OVERSEAS MEMBERS & YEARBOOKS
All Overseas Yearbooks were dispatched yesterday (Monday). To all our Overseas Members we can only apologise for the delay in dispatching. Firstly all the Year Books went to our Championship Show in March in the hope that we could save postage with as many as possible being collected. From the show they went back to our storage and we went straight into lockdown and were unable to access. This was the first year that we greatly reduced the "waste" and produced fewer books as they are initially only for Members however this has not left us with lots to spare and there have been lots of concerns with regard to the handling of post overseas with items reported as getting lost. We very much hope that as we all start to relax our lockdowns that the coveted Year Book arrives safely. Our 2020 Year Book is currently being discussed by the Committee due to a very "unusual" year to say the least – however we may have some interesting historical material in our archives that merit inclusion in a publication so watch this space for an update! In the meantime we hope that everyone keeps safe and enjoys their Cavaliers at home until we can take part in all our doggy activities again. Sheena Maclaine Chairman |

You may need to kennel your dog if you have to go into hospital … or during a time when you feel you are being pulled in every direction due to family troubles. Any one of the three Trustees will be pleased to discuss your situation and it may well be that we can help towards the problem financially by ensuring your dogs are properly cared for during that time. The Benevolent Fund does not pay veterinary fees, but may be able to help in other respects. Please don’t hesitate to ask … all calls to us are totally confidential and no details are ever passed on.

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. Click to read the KC Press Release and for links to the FAQ. For full details of the scheme and links to Regional Cardiologist Specialist please visit the Kennel Club CKCS Heart Scheme Section. |

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. |
