Hi! My name is Penny Schmit. I'm your host here at Smileyview
Acres in Plainview Minnesota; we are 25 miles NE of Rochester
Minnesota. My family and I raise and show the Cavalier King
Charles Spaniels; they are the perfect all around family friend
and companion dog, and we also have puppies for sale when available.
The
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a delightfully
affectionate, playful, intelligent little dog breed that repays his
owner's care and attention with an endearing devotion. Because of four hundred years
of close contact with their owners and their development as lap
dogs, they make wonderful companions. They are happy,
outgoing, loving little dogs who want to love you and be loved, to
run and play in a safe place and to sleep in a soft bed - preferably
your bed, but they're willing to negotiate on that point! They get
along will with children, cats and other dogs.
Our dogs
are part of our family. They are treated with love and respect.

Our family farm is named ’Smileyview
Acres' because of the smiley face that is in the field
by our home. It's a landmark here in Plainview,
Minnesota. |
