I don't know who wrote this "most have Tartan or Celtics in the first 3 generations" but I don't think you are doing enough homework. Also, when you type "Celtics" of what dog are you speaking? I can guess but I want you to say...because there was no dog named Celtics. Perhaps it might occur to you that the pedigrees you are looking at are only a very small percentage of the dogs that are around today......or even a few years ago. There are MANY lovely Cavaliers in whose pedigrees neither Tartan nor the dog I suspect you mean when you say Celtics appear. Those people may not have advertised, however. I realize that these may be the only sources of information available to you (and most of us) in hard print.....which is why one needs to get to know people who know the dogs of old times. And more than one person, for that matter.....because Joe Doakes may say only the lines from kennel A are worth bothering about and never touch kennel B, but if you speak to Johnny Blokes, he will say the opposite. It is worth spending the time and effort to find out who really knows the dogs behind the dogs of today...one or more truly trustworthy people. It's hard to do, but not impossible. Peggy
