TREASURE TROVE
The Humberside Cavalier Club held a Companion Dog show on 28th April at Great Hale, near Sleaford in Lincolnshire. Judge was Sue Paterson (Phrenchy). This was in aid of Humberside CKCS Club Health Fund which enables the club to offer FREE Heart Testing to their members at their Championship Show.
Joanne Hall writes....It was a wonderful and brilliant show run by Pat & Brian
Esson the show organizers who they do a brilliant job in raising
money for charity. The show started at 9am with the Pedigree classes first, after
that was the Cavalier Parade
where all15 cavaliers walked
round just like being at a show and then the judge looked at each dog.
She then chose the Best of Breed first which was my 'Dallas' (Clockpelters The Viceroy) who was given these
wonderful prizes, a Trophy, Rosette & Sash. Linda Flynn, secretary of the Club was there meeting us all and giving us a Medal for taking part in the Parade. When the Parade had finished the handling
classes started followed by Companion show classes like, Most handsome dog, waggiest tail,
best mover, appealing eyes etc. These classes are mixed with dogs/bitches of
different ages and breeds.
"Dallas"
Marisa Colavecchia also took home some goodies when'Lacey' was Best Bitch,'Benjy' won Best rehomed Cavalier and together with Lidia she won Best Handler in show.
The show was a roaring success and raised a staggering £621 and an additonal £624 from a photographic competition.

An update from Margaret (Newton)"Have made a
good recovery and am able to do more than I thought I would be able to
do. Just cannot lift (this includes dogs)
and cannot mow the grass, I have driven a short distance over the last few days but
wouldn’t want to go too far. Thanks everyone for their cards it
is nice to know one has so many friends who care"
...we look forward to seeing you back amongst us soon, Margaret...so hurry up and get well.
The first Appointment on the 27th April was the Canterbury Cavalier Championship Show which was held at the McLeans Island Kennel Centre in Christchurch.
My main winners were Best Dog and Best in Show was 6 yr old Grand Ch Nidra Fortune Chest with Prestonville, Best Bitch and Reserve Best in Show was Prestonville Whispering with Milford. Reserve Best Dog was Ch Cavtrivar Mystery Eko and Reserve Best Bitch was Travilla Over the Top at Greygables.
The show had a lovely atmosphere and the hard working ladies on the Committee put on a fantastic spread at lunch time.
My main winners were Best Dog and Best in Show was Ch Cobbets Cockney Rebel (Imp UK), Best Bitch and Reserve Best in Show was Supreme Ch Matmor Fun O The Fair. Reserve Best Dog was Ch Melloway Adrenaline Rush, who is son of Cockney Rebel. Reserve Best Bitch came from the same kennel with Ch Melloway Magnifique, who again was sired by Cockney Rebel.
Again it was another well run show with a friendly atmosphere where David and I were made very welcome.
After nearly 3 weeks away it was time to pack out bags and head back home from what I can only describe as a trip of a lifetime."
Now that DNA testing for Curly Coat/Dry Eye and Episodic Falling Syndrome has become an official KC scheme, the Animal Health Trust have received requests to release results for individual dogs so that they will appear on the KC online Health Test Results Finder, be included on KC registration documents, and be recorded in the Breed Records Supplement. Owners wishing test results from the research to be released to the KC are required to contact the AHT directly to provide consent. Reporting of these results should be entirely voluntary. Requests can be made by emailing Lou Hayward at lou.hayward@aht.org.uk and these will be processed as quickly as possible if the subject line reads "Cavalier DNA test results" and the body of the email contains the KC registered name of the dogor dogs involved and a statement to the effect that the owner gives their permission for DNA test results to be released to the KC. Lou can also be reached by post at Lou Hayward (CPM), Animal Health Trust, Lanwades Park, Kentford, Newmarket CB8 7UU. Telephone requests will not be accepted for security reasons. If the ownership of a Cavalier has changed since the study was completed in April 2012, the new owner will be asked to send a copy of the dog's current KC registration certificate by email or post.
