SLOVAKIA CAVALIER AND KING CHARLES SPANIEL CLUB
"I was delighted to be invited to judge this show on 6th September in Tomasov and spend a few days in this intriguing and beautiful country. Our host Edo Stloukal was truly amazing and took care of our every need and we relished spending time with him and visiting some of his favourite places in a country that he is so justifiably proud.
The show was held in an excellent venue, spacious and light. My ring steward was most charming and efficient and impossible to fault and I was ably assisted by two glamorous secretaries.The show ran like clockwork.
It was interesting to see how much influence dogs imported from the UK were beginning to have. My main winning dogs were mostly sired by dogs from well known kennels namely Miletree, Pascavale, Aranel, Volney and Sorata. My BEST IN SHOW.....Ch. Lambert Love Me was sired by Gayhalo Montreal. He also won the progeny class which included some very nice types. Overall it would appear that Cavaliers in Slovakia are on the upgrade. I had noted the the wholecolours had been praised in the past and indeed there was some of quality. Heads in particular without exception were very good and could easily be transferred onto particolours....no extra short muzzles here. The black and tans and rubies were shown in rich colours in full bloom but they were a little too large or too long for my interpretation of the standard. In the Veteran class were some very long lived dogs who moved around the ring with such enthusiasm and panache.
My Best In Show Ch. Lambert Love Me is a most striking show dog. A tricolour with an abundance of coat in perfect bloom and condition, really raven black with rich tan markings with a sweet head and expression, not easy in the tricolour. He moved with style keeping a level topline and level tail. Shown in exemplary fashion and extremely well handled. A dog that I feel could win anywhere. The one I really loved was my best puppy Gorgeous Gem Magnolia Passco who it transpired was sired by the BIS . This is a most attractive blenheim boy with not only a head piece that I really admired but was ideally proportioned in height to length ratio. He moved and was handled excellently by his young handler. This one must have a great future. If there are more pups like these then the Slovakian Cavaliers future looks bright" Michael A Brook (Lillico)

BLESS YOU
There were plenty of barks and licks on Sunday as Our Lady of Sorrows Church, Linwood, New Jersey USA, celebrated a blessing of the animals on the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint and friend to all animals. All varieties of dogs waited with their owners for Pastor Reverend Paul Hart to sprinkle each of the pets with holy water and bestow a blessing. Acknowledging that pets are very much a part of the family, Rev Hart said pets bestow on their masters encouragement, commitment and affection and demand so little in return.
