We have just returned from the show where we stayed, together with Lucy and Di Koster, to watch Joyce and "Milo" compete in the Toy Group which was judged by Ellis Hulme. Although he didn't manage to get into the four finalists he was shortlisted for consideration and put up a good show and represented the Breed splendidly. Having no one at home to telephone the good news to as most of her friends were there at the show Joyce was frantic to tell someone of her good fortune. Lucky you were in, Ellie! There were 291 Cavaliers there with Molly Coaker doing the dogs and Heather Wheeler doing the bitches. Rita Gora did not appear and Heather was asked to judge as a stand in at the last moment. No one seemed to know what had happened to Rita. There has been speculation since the entry closed that she might not be up to doing it. It seems the rumours were not without substance. We had no complaints with the change winning Puppy dog, Puppy bitch, Novice dog, Undergraduate bitch, 2nd in Mid limit and 4th in Postgraduate dog. So a good day! "Haagen Dazs" also sired the Minor Puppy dog winner owned by Karen Sandlan who won Best Puppy dog. Best Puppy bitch and Best Puppy in Breed was Sylvia Lymer's. A sweltering day which was uncomfortable for the dogs. Mine are glad to be home and enjoying unwinding in the cool garden. Something they look forward to after a long drive home and being cooped up all day on the bench. Onto the next show....the Northern Cavalier next week. Norma (Craigowl) UK
