UK CAVALIER IS 2012 TOP DOG ALL BREEDS IN GERMANY
(from l-r)P and R Towse, M Kirschbaum, K Vorderstrasse, Herr Lange Eukanuba Germany, Moderator VDH Herr Kupernik
Ch Miletree Constellation owned and bred in the UK by Peter and Ruta Towse was thrilled to see "Sonny" win Germany TOP DOG ALL BREEDS 2012. Having already achieved his UK title, he then holidayed with Klaus Vorderstrasse and Markus Kirschbaum in Germany for a spell and did so well at German Champion shows, especially at Group/Best in Show level, that he saw off all the other top German competition and was given the honour of going GERMAN DOG OF THE YEAR. This prestigious title meant he and Klaus had the opportunity to represent Germany in the Eukanuba World Challenge in November in Orlando, Florida USA.,,,,and he did this superbly getting into the last 12 and was a great ambassador for the Cavalier breed.

DARCY PLAYS DASH
Queen Victoria was born at Kensington Palace and spent her childhood there under the watchful eye of her mother. It was Kensington Palace where she was informed of the death of her uncle King William IV in 1837 and became Queen, and also the place where she first set eyes on her beloved Prince Albert. It was Queen Victoria who first opened Kensington Palace, her childhood home, to the public in 1899. In 2013, a Cavalier set foot once again in the Palace.
Veronica Hull (Telvara) had a phone call from Kensington Palace asking if she could provide a
Tricolour Cavalier for a 3 day production taking place at the Palace, featuring "Queen Victoria and her Cavalier Dash".
Veronica writes "It was great fun.... and the young 'Queen Victoria' fell head over heels in love with my "Darcy". I pre-warned them he wouldn't do tricks... and they assured me he would just have to be handled by actors, walk down a staircase with a 'Queen's Aid' and be cuddled by 'the Queen'. After the finale there would be a photo call when 'Dash' would be petted by the audience. "Darcy" wore his diamante collar and a Schwarts Crystal tag which gleamed under the Palace lights... and he was as good as gold.
The theme of this period piece is Victoria's Diaries.... and of course in these now historic documents, she refers to her favourite little Spaniel 'Dash' all the time . Each day the actress playing the Queen's role, opens a different silver bauble, like an Advent Calendar ..... and today it contained a photo of her much loved parrot...

Dear Cavalier friends, in 2012 we started with the breeding program under the name “Cavaliers for life”. In order to realize this program we require a substantial budget. This budget is needed for the full‐time researcher at the University
and for the working costs.
Thanks to the scientific commission of the Belgian Kennel Club, the Dutch Kennel Club, many breeders and individuals, we have been able to raise a certain amount of money. Unfortunately this amount falls short to start the project. But a windfall has blown our way. The Agency for Innovation by Science and Technology (IWT) of the Flemish Government has granted a specialist
scholarship for a period of 4 years to Katrien Wijnrocx of the research group. “Livestock Genetics” from the University of Leuven (KU Leuven). The subject is to be "Sustainable breeding of dogs, breed specific strategies
for the reduction of hereditary health problems in dog breeds".
The goal of this scholarship is to develop a “mate select type program” that will be based on Estimated Breeding Values (EBV”s),taken from all types of heath testing results, including DNA, eye tests, MRI scans,
cardiologist reports etc, and to offer a reduction of the inbreeding coefficient. The Cavalier is the centerpiece of this program.
The program has the full collaboration of “Cavaliers for life”. The Cavalier will be first breed in the world to use this mate select system.
Thanks to the funds for this scholarship and our own financial resources it is now finally possible to start with our health program for a period of 4 years.
We must grab this unique opportunity with both hands. To achieve this project, we need the support and co operation of all breeders, Cavalier clubs, Kennel clubs and studbook references.
We are therefore calling upon all the Cavalier clubs from the various countries to announce this project to their members and we invite everybody to join the project and in this way contribute directly to the future of our breed and to that of all dog breeds.
