<<<<<<<<Well, in the recent ACKCSC newsletter one of the directors wrote an article on how to give a "pet trim" to a Cavalier. That being the case, how far would complaining to the club go???
All the best, Susan Cochran>>>>> Excuse me Susan but this was clearly for a pet Cavalier who was not going to be shown - surely you don't expect ALL Cavalier to remain "totally untrimmed" for the whole of their lives? And this was written by Robert Schroll who, together with John, has preached the mantra of "no trimming" since before the Cavalier was AKC recognised - anyone who has been to one of their judging seminars will attest to the fact that the desirability of penalizing "trimmed" dogs in the showring has been constantly stressed. I regularly trim off some of my Cavaliers - the desexed and/or retired ones who don't need excessive coat in the hot summer weather, I tidy up the bitches before they are due to whelp etc. Lets keep our sense of perspective here - you don't want trimming in the showring - fine - but I can't, for the life of me, see what is wrong with making a dog with a lot of coat comfortable in hot weather! If for one know the difference between a Cavalier being shown and a Cavalier living as a household pet - and I presume others know the difference too Jeanie ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
