Barb Here in the UK we have several monthly "Dog" magazines They list a contact person for almost every breed - "me" for Cavaliers - makes my phone line busy when the mag is first out but at least I can give them the puppy register co-ordinators telephone numbers. Each regional club has a puppy register Also I find that quite a lot of the general public will ring the Kennel Club for the "names of reputable breeders" The KC will give them my telephone number as well as sending the person there own puppy register The enquiries at the moment are never ending - one of the TV stations is running an advert that has Cavaliers in - darn it!!
