Home-raised Cavaliers, thoughtfully matched
About Us
We’re Chuck & Claudia Holt from Lancaster, PA—and our journey began in 2003 when a Cavalier named Benny brought calm and comfort to our daughter, Judy Grace. His gentle presence is why we started Judy’s Cavaliers in 2022: to raise family-ready companions with the same steady spirit.
What We Believe
Puppies thrive when they’re raised at home, handled daily, and socialized with intention. That’s why every litter grows up in our living room, begins ENS, and starts crate, potty, and leash training before going home—so your first weeks together feel natural, not chaotic.
Stories From Adoption
Heartfelt notes from people who found their furever family member. Health, care, and follow-up support—told in their own words.
Posted on Melissa Bole -Rizio (Melissa McMullen)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so thankful that we found Claudia. She raised the best little puppy I've ever met (and I have alot of dog/cat experience). We were lucky enough to be close and able to visit our Luna nearly every week since she was born. It was an amazing experience for myself and family. Luna came home with many essentials which I appreciated. As well as an outline of schedule she was on and other helpful information. It was very clear that my puppy, her littermates and the other dogs of the house were all very well taken care of both physically and emotionally. We have had Luna for just under a month and she is exactly the kind of puppy I was hoping for. She helps not just me but also my son calm down when we feel anxious. And she isnt even trained yet to do that. If you are looking for a cavalier I wouldn't go anywhere else.Posted on lynne bohrmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are thankful every day that Claudia returned our call, told us about the puppies she had in her home, and invited us to come. After visiting 6 other places with Cavaliers, we knew instantly we wanted a pup from this home-born litter. It was important to me to meet the mother of the litter; Mama dog Callie also stole our hearts with her affection and beauty. We were so grateful for the generosity of time and knowledge we received about nutrition and home safety from the Holts. We were in constant contact and visited their home every week until we brought a healthy, socialized Petunia home! It was priceless to have her potty-trained and crate-trained!!. Our Vet was impressed with the excellent condition and health of our 12-week-old Petunia. She has a healing presence from recent grief over the loss of our beloved dog. Our relationship with Claudia and Chuck will continue as we share this happy adventure and hope to be friends for a long time!Posted on Frank ChristianoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were very lucky in finding this amazing family and their wonderful puppies . Judy and her family are totally involved in raising their adorable, family oriented dogs which make a puppy from this breeder an exceptional experience for all looking for a healthy, well balanced new family member . Owning dogs and puppies for over 50+ years Oliver our Tri-color from Judy and her family has been an a true joy . Frank and DonnaPosted on Donna ChristianoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After our 11 yr old Cavalier Hugo passed last May of severe MVD we began the search for another puppy. Bentley, our now almost 12 yr old Cavalier was sad and we thought a new puppy would help him. After looking at a few sites we came across Judy’s Cavalier’s and put in a call. Claudia responded quickly and answered all of our questions, especially concerning the health of the parent dogs. She informed us that both parent were cleared healthwise. She also informed us that they were expecting two litters in September. We quickly put our name on Gracie Joy’s wait list. She FaceTimed us when the pups were born and we quickly pick ours out. We decided to take a trip out to see them in person when they were only 4 days old. We continued to FaceTime Claudia and Chuck once a week until we pick him up in December. We are so in love with Oliver. We continue to FaceTime them at least twice a month and are planning another trip to see them and let Oliver see his family. We highly recommend Judy’s Cavalier’s to anyone looking for a beautiful and wee trained puppy. Frank and DonnaPosted on Vanessa HysonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We adopted our Gracie Joy from Judy's Cavaliers and brought her home on November 25th. The first time I spoke with Claudia I knew I contacted the right person. We actually went up to their home before our Gracie Joy was born and became good friends with the family and also with Momma Gracie and Callie. We would Face Time and talk about the puppies every chance we had. Chuck, Claudia and Judy Holt at Judy's Cavaliers are the BEST!!!Posted on Barbara BarkanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The moment we contacted the Holts inquiring about a puppy, the communication and information flowed. From the initial FaceTime, when we first met “our girl” (nearly 3 weeks old) to pick up day and beyond, they consistently shared her progress and development. They sent pictures, videos and texts. We FaceTimed and had phone conversations. We also had a wonderful visit when our pup was about 6 weeks old and met her mama and siblings. Our Birdie Mae is now 4 months old, healthy and social. She is a great listener and learns so easily. Claudia, Chuck and family truly love their dogs and each puppy. Their caring and commitment is evident in all that they do. We were very lucky to have worked with them and highly recommend Judy’s Cavaliers.Posted on Tim KainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had a great experience in dealing with the Holts. They were available and answered all questions, provided ongoing interaction until our puppy was available.we have had her for 3 weeks now and following her first vet visit at 12 weeks was healthy. She appears to be very smart and sociable. I would highly recommend them!Posted on Connie LembarisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met Georgie, a one year-old Cavalier in November 2023. He was a beautiful, confident and well-socialized King Charles Cavalier; and was immediately smitten! Turns out his breeders, Claudia and Chuck Holt, were expecting a new litter in January 2024 from their family dog Callie. Thus began my journey to find the perfect puppy for my second therapy dog. From the very beginning, Claudia Holt was knowledgeable, warm, engaging, open and always willing to answer questions. She kept me informed of Callie’s pregnancy and sent pictures as she progressed until Callie had her litter at the end of January. Despite being several hundred miles away, we felt like we were there ourselves as 6 new puppies entered the world. Now, the hard decision was to pick a pup. Over time, Claudia came to know us very well and directed us to the perfect little guy. Neptune: Young, spirited, confident and a little particular. He fits right in. Once my puppy was selected, pictures and videos were always appearing on my phone. Eventually it became a community adoption as my friends joined in. It was wonderful to watch the puppies grow and learn in such a healthy and happy home. It is evident that this couple loves what they do and are eager to learn as well as teach. From the beginning Claudia told us she would keep the puppies 9-10 weeks to help establish a base of training, socialization and insure they were mature enough to be separated. Her decision and insight were right on. By the time our pup came home, he was well on his way to being socialized, potty and crate trained. In our home he is comfortable in his crate (walking in and out freely during the day) and confident enough to explore our world – though usually with us.. Additionally Claudia had the pups vet checked, recommended their feed, gave us a to-do list along with some starter items and took the time to microchip them all. Our little guy has been with us almost a week, is very happy, a picture of health, always playful, sleeping well in his crate and more curious each day. But, he is still a puppy and just like any child, needs some structure and general boundaries. Wherever we go, he follows along – slip sliding on our wooden floors. It is clear he sees himself as a family member and secure enough within our home and us. Even now, he’s sprawled out at my feet napping. Probably waiting for a belly rub. The Holts are always there to give advice, encouragement and knowledge. With the animal’s best interest in mind, they never compromise from that starting point. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a Cavalier. Not just diligent breeders, they are good people and folks we can now call friends and mentors. Good experience start to finish – as my little guy looks up with loving eyes.Posted on Lauren McMillanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Claudia has been extremely helpful and informative throughout the entire process. I was given consistent updates before I picked my puppy up. he's happy and healthy and I am forever grateful!Posted on Ruth CasperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
