Mrs K H Lamont (Moorfields) |
Many thanks to the officers and committee of the Cavalier Club for inviting me to judge at this special show. Thank you to my two excellent ring stewards Lesley and Becky who kept everything running so efficiently, it was a long day for them. It was an honour to judge so many top-class dogs and youngsters., my thanks to all the exhibitors for their entries. I was delighted with the quality, and found excellent dogs in all four colours. Conformation and movement were overall very good, as was temperament and presentation. Heads were correct in general, with well tapered muzzles and soft expression, however, in correcting those short faces which had crept in, we must be careful not to overdo length of muzzle and lack of fill as the gentle expression can then be lost. Everything in moderation. I was delighted with the quality of my main winners and line up, and was splitting hairs for top honours on the day. All in all, a wonderful experience. |

1st |
Chapman & Ireland’s |
Ch Ellemich American Express What can be said about this epitome of Cavalier breed type? A glorious blenheim shown in excellent coat and condition, from the top drawer. I loved everything about him from his beautiful head to his happily wagging tail. Such a great reach of neck, well laid shoulders, good spring of rib, well angulated rear. He flowed around the ring maintaining his table topline at all times and oozed personality. He could not be denied the top honour. CC and Best in Show. |
2nd |
Spall & Clark’s |
Llapsttam’s Heavenly Scent Gorgeous ruby who is a super model of the breed standard. Head and expression to die for, I couldn’t keep my eyes off it. Elegant in every way, body stunning in construction and movement. He was just pipped by the glamour and showmanship of one. Reserve CC. |

I would like to thank the Committee for the invitation to judge at this show – I was honoured and had a wonderful day judging a large quality entry. Thanks must also go to my two Stewards, Richard and Terry, who managed the proceedings. The biggest thank you however must go to all the exhibitors who entered and then had the stamina to keep going through an exceptionally long and warm day.
Two observations; sadly, correct Cavalier eyes seem to be the exception rather than the rule and back movement left a lot to be desired in many exhibits. However, I was thrilled with my winners and after all judging is all about compromise. For BIS Mrs Lamont and I mutually agreed to let the Referee, Mr M Smith, make the final decision as we both liked each other’s ticket winner. Mr Smith gave the nod to the very handsome dog for BIS – many congratulations on another wonderful win. Mrs Lamont and I were in full agreement on the remaining awards.

Lovely size with the correct construction which enabled easy correct movement (she could teach a few of the others a thing or two about correct foot fall). She showed well and attentively to her owner. I was pleased, in complete agreement which my co-judge, that she was awarded BVIS. |

Russmic Olivia Rose A nice class with some promising puppies but for me the winner shone. 7 month old Ruby who has a very bright future. She is well balanced with lovely angulation throughout topped with a coat of the richest colour. She moved well both ways holding herself with poise.

She moved and showed well and is very attentive to her handler, however it is always nice to see puppies having a bit of fun and not just playing statues! |

She has a lovely shape which catches the eye both standing and on the move. Nicely angulated and this enables good movement, sometimes her excitement means she is a little erratic but saw enough to prove she can move and why shouldn’t girls have fun! |

Vina Minelli Du Chateau Noblesse mit Carleeto (imp Deu) The new ‘kid’ on the block and she definitely made her mark!

Well angulated with a level topline and nice tail set. She moved well both ways again when settled. Two lovely puppies who, I am sure, will change places. |

Pascavale Shanice My star of the day! In the final line up every time I caught sight of her, she was stood four square gently wagging her tail and even after a long warm day she just continued showing. A true toy spaniel who epitomises femineity and shouts breed type. She has a classic head with lovely eyes – large, round and dark. The remainder of her did not disappoint; well bodied and so balanced with a good length of neck in ratio to her body. She held a level topline, being well angulated meant that she moved well and flowed round the ring. Her body is topped with an abundance of quality coat which was presented to perfection. Hopefully she will soon have her crown. I was pleased to award her the CC and the with my co-judge’s complete agreement RBIS.
