Breeding for Health, Beauty, & Temperment

​WELCOME!

 

Let me tell you a little bit about myself and my family.  My name is Kara Valera and I am an AKC breeder of Merit in Houston Tx. I am married with 3 beautiful children, a 19, 17, and 8 year old. 

My full time job is caring for my children, both human and fur babies.

I fell in love with this breed about 16 years ago and have learned a lot about Cavaliers since then.  I have a passion for the breed and raise them in my home as a part of our family.  They are all very well socialized with my children and are very loved by my family.  All of my adults are OFA heart certified, CERF eye certified, 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 as this breed does tend to have its health issues 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. 

​

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. :)
