I just reviewed the standard and the 'interpretation' in Margaret Workman's The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I don't see where ticking OR freckles are addressed in the standard! I've sure read a lot on this list that the ticking is very much not preferred, but I don't read where it is addressed in the standard at all. Maybe I'm just not reading correctly.
