Actually I do have quite an indication on how these guys differ from other breeds after only a very limited amount of exposure with them. I had the pleasure of meeting Annette's Timsar gang and became so enamored with them I was wondering if Annette was going to pat me down and check my pockets before I left VBG Then this past weekend at the National I shared a room with friends who had 10 Cavaliers in with us that they were showing, spent time with Lamont and Char's Cavaliers and met fellow list mate Laura's Cavaliers (congratulations again Laura). Believe me that I am fully aware that these little guys are going to take over my life in a big way. Yes, I am definitely ready to get a Cavalier, but you know those old cliches...patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait.
