Home to the Kamawarie Cavaliers is an idyllic little spot in the peace and quiet of the Victorian countryside, Australia.  We are a small family kennel owned by mother and daughter - Marie and Karen.

Our Cavaliers run free across grassy acres.  Their  'kennels' are cool, shady verandahs in summer and a cosy chair by the fire and a spot on the bed in winter.

Whenever their adventuring takes them our Cavaliers are constantly under the vigilant eye of their best friend and guardian - our majestic Maremma Sheepdog.

Our love affair with the Cavalier started nearly twelve years ago when we purchased our very first pet - a beautiful Tricolour boy named 'Kimbeau'. The meaning of his name was stated as "Brave and of Royal Birth". How very appropriate we thought for this wonderful breed of dog!
Of course we could not stop at just one Cavalier! How many people before and after us have discovered how very moreish these little dogs are!
We were drawn like magnets to dog shows every weekend just so we could see more and more Cavaliers and all four colours! It did not take very long at all before we too were well and truly bitten by the showing bug and we were on our way with our first show quality Cavaliers.
We are still enjoying the show scene immensely and have met many wonderful people along the way and learned to avoid the other variety. We have been incredibly fortunate in that we have benefited from the guidance and advice of some of the "best in the business"!
We hope you enjoy your journey through Kamawarie and that you will call back from time to time.

The answer is " Very Special People"! That means people who have already done or who are prepared to do their homework and thoroughly research the breed before committing themselves to the responsibility of owning a Cavalier.
People who already own a Cavalier and have come to appreciate how much they and their pet would enjoy the company of another.
These people do not need to be wealthy but they do need to have a realistic outlook as to the cost of maintaining their Cavalier in a happy, healthy and comfortable state.
The home does not need to be large but it must be safe and secure with a securely fenced yard for outdoor activities.
Life on the land is great but not if cattle fencing is the only means of keeping your little Cavalier out of harms way. A dog proof fence around the house yard is a must.
Our "Special People" do not stress about dog hair on and under the furniture, on their clothes and in their car.
They realise that they have selected the ultimate companion dog and as such they are prepared to welcome their Cavalier into their daily lives as well as into their home and, in most cases, onto their beds.
Companionship is a must. The ultimate companion dog was not bred to be left alone day after day.
