About Us
Meet the man behind Cavalier Corral — over 25 years of breeding experience and a lifelong passion for dogs.
Our Story
Hello, my name is Lee Vogelsong. I’m a father of two daughters and two sons, and I’ve been a dog trainer for over 30 years — many people know me as “The Dog Whisperer.” I have over 25 years of experience in dog breeding as well, and dogs have always been something I’m good with, from basic obedience all the way to service and therapy dog training, scent detection, and protection work.
In 1990, I was raising, training, and breeding AKC English Springer Spaniels — both field and show quality — while also doing extensive obedience training across many breeds. During that time, I owned my first Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and I can honestly say I’ll never breed another dog again. Cavaliers were bred to be companions, and that purpose still shows in their temperament today.
By the early 2000s, I owned three Cavaliers and started breeding on a small scale. Around the same time, I expanded into training service and therapy dogs for the disabled through Assistance Dogs of America Inc. (now Assistance Dogs for Achieving Independence). While larger breeds like Labs and Goldens are typically used for physical retrieving tasks, Cavaliers — often called miniature Golden Retrievers in temperament — are exceptional therapy dogs, which is one of the biggest reasons I chose to breed them.
Our Passion
What started small has grown alongside my own experience and reputation over the years. I’ve built a breeding program centered on heavily championed Cavaliers, suited for the show ring, small dog agility, therapy work, or simply becoming the perfect family companion. My own children have pursued certification as service dog trainers alongside me, and this work is truly hands-on from the moment a puppy is born. My goal is to raise puppies who are well-rounded, confident, and socialized — a lifelong friend for whatever family brings them home.
