I have always had rescue dogs, but this time for various reasons I find myself looking for a puppy bitch, of a specific breed - Cavalier. I'd especially love a tricolour, like my childhood dog.

As I'm being specific, I have to look actively, and it's a popular breed, so 90% of the breeders are either well intentioned back-yarders or full-on puppy farmers. I don't have mega money, so I don't want KC champ, so that rules out the high-end breeders.

How do I find someone 'nice' and make sure I'm not funding some terrible shed somewhere where the poor things are being bred to death?
 
You could contact the breed society, tell them your requirements and ask for a list of recommended breeders? This would help ensure that the parents have been subjected to the required health tests for the breed.
