At Minvalonnie, our pricing reflects the level of care, health testing and ethical standards that underpin our entire breeding programme.

We are committed to raising healthy, well‑balanced puppies with the very best start in life, and our pricing structure supports that commitment.

Price Per Puppy: £3500

Every Minvalonnie puppy is priced at £3500, regardless of colour, sex or markings.

• We do not offer different prices based on appearance

• We do not charge more or less for specific colours, patterns or sexes

• We do not inflate prices based on demand

All puppies are valued equally because their worth is based on:

• Health

• Temperament

• Ethical breeding

• Responsible rearing

• Lifetime support

—not aesthetics.

Why Our Puppies Cost This Amount

Our pricing reflects the genuine cost of ethical, health‑first, evidence‑informed breeding. This includes:

Extensive Health Testing

We only consider breeding from dogs who have completed all relevant testing for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, including:

• MRI (CM/SM)

• Cardiologist heart testing

• Ophthalmologist eye testing

• DNA screening

• Hip and elbow scoring (where applicable)

• Patella checks

These tests are expensive, repeated when required, and essential for responsible breeding.

We do not breed from dogs who do not meet our standards.

Purposeful, Low‑Frequency Breeding

We do not breed often.

We do not breed to meet demand.

We only plan a litter when:

• The pairing is right

• All health testing is complete

• The timing is fair to the mother

• We can dedicate full time and attention to the litter

Every litter is intentional — never commercial.

Evidence‑Informed Puppy Rearing

Our puppies are raised using:

• Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)

• Early Scent Introduction (ESI)

• Structured socialisation

• Household exposure

• Early grooming handling

• Early crate and toilet training foundations

This level of rearing requires time, knowledge and daily hands‑on work.

Why Our Puppies Go Home at 12 Weeks

At Minvalonnie, our puppies stay with us until 12 weeks of age.

This is a deliberate, welfare‑focused choice that supports healthier development, smoother transitions and better long‑term outcomes.

We do not send puppies home at 8 weeks.

Full First Vaccinations

By 12 weeks, your puppy will have received their full first vaccination course, meaning:

• They can safely begin exploring the outside world sooner

• You avoid the stressful “no walks for weeks” period

• Socialisation can begin earlier and more safely

This reduces the risk of fear periods, reactivity and under‑socialisation.

More Training Time With Us

Keeping puppies longer allows us to lay stronger foundations in:

• Toilet training

• Crate training

• Basic manners

• Handling and grooming

• Confidence‑building

• Household desensitisation

Your puppy arrives calmer, more settled and easier to integrate into your home.

Better Emotional Development

Between 8–12 weeks, puppies go through critical stages of:

• Social bonding

• Emotional regulation

• Learning safety and trust

• Developing resilience

Staying with their litter and mother during this period helps them grow into:

• More confident

• More stable

• Less anxious

• Better‑adjusted

adult dogs.

Smoother Settling Into Their New Home

Older puppies:

• Sleep better

• Cope with change more easily

• Settle faster

• Are less overwhelmed

• Have more predictable routines

Families often report that 12‑week puppies feel “ready” in a way 8‑week puppies simply aren’t.

More Accurate Puppy Matching

By 12 weeks, we have a clear understanding of each puppy’s:

• Temperament

• Confidence level

• Sensitivity

• Sociability

• Energy level

• Preferred type of human interaction

This allows us to match puppies to homes with far greater accuracy and long‑term success.

Why We Don’t Offer Breeding Rights

We do not allow breeding from our puppies unless:

• All health testing has been completed

• Results meet strict standards

• The owner is committed to ethical, health‑first breeding

• We have approved the breeding plan

This protects:

• The breed

• The puppies

• The integrity of our programme

What Your Puppy Comes With

Every Minvalonnie puppy goes home at 12 weeks with:

• Full first vaccinations

• Microchip

• Health records

• Contract

• Nutrition guide

• Feeding logs

• Tolerance tables

• Body scoring charts

• Socialisation guidance

• Familiar blanket

• Ongoing lifetime support

There are no additional fees for the extended stay — it is simply part of how we raise our puppies.

A Fair, Transparent Price

Our pricing is simple, consistent and ethical.

• No hidden fees

• No add‑ons

• No inflated prices based on colour or demand

We breed with intention, not volume — and our pricing reflects the level of care, responsibility and commitment that goes into every Minvalonnie puppy.
