Hi Susan, I totally agree. Having had goldens before, and looking for a smaller
version as I age(yuck!) I happened upon the Cavalier. The standard is soooo similiar (except for head) and their temperment, movement (as the list has been discussing interestingly and extensively) and behaviors are so much like a sporting dog that, to me, it would be natural to have them in the sporting group. I do think I remember that when they first were being considered for recognition by the AKC there was discussion of which group they should be in (those with longer experience will know this for sure) sporting was considered. I'm not sure why they were not, although have this faint (that age thing again!) remembrance of referring to the companion nature of the cav as including them in the toy group. Does anyone out there know more about this?
