Reduced Accidents
Faster, more reliable potty training.
Better Sleep
Crate comfort ensures quiet nights from day one.
Social Success
Confident, polite interactions with guests and family.
Peace of Mind
You welcome a companion, not a project.

Our Happy Families Speak!🥰
Adopting a puppy is a huge decision. We encourage you to read the stories of the families across the country who have welcomed a healthy, socialized Cavapoo, Cavapoochon, or Cavalier from Puppies On The Gulf into their homes.
Happy fall! Sugar Bear is doing well and has been a picture of health. At 1 year, she weighed in at 13.5 lbs. She is a happy girl and enjoys her daily 1 mile walks on the leash. She also loves having the run of the property in the afternoons. She has learned to sit, stay, tippy-toe and knows “off”, the last being her least favorite! She loves to fetch her ball. She is smart, likes to please and has mastered potty training. We are so happy she is ours and a part of our family. We hope you, and yours, are well.
