Red Barn Cavaliers
For further information about our background, please visit here.
Welcome to our vibrant and lively blended family, including two adults and five energetic kids, aged 7 to 17, all dedicated to raising our adorable puppies! Since 2018, we’ve proudly established ourselves as the go-to Cavalier breeders in central Illinois. Located in McLean, IL—just a quick 20-minute trip from Bloomington-Normal & 50 minutes southeast of Peoria—our puppies have found loving homes all over the country and even internationally, with two heading to Canada and one to Germany!
We take our responsibilities as breeders very seriously, putting the health and happiness of our dogs at the forefront of everything we do. Our breeding parents are handpicked for their fantastic genetics and delightful temperaments. We offer a two-year health guarantee for every puppy adopted. We’re here to support you throughout your dog’s life and even provide overnight care for just $15 a day. If you ever need to rehome your dog, we gladly welcome them back, no questions asked!
We believe in building a strong bond between puppies and their families right from the start, and that’s what sets us apart from other breeders. We invite families to visit their puppies and enjoy biweekly FaceTime calls, allowing puppy to become familiar with your scent and voice. You can send a slept-in t-shirt for us to wrap around the puppy during these calls, enhancing that special connection! While we focus on raising puppies as Emotional Support Animals, our bonding methods benefit all family dogs. And don’t forget to check in on your puppy through our livestream, where you can witness all the love and care they receive!
From day one, we nurture our puppies' affectionate nature, teaching them manners, appropriate behavior, and positive reinforcement techniques. Raised as part of our family, they are well-socialized with children and other pets, ensuring a smooth transition into your home! We also potty train our puppies using pine, making it perfect for families in apartments or cities. This method helps them transition easily from pine to grass, and each family receives a bag of pine to assist with training. If you have any questions about this unique approach, feel free to reach out!

Life lessons from your dog:
It's okay sometimes to just eat and sleep.
When you fall down and get back up, shake it off, forget about it, and go on.
Be very brave no matter your size.
Make your own fun.
Always run to greet your loved ones!
At the end of the day, it is best to snuggle no matter what has happened.
Every day is a brand-new day... just be happy!
Recognized & endorsed by Good Dog in February 2022 for maintaining ethical breeding practices and promoting optimal health not just in our puppies, but for our moms, dads, and retirees as well.
