Terri, having been in the breed for only about five years, let me assure you
that there are certain people in the breed who will refer to you as a
"newbie" in most demeaning posts forever. There are people in the world who
love to share the things that bring them joy....and there are people in the
world who hourd the things that bring them joy. As you continue in this
lovely, generous, friendly breed of dog....just mimic the dogs behavior and
ignore people who would like to own the only cavaliers in the world. Myra
