What Is The Laughing Cavaliers Website?

Updated

The Laughing Cavaliers (laughingcavaliers.com) is a breeder website run by Barbara Garnett-Wilson and her husband Roy Wilson, based in Kitsap, Washington State. It serves two purposes: sharing information about their King Charles Cavalier breeding program and selling Cavalier-inspired books, calendars, and note-card sets. If you're looking for a Cavalier puppy from a small, established breeder in Washington State—or for Cavalier-themed gifts—this site is aimed at you.

Who Runs the Site

The site is operated personally by Barbara Garnett-Wilson (formerly Garnett-Smith) and Roy Wilson, who describe themselves as the "proud proprietors" of Laughing Cavaliers. The site presents itself as a personal, story-driven operation rather than a commercial storefront—the About Us section frames the breeding program as a "continuing story" rather than a catalog.

What the Site Offers

King Charles Cavalier Breeding

The core of the site is a breeding program for King Charles Cavalier puppies. According to the site, they maintain an "active, conscientious breeding program, producing occasional litters for qualified adoption." Two details matter here:

  • "Occasional litters" — this is not a high-volume operation. Puppies are not continuously available.
  • "Qualified adoption" — the site signals that prospective owners may need to meet certain criteria before adopting.

The site does not publish pricing, litter schedules, or an application process on the pages described, so those details would need to be requested directly.

Cavalier-Inspired Products

Beyond breeding, the Wilsons sell Cavalier-themed merchandise they produce themselves:

Product type Notes
Books Described as award-winning
Calendars Written, designed, and produced by Barbara and Roy
Note-card sets Same

The site emphasizes that these items are created personally by the couple rather than sourced from third parties.

How the Site Is Organized

The main sections are:

  • About Us — the story of the breeders and the program
  • Our Babies — photos and information about their Cavaliers, described as "the best spokesmen for Laughing Cavaliers"
  • Our Cavalier-Inspired Treasures — the books, calendars, and note-card sets

What to Know Before Reaching Out

  • Location matters. The breeders are in Kitsap, Washington State, which is relevant if you're considering pickup versus shipping.
  • Availability is limited. "Occasional litters" means you should expect to wait or inquire about timing rather than assume a puppy is ready now.
  • No published pricing. The site does not list prices for puppies or products in the available material, so cost and payment details would need to come from direct contact.
  • Two distinct offerings. If you only want a puppy, the merchandise section is separate; if you only want a calendar or book, you don't need to engage with the breeding program.
