Meet Our Ladies...
Luna
The Party
Introducing Luna, the party! Luna is Winnie's daughter and was born and raised in our home. Beautifully marked, leggy and full of joyful energy, Luna, is our playful Aunty. Ever since she was little she would wait for Winnie's other puppies to get old enough to play and has spent her puppihood playing with the babies. We would find her constantly going into the puppy pen to sniff the puppies and poke them with her nose to see if they were ready to romp. Anxiously, she would and will check in daily to guage puppy playfulness! Then when the day comes for the babies to start to running she starts to engage. It is so sweet to see her calm down and be gentle while the babies are little and then kick it up a notch and play hard as the babies grow and start to run around the backyard.
Willow
The Princess
Meet our lovely lady, Willow, the princess!! She joined the family and promptly stole all of our hearts. She is an agile yet goofy little thing. She loves to greet us each morning like its been a month since we've seen her and when you scratch her and love on her she gives you zombie kisses, little grooming nibbles! It tickles and is totally hilarious! Yet, in her snuggles she still holds a silent demand. While she isn't pushy she is adamant! If you are sitting she stairs and insists on her lap time. While this princess doesn't love touching grass...because obviosly it is beneath her, she loves her puppies and sisters enough to romp in the yard regardless of her superiority! Her super calm and sweet demeaner comes with a determined attitude to be loved...and we do!

Winnie
The Sweetheart
Winnie is our matriarch, and the sweetest dog in the world! She is so different from Willow, and Luna. While Willow is sleek grace and kindness, and Luna is a walking party, Winnie is quiet gentleness wrapped in unabashed klutziness! She is so much fun! She is so eager to please and when she wags her tail her whole body squiggles around like her joy just can't be contained in just her tail. She tries to jump onto our bed and sorta just splats on the side and holds on until Dave or I rescue her, but she is not ashamed! She prances around like she is meant to be there! It has been amazing to watch Winnie teach her sisters about how to be a good momma. When Willow had her first litter Winnie couldn't wait to get into the pen to groom and snuggle the puppies. Both Luna and Willow have watched Winnie and imitated her care for her puppies. She is such a blessing!
Meet Our Gents
Hollywood
The Napster
Hollywood is our gorgeous stud! He is living with my good friend and her family, locally, in Chattanooga. You can find him snoring away while happily napping or following Miss Chrissy around the house ready to re-nap at her feet whenever he gets a chance!! He has the sweetest disposition and wouldn't hurt a fly, but he is a quarkey guy in his own rights. You can find him curiously pawing at any small items he may find around the home such as a dangerous fluff ball on the floor and he will paw at it and jump back as if the fluff has a great sword and bad attitude ready to attack. No need to fear ladies, Hollywood is here to keep you safe from all the dangerous inanimate objects! Cavi's are perfect little dogs for emotional therapy especially since they all seem to have their own issues...so who's judging, right?
Magic Mike
Local Stud
Magic Mike is a stud that we use periodically. Since Hollywood is our primary stud we occasionally need to broaden the gene pool or we may breed to keep a female for ourselves. Therefore, we call another breeder in Tennessee. Mike has all his paperwork and testing, He is the grandson of a grand champion sire from a ranch in California. Beautiful and sweet, Mike helps us out when we need to diversify!
Meet our Foster Families
Bailey
Bailey Rose
Bailey is Luna's full sister, and Winnie's daughter. Even though her name is Bailey Rose she could easily have been named Tigger! When she runs across the yard she might as well be on a pogo stick! She is full of energy like her sister but never wants to miss her snuggles. She is so funny when she gets excited she actually has a bounce to her steps. Luna wants very badly to be the bossy big sister of their relationship but Bailey can hold her own. Both ladies are confident and joyful because they feel like complete queens in their homes as they are spoiled to death by their people!!​
Caleb & Trinity
The Lamberts are close family friends of the Ericksons and classic dog lovers. Caleb and Trinity are a young couple who are passionate about serving their community and investing in young people. Trinity serves as a youth director in Ooltewah, and Caleb is a middle school social studies teacher and coach. They have visited Bailey since her birth and were thrilled to take her home where they have lovingly cared for her ever since. They are excited to be raising her puppies and will be delighted to play with them and prepare them for their forever homes.
The Lamberts have sweet little home with plenty of room and a yard for the puppies to enjoy. Bailey will give birth at her home under the supervision of Alayne to make sure everything goes well. Then the puppies will see our veterinarian for a full check-up. Caleb has the summers off so he will be around the puppies all day, and then if they travel the Ericksons will have the puppies at our home! Trinity will take point and send pictures of growing pups and communicate with the puppy families for their daily routines.
Trinity & Caleb
The Lamberts
Caleb & Trinity have been visiting our litters for years as Caleb graduated from college with our son.
Frankie
Frankie
Frankie is the total package!! She is so sweet and will lay in Anika's arms like an actual baby. She has her daily routines memorized and loves her life revolving around running through freshly tilled soil and flowers. She may also absolutely love the days when the cow manure shows up for the fields. Even if Anika does not like those days as it ends in many bath nights! Frankie is still living the high life and anxiously waiting for a new sister. She will be ready to be a mom eventually....but not today! Today she gets to be the baby!!
​
Ben & Anika
Anika is our daughter who recently married Ben Lorenzen. Ben's family runs the Lorenzen Flower Farm in Dayton Tn. Therefore, Frankie's future litters will be raised on the Lornzen Flower Farm. Anika also runs our intagram account so you can find many pictures of Frankie romping around in the fields behind their house. On any given day Anika can be found working in her home, raisng our grandson, playing with Frankie, or picking flowers.
Once again, Erickson Cavaliers will be involved in raising their litter. Anika has been raising puppies with us for many years, but I (alayne) will still be heading to thier place for the birth of the puppies (when that day comes) and then Ben & Anika will take on the responsibility of daily raising, playing and traing the new babies. Anika wil take lead on communication and sending pictures to our puppy families.
