LOL!
My father's cat won't go outside if it's wet out.
*snicker*
(He and the dog got along surprisingly well, even played and roughhoused some.)

I'll ping my mom here since she posts to FR as well.

*sigh* Your Dad is also going to be a problem with the cost. You have to remember that all our pets were strays or "jailhouse" rescues. :-)

I have seen them on the 'net for $800 to $1000 but those breeders aren't near us.

Here's a link to the official AKC parent club for the Cavalier. There's a nationwide breeders' list on the menu to the left.

One tip, and xsmommy can confirm this. Try to purchase a pup from a breeder who screens his or her breeding stock for inherited defects/disease. In addition, don't be surprised if the breeder interviews you. You are, after all, buying a pup in which the breeder should have much emotional investment.

Good luck, Cavaliers are delightful dogs. They are the most popular Toy breed in Great Britain for good reason.
