Here is what this person sent back in response to my email.............
Dear P. Moesinger,
Thanks for writing! I can understand that Cavalier breeders are upset
about the Toy Cavalier Spaniel. But it was not anyone's intention to
represent them as being Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in any way. They are
a totally seperate breed altogether. I am not the originator of the Toy
Cavalier Spaniel, just the first person to put them on my website. We love
the looks and temperament of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel but my
husband is disabled, and a larger dog does not fit well on his lap in a
wheelchair. So when I heard about the smaller cavalier type dogs we were
thrilled, as now my husband could have a companion that he liked too.
When we bought our Toy Cavalier Spaniel from another breeder, we were
so taken with her that we wanted more. That is how we got started with the
Toys. We did not do it for a money making scheme or any other reason than we
love these little dogs!
All new breeds started somewhere and people with new breeds have
always had to endure alot to get where they have gotten. There have been
several new dog breeds introduced in the last few years and many new cat
breeds. Usually these are created because everyone likes something
different! That is what make life interesting. The Cavalier King Charles
Spaniel in it's present form would not be around today if it was not for
Roswell Eldridrge who redeveloped the breed. Every breed had a start
somewhere. We wanted to do things right, so we researched on how to start a
new breed and have gotten help from some very nice people. In order to start
a new breed, a breed club must be formed with a show standard and code of
ethics and it's own registry. After the breed has consistant type for
several generations then they can apply for rare breed show status with the
rare breed associations. We also require that any Cavalier King Charles
Spaniels that are in the background be heart and eye clear. We do not
require OFA as the smaller dogs so far have not had any hip problems, but if
any ever show up then it will be required too. Since the Toy Cavalier
Spaniels are a different breed, the standard is different and more colors
are allowed. As I said before, we are not trying to represent these dogs as
being Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, mislead or offend people in any way,
if you have gotten that impression then I am sorry.
Take care & God Bless,
Lynda
