In 2026, something new will emerge from “von der Villa Kunterbunt”: “from european chocolates”. In addition, we are planning to establish an association dedicated to preserving and promoting the health
of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Welcome to “from european chocolates” and “von der Villa Kunterbunt” Cavalier King Charles Spaniels – with heart, responsibility and a vision for the future
For many people, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is far more than just a dog: a beloved family member, a source of comfort, a loyal companion and truly a heart on four paws. With their affectionate nature, gentleness and exceptional bond with people, Cavaliers have captured the hearts of dog lovers around the world for generations.
It is precisely because of this deep connection that we have developed the desire not simply to breed Cavaliers, but to help guide the breed consciously, responsibly and sustainably towards a healthier future.
Why we are taking a new path
We love the Cavalier – and that is exactly why we also recognise the challenges that can be associated with the breed. Many health concerns cannot be addressed through individual everyday decisions alone. They are also linked to a breed standard that, in some respects, is considered outdated and does not always meet modern expectations regarding health, soundness and sustainable breeding.
One thing has become very clear to us:
We cannot change the breed standard on our own.
But together, we can achieve much more.
That is why we have decided to take a new path – international, open and connected, with the goal of achieving genuine and lasting improvements for the breed.
Working together internationally – for a healthier future
We firmly believe that responsible breeding today means much more than simply breeding beautiful dogs.
It is about:
- Health and quality of life
- Stable, well-balanced family dogs
- Long-term breeding strategies instead of short-lived trends
- Exchange and cooperation with experienced breeders and experts
- Transparency, knowledge and continuous development
For this reason, we want to strengthen our international network, work together with breeders who share our values, and jointly support projects and approaches that can help lead the breed towards a healthier future.
Our new name: “from european chocolates”
To make this new direction clearly visible to the outside world, we have decided to use the names “from european chocolates” and “von der Villa Kunterbunt”.
For us, this step represents much more than simply a new name – it represents an attitude and a philosophy:
Crossing borders, sharing responsibility and achieving more together.
“from european chocolates” is intended to be a symbol of our determination not to stand still, but to continue thinking ahead. It represents our willingness to evolve, explore new paths and connect with people who share the same vision:
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels that are not only beautiful, but above all healthy, resilient and full of joy for life.
