this gentle, affectionate breed, we were completely smitten. Their warm, expressive eyes and loving personalities stole our hearts, and we knew then that the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel would be a lifelong passion.

Since that day, we’ve devoted our lives to learning, improving, and preserving this incredible breed. Each puppy we raise is a reflection of our dedication to health, temperament, and beauty — the hallmarks of a truly well-bred Cavalier.

How Our Puppies Are Raised

At Anderson Cavaliers, our dogs and puppies live right here in our home, surrounded by love and attention. They grow up as part of our family — playing with our children, interacting with adults, and experiencing everyday life.

This nurturing environment helps ensure every puppy develops the confident, friendly, and affectionate personality that the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is famous for. Our goal is to produce Cavaliers that are not only beautiful but also healthy, social, and emotionally well-balanced companions.

Our Health Commitment

Health is at the heart of everything we do. We carefully screen all of our adult Cavaliers before breeding to help reduce the risk of hereditary issues and to promote long-term wellness.

Each of our adult dogs is:

• OFA Heart Certified by a board-certified cardiologist

• CERF Eye Certified by a board-certified ophthalmologist

• OFA Patella Certified

• DNA tested for Curly Coat Dry Eye and Episodic Falling Syndrome

We’re deeply committed to improving the longevity and vitality of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed. While no breeder can guarantee a life free of health concerns, we go above and beyond to ensure every puppy gets the healthiest start possible.

Every Anderson Cavaliers puppy comes with a 2-year health guarantee, a spay/neuter agreement, and a lifetime of breeder support.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple:
To preserve the integrity, beauty, and loving temperament of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, while connecting families across the USA with healthy, joyful puppies raised with love and care.

We believe that responsible breeding means more than producing puppies — it’s about nurturing lives, fostering relationships, and giving every Cavalier the best possible future.
