2014 CAVALIER

SPECIALTY

SHOW

VAXJO SWEDEN

Judges...

Peter Gustafsson (Vouges) Puppies

Norma Inglis (Craigowl) Adults

 

With over 100 Cavaliers entered and the FCI rule that there is a limit to the number of dogs that can be assessed by a judge in one day, this meant a second judge (Peter) was appointed to do the puppies. Every dog gets a written critique so a judge takes as long to judge 85 dogs in Europe as they would in the UK, where normally only the first 2 in each Championship class gets reported on. Here are some of the main winners.

Biography of  Charles Valton (1851 - 1918). Born in Pau, France in 1851. He was a student of both Antoine Louis Barye and Emmanuel Fremiet, capturing the finest points of both masters. From Barye, Valton learned the importance of detail and definition of his subjects and from Fremiet he received the sensitivity and ability to project his subjects in a natural state. From the age of fifteen Valton spent much of his time at the Jardin des Plantes with Barye and Fremiet who were both directors at that famous Paris zoological garden.  Valton exhibited over seventy models at the Paris Salon from 1868 until 1914 winning several medals. In 1883 he became Professor of sculpture at the Germain Pilon School and in 1906 Valton received the Cross of the Legion d'Honneur.  He is best known for his models of big cats as well as for using a mixture of materials in his sculpture such as white marble to depict snow or the use of granite as a base for his animals. 

PRICE....4800 Euro or best offer

The Cavalier community was saddened to hear that Colin, husband of Sue Mangham, had lost his struggle against a recent cancer diagnosis. Our heartfelt condolences to Sue and their family. Colin was a great supporter of Sue and the Charnavale Cavaliers and we will miss his quiet yet cheery presence around the ring.

Fascinating delve into Elsa-Marie Kitching'sfamily history. Elsa-Marie has the Ixion affix and lives in Wiltshire.   "This is a portrait of my ancestor, Kirsten Munk (1598 - 1658) who was the second wife of King Christian 1V of Norway and Denmark. She was, by all accounts, an exceedingly difficult lady with a hugely ambitious mother who pushed her forwards to seduce Christian after his Queen died. Insisting that as she was from The Nobility, she should marry the King and not become just one of his mistresses. Thus they married but not in church and Kirsten was never crowned as Queen. The marriage being morganatic ie two people of unequal social status marry but one does not receive the titles and remains un-crowned. She was awarded the title of Countess of Schleswig-Holstein. Kirsten was cunning, guileful and made many enemies. The only thing she had in common with Christian’s first wife, Anne Catherine was her love of toy spaniels, as you can see from the portrait above painted by Jacob Van Doordt in 1623.  From his two wives and three mistresses, King Christian had no less than 24 children and Kirsten Munk gave birth to twelve of them, in a fourteen year period."

Linda Kubin from California writes about her special girl. "My wonderful 15 year old  "Birdie" passed away October 9th 2014. Her date of birth was June 17th, 1999. She was my heart dog and I miss her terribly. I still have her 12 1/2 year old daughter out of Ch. Maibee Royal Revenge, her granddaughter, Ch. Greyhawk Sweet Sensation (out of Ch. Rytonion Princetown), she is 7 1/2 year olds,  and her great granddaughter, GCH. Greyhawk Edge of Glory (almost 3) out of Ch. Lanola Santiago (Montrose son) and her baby, Greyhawk Trouble with the Curve, (out of Ch. Maibee Perfect Pitch). Birdie, sired by Keyingham Christian x Grantilley Ocean Dream. Birdie had been in good health until the day she died and had a stroke whilst out for her early morning wee."Bless you Birdie...sleep well
