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 to view the current standings for the Top 20 and Top 10. |

New heart scheme for Cavaliers to undergo trial phase
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. |
