Greetings and Salutaions!
My name is Terrie and currently I am involved in showing Goldens in conformation,
agility and obedience. I have been lurking on this list for several months now and
have spent a little over a year researching the CKCS breed. I would like to
eventually share my life and hobbies with this delightful breed but not until I
have established my eye towards the nuances of correct type.
I would love some advice from the listers as to what I should add to my CKCS
library and also how some of you went about to find your mentor in the breed. I
have written to 4 well known breeders whose dogs I've seen pictures of that I
really admire, 3 in the US and 1 in the UK. Only one has offered to allow me to
visit and talk Cavaliers. I did inform all 4 that I was in a learning stage and
not ready to add a puppy. The other 3 have never responded back to me. In all
fairness, maybe they did not receive the e-mail or snail mail I sent. I will
eventually follow up with a phone call.
The books and publication I currently have are "The CKCS In N. America", "The CKCS
Today", all available past issues and current subscription to "The Royal
Spaniels", The UK Book of Champions, The Millenium Yearbook from the UK, all of
the ACKCS Annuals, The Illustrated Standard from the UK. What else should I add? I
was reading on the list about a magazine that some had or had not received, please
enlighten me.
I plan to attend the ACKCS National next May and if I can't make the CKCSUSA
Annual show this October, I will certainly go to next year's Annual. In addition,
I am hoping to visit the UK next year and meet some Cavalier people and take lots
of notes <G> I have attended Meredith Johnson-Snyder's judge's education seminar
which I thoroughly enjoyed. I hope to meet some of the listers at future shows and
I am anxiously awaiting your advice on proceeding with my education on this breed.
Kindest Regards,
Terrie:)
