Hi all, I, too, am a pet owner first and foremost, but I have also taken on the responsibilities of breeding my Cavaliers. Breeders should definitely be those that are in control of breed clubs as those that are only pet owners do not have the same experiences nor the same 'investment' in this 'sport'. One of the most difficult aspects of being a breeder, in my opinion, is placing puppies in the most apropriate home. Also, in my opinion, the rift will never be repaired until the old club ceases to act as a registry body. In my opinion, dual registry is only pushing people apart and is not in the best interests of the breed.
