Hello, my name is Merle Tucker. I have been AKC Show Breeder for over 19 years. I am a AKC Breeder of Merit and have produced 16 AKC Champions. I was fortunate to have a father who shared his passion and love for animals and nature with me. When he became ill and moved into a skilled nursing facility, my Cavaliers returned that love and respect. They would cuddle with him and make him smile. Those were precious moments for both of us. What quickly became evident was the lack of companionship and affection that so many of the facility residents experienced. Many had no one ever visiting them, and had not been outside to get fresh air in years.

I could see the depression flee their faces when they saw my Cavaliers. They were hungry to see, pet, and cuddle with my dogs. Soon, I found I was going several times a week to visit them with my Cavaliers. What a difference those visits made in their days! It was then that I made the commitment to enable more people to do what I was doing, to train their Cavaliers as therapy dogs and with them to visit the infirmed and create more smiles and the experience of unconditional love so badly needed. “Sharing Puppy Love” was established 2010 as a non-profit corporation to do just that. Our puppies leave Castle Creek Cavaliers matched with new owners committed to becoming a “Therapy Dog Team.” I do not ship my cavaliers, it is very important we meet each other to establish a relationship and for you to be assured your puppy has had a good start. I hope to be involved to assist you in any way I can.
