SOMETHING BIG IS HAPPENING. . . .
7th & 8th SEPTEMBER, HANGAR ONE, SYWELL AERODROME, NORTHAMPTON NN6 0BN Calling all Cavalier Enthusiasts from pet owners to the stars of the show world
Saturday 7th September offers something for everyone not to be missed – First we whet your appetite with the Cavalier KCS Club’s Open Show ... Jo (Carleeto) Lewis looks forward to her judging appointment (entries must be made in advance see the Open Show schedule).
Not interested in showing but love everything Cavalier bring yours along for a fun day out – Noah Tarabad is judging the Companion Cavalier Classes with entries on the day. We bet you think your Cavalier has the waggiest tail or the most appealing eyes. We are all looking forward to seeing which one Noah would like to take home!!! During the afternoon the 3 mystery judges will start the preliminary judging for the Top 20 COMPETITION – assessing for conformation and the evening will see this competition rolled out under the spotlights. Come dine with us, vote for the People’s Choice winner and enjoy the usual camaraderie amongst like minded friends! This event is not about showing & winning. It is not about the food. The last points will be added on 27th July with the RED LETTER DAY being 30th July when invites will arrive in the post! It is an honour to be invited and equally an honour to be able to celebrate with fellow breeders. It is supporting our Club, bringing people together in a celebration of our breed, without which we would not all be here! If you have never been to a dog show and would just like to see some of the most beautiful Cavaliers presented to you on the red carpet then don’t miss the opportunity to book your tickets. Need somewhere to stay – without dogs you will find the Aviator Hotel on site, with dogs you can book the caravan/camping field – details in the Championship Show schedule or on our Combined Championship Show Information page, ..... or you can book into the nearest Travelodge that is dog friendly. No need to leave your dogs unattended during the evening’s proceedings – dogs in travel crates can wait patiently for you in Hangar Two adjacent and connected to Hangar One. Energy & enthusiasm for day 2.... SUNDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER is the Joint Cavalier Club’s Championship Show with the usual classes and lots more prizes to be won. Judges, Jeannie Boyd & Sheena Maclaine, are really looking forward to the day. For the hardened exhibitors that always get caught for donating to the raffle you have a chance to win a Dyson Hairdryer to speed up the hand finishing! All Cavalier Club Members will be getting a free Buffet Lunch provided by the Aviator for the Club (can also be booked for family, friends or by visitors – see the Championship Show schedule). If you are bringing family along I am sure they will enjoy seeing the small aircraft take to the skies and if you are lucky the old Spitfire will be there to see at first hand. |

THE CAVALIER CLUB’S TOP 20
The Cavalier Club’s Top 20 Gala Dinner is fast approaching – the date for your diary is the evening of 7th September! 3 mystery judges have been booked for this event and we thought you might like to see who is in the running at this stage with 11 shows left to enter! Whilst it is unlikely that there will be huge changes to the top 10 on points there could be some newcomers pushing in to the top 20 .... might one of those be yours? There is still time to get entries in for a few of the June/July shows. We very much hope that as many of you as possible will want to get together to spectate and book your dinner place, or perhaps even a table of friends, and enjoy a red carpet night for these lucky ones! Don’t forget you also have a chance to vote for the People’s Choice too! Click for more information. Click to view the current standings for the Top 20 and Top 10. |

New heart scheme for Cavaliers
A new heart scheme for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has been developed by the Kennel Club (KC) and Veterinary Cardiovascular Society (VCS) in consultation with Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed clubs. The KC/VCS heart scheme, which is the first collaboration between all parties involved, is set to trial 100 dogs over the coming months before it rolls out to all Cavalier breeders and owners later in the year.The aim is to reduce the prevalence of Mitral Valve Disease (MVD), a deadly heart disorder in Cavaliers that affects more than 40% of the breed in the UK alone.

Looking For a Puppy? - CKCS Puppy Register The Cavalier Club runs a register of puppies available from Club Members who can put details of puppies and older dogs they have for sale on the Cavalier Club Puppy Register. The Club has recently introduced a slightly more formal system for placing a dog on its Register. A form now needs to be completed which can be downloaded from the Puppy Register Pages. The form includes details of any health certificates obtained for the parents, so that prospective puppy buyers can have more information before visiting a possible puppy. If you wish to add your dogs to the Club’s Register, download the Puppy Register Form and send to The Co-ordinator. Anyone looking to purchase a puppy is recommended to contact one of the Club Puppy Register Co-ordinators, Veronnica Hull, telephone 01268 727248 and Sylvia Lymer, telephone 01530 831929, for details of puppies available. - Puppy Register When your puppies have been sold would you please advise the Puppy Register Co-Ordinator so that they may be removed from the lists. |
Show Critiques
We endeavour to publish ALL Championship Show critiques on Cavaliers. However if you are judging at a Cavalier Breed Club Limited or Open Show, we would love to have the results and your critique to publish for all to read. If you would like us to publish it just send it attached to an email to the Webmaster or by snail mail to Dave Norris. Unlike some of the Dog Press, we do not edit any critique, what the Judge sends us is what appears. |
