Cavalier Talk

Happy New Years!

Well it is the start to a new year and a new decade in which we hope to achieve continued rewards with our beloved Cavaliers through their unconditional love and willingness to do everything they possibly can to make us smile.

I have neglected my Blog along with my website for sometime now…I discovered Facebook and Farmville, which opened up a whole new world of social communications that I have really enjoyed. I do need to keep my website up-to-date with the latest information I have learned along with trying to add a post to my blog each day referencing my website again. My website and blog allow me to express my artistic side along with the fact that I love to write and keep information gathered together in one location for easy reference…kinda like a journal I guess…my website has all my favorite links and as I learn new things through classes, reading books, or just living my life with my Cavaliers I really enjoying sharing what I learn with others. By sharing I have opened doors to so many emails, phone calls, along with meeting new people which has really enriched my life more than I ever expected.

I grew up as a single child and was a pretty quiet child when it came to school friends and having a big social life. I was pretty much a loner and always had a dog that was my very best friend. I am glad I am beginning to meet more people and especially other Cavalier enthusiasts.

I hope 2010 will open more doors up to me meeting more people that I can truly stay in touch with and call friends. Sometimes the best things in life just do not come with a price tag attached. I hope I can continue to cherish the simple things in life!

Most reputable breeders do not list their puppies for sale in newspapers or magazine ads and cannot be found on all-breed websites that are located all over the internet. Reputable breeders rely on word-of-mouth through fellow breeders, family and friends, previous families who have already purchased a puppy or parent club website referrals.

There are 2 acceptable registries for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

The CKCSC, USA is the original club established for Cavalier King Charles Spaniel back in 1954 by Mrs. Sally Lyons Brown before the Cavalier was recognized as a breed with AKC. The CKCSC, USA website has a breeders listing by state, and/or color preferences. To visit this website click here.

The AKC Parent club for Cavalier King Charles Spaniel’s is ACKCSC. To visit this website click here

Our Sheeba Magic Kingdom “Disney” does it again today in Wichita, Kansas capturing Winners Dog and Best of Winners. Today Disney was shown by Andi Scott’s daughter Taylor and surprised everyone when she came out on top with our boy again for the second day in a row winning back-to-back 3 point majors. Taylor is an experienced Junior Handler so we were honored to have her take the lead today.

Disney is now sitting at 8 points with both majors already completed and he has only attended 4 shows total so far winning 3 out of 4.

Once again we want to thank Andi Scott of Redbud Cavaliers (www.redbudcavaliers.com) located in Edmond, Oklahoma for taking such wonderful care of our boy, training him in such a short period of time, and handling him with the upmost professionalism.

We are happy to announce that our Sheeba Magic Kingdom “Disney” won a 3 point major today at the Wichita, Kansas Dog Show. He was handled by my good friend Andi Scott of Redbud Cavaliers located in Edmond, OK. (www.redbudcavaliers.com) Andi has been showing and breeding Cavalier King Charles Spaniels for over a decade and her pedigree lines began with Sheeba Cavaliers, which is located in Nebraska with Karin Ostmann. Andi Scott and Karin Ostmann both specialize in parti color Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (Blenheim and Tri Color), but Karin does have her first ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel now and we will have to wait and see if she ventures more into the whole colors in the coming years.

Disney is sired by AKC Ch Sheeba Emerald King x Sheeba Sound Of Music. He is 14 months old and we are very proud of his accomplishment today. Disney won 2 points last week at his showing debute in Claremore, Oklahoma so we are sitting at 5 points total right now. It takes 15 points to become an AKC champion and the points must consist of two majors and at least 3 different judges.

Today was Disney’s first time to show in the conformation show ring at an AKC sanctioned show event. He won his 12-18 month dog class and then went on to capture Winner’s Dog and earn his first two points towards his AKC championship title. Disney was handled beautifully by Andi Scott of Redbud Cavaliers who is a good friend of mine.

Disney, Sheeba Magic Kingdom, was bred by Karin Ostmann of Sheeba Cavaliers in Nebraska. He is sired by AKC Ch Sheeba Emerald King x Sheeba Sound Of Music. He was born January 6, 2008 and is 14 1/2 months old. He is a beautiful Blenheim with deep rich red markings on pearly white background. He has a very mushy head with a short muzzle and big brown eyes that just make you melt when you look at him. His head is by far his best asset.

I am so very proud of my boy for doing so well his first time out in the ring. We will keep you posted on his future accomplishments. For more information about our Cavaliers please visit our website at www.cruisincavaliers.com

Signs include most GI symptoms, including loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea.
