CAVALIERS IN ST MARK'S SQUARE

This was a gathering of Italian Cavalier lovers who met on Facebook and spent time together with their dogs in Venice. Some had travelled from Sicily, Milan, Turin and Mantua. Thanks to Sonia Viapiana for the photo.

DAM FINE PRODUCER

A bitch is limited to producing perhaps a handful of litters in her lifetime so is unlikely to compete on equal terms with a male dog who is popular as a stud. The often unsung brood bitch heroines can play a big part in the production and there have been several over the years who have shown their capability and have been recognised for their contribution. 

Caroline Ackroyd Gibson (Toraylac) writes about one such bitch.

 "Toraylac Dido born in 22.10.2005 has been a very special girl for me. She is by Loranka’s  D’Artagnan out of another excellent brood Toraylac Exquisite and descends from an extremely strong bitch line going back to Ch Harana Christa of Toraylac and my very first cavalier born in 1983, Roxanna Litina of Stonepit. The girls have so little chance to make a big impact on the breed, as opposed to the stud dog, but I think that this proves just how important it is to concentrate on quality girls who might or might not be show dogs. "Dido" is mismarked but has never passed this on to her progeny. Her very special mate has been Maibee Perfect Touch of Charnavale and together they have sired 10 pups of whom 8 have made an impact on the show world including top winners, Toraylac Perfect Passion JW 2CC’s 4RCC’s, Aust.Ch Toraylac Masterpiece, BIS winning Toraylac Mastermind (Poland), Toraylac Masterstroke (France),Toraylac Sebastian (Italy).  

And I am so proud of another Dido daughter, Toraylac Henrietta, owned by Marlen Blessman, who at 10 months old at Germany’s most important show won the Bundesjugendsiegerin and German Junior Champion (VK) and more recently took the CACIB at Hannover under breed judge Simone Frankenberg and is now a VDH Junior Champion."

BOOK WORM?

 from Ruth Smith...to whom we are indebted for this chance to delve into the Past.

Mr Michael Quinney judged the dogs at the West of England CKCS Club Championship Show on 9th October 1982. The CC (his first) went to (Ch) Cinola Super Tramp Of Deeriem, bred by Mrs B. Evans and owned by Mrs Sheelagh Allerton, this fourteen month old blenheim is by Cinola Status Quo x Cinola Sheryl of Tinydells. 

ROLL UP, ROLL UP...ALL  THE FUN OF THE FAIR 

Mat Morse wrotes from Melbourne. "Will is recently back from a wonderful weekend in Tasmania where 'Sabre' won BEST IN SHOW at the CKCSC of TASMANIA SPECIALTY under Judge Beth Warman from New Zealand. She then went on, 2 days later, to win BEST IN GROUP and RUNNER UP BEST IN SHOW at the Tasmanian Kennel Club All Breeds Championship Show. These results gained "Sabre" her Supreme title, now known as Supreme Ch Matmor Fun O The Fair.
She is the first Cavalier bitch to gain this title which was introduced in July this year. To gain a Supreme title, a dog must gain 1000 points at Championship shows including 10 Best In Groups or/and Specialty Best In Shows. 'Sabre' is co-owned with Jodie & Glenn Wilshier (Cavlamour). Not to be out done,  Ch Matmor Duke Ellington won the DCC at both shows.

LOOK OUT PAVAROTTI

Tatiana Karaseva from St Petersburg thinks her young Blenheim has ambitions to sing at the Mariinsky Theatre. Until he becomes a great tenor he has to be content with an audience made up of his father, brother and sister!

SMART IN TARTAN

Sheena Maclaine (Pennygown) and James Finlay (Marisk/Gilderoak) were suitably attired in Tartan when they judged at the Scottish CKCSC Championship show. Jane Molineaux has kindly sent the photos with some of their winners.

There may only be a few still around our Breed who knew Mrs Sybelle Davis and her Gotha Cavaliers who lived in Milton in the Newark area.  In her late 80s, she sadly  passed away on 12th October 2012. Until two years ago she still had a couple of Cavaliers.  The funeral will be at Sherwood Forest Crematorium at 3pm on 7th November 2012.  The most memorable dogs that she owned was her Eyeza Paean of Sunninghill. Gillian Greenall rang me with the news and should anyone want to make a donation in respect of Sybelle's memory, these should go to the HUMBERSIDE CAVALIER RESCUE. Our condolences to her family at this sad time.

and finally ....REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER

...off this weekend to Welsh Cavalier show...watch this space for pics...
