A legacy with heart.
Brookhaven Cavaliers was founded by sisters Paula Ayers and Brenda Martz, whose shared passion became the foundation of a breeding program spanning more than three decades.

A part of the family.
Nestled in the countryside near Madison, Georgia, Brookhaven Cavaliers is where decades of experience meet everyday life. Today, Paula's three sons and daughter-in-law continue that family tradition, helping care for the dogs and carrying forward the values that have defined Brookhaven for more than three decades.
Brookhaven proudly continues in Brenda's memory and in honor of the legacy they built together.
Every great breeding program is built on those who came before.
The Brookhaven standard
Purpose in every decision.
Generations of carefully selected championship bloodlines, comprehensive health testing, correct structure, beautiful movement, and exceptional temperament guide every breeding decision. Championships are a reflection of quality, but never the goal. The goal is to produce healthy Cavaliers that embody everything the breed was meant to be.
Not every outstanding puppy remains at Brookhaven. Many are placed in carefully selected companion homes simply because they are not the one chosen to continue the breeding program. Every puppy benefits from the same thoughtful planning, the same commitment to health, and the same generations of proven bloodlines.
Temperament
Home raising and daily companionship help puppies begin life with confidence, affection, and familiarity.
Breed type
Balance, soundness, beauty, and correct Cavalier character are considered across every generation.
03 / The legacyBrookhaven champions
Built across generations.
Many of Brookhaven's foundation dogs trace back to the renowned Pascavale Kennel in England. Through a longstanding partnership with Pascavale, Paula imported, exhibited, and bred several of the kennel's most accomplished stud dogs. Their influence helped shape generations of Brookhaven Cavaliers, contribute to countless AKC Champions, and strengthen breeding programs nationwide.
