My friend Malia posted this – she has been showing dogs just one year.

Officially official. Both girls have gotten their Grand Championship titles and after last weekend are well on their way to bronze. Gracie has over 50 points and Savannah has over 40.

It’s been a whirlwind first year trying to learn as much as possible and me trying not be the reason they don’t succeed. I haven’t posted win results the last few weeks but they have both gotten multiple selects and BOSVs in great lineups of dogs. I’m so thankful for my friends who have supported me and “taught me the ropes” of dog shows. I love these two girls to bits.

My friend Malia took her dog Savannah to the Spokane “Bark in the park” event – Vannah-Voo as she is often known as, was made for dressing up and meeting her adoring fans – I love that the team even featured her online.

There is no doubt that show dogs are first and foremost beloved pampered pets. <3

Chilly but fun day at Coos Kennel Club!

Lucy Gray (Wilderness Can’t Take My Sass) won BOV 13” and Savannah Peach (CH Kazuri’s Gonna Be Peachy) won BOVOH both under judge Nathaniel Horn and Savannah went on to get her first OH group 4 under judge Carolyn Herbel. Little Lucy is still learning what life as a show dog means but had a great time. Congratulations Malia on your wins this weekend. Both girls are co-owned by Sarah at Kazuri 🙂

SO proud of my friend Malia – Today was a great day at Gig Harbor Kennel Club. Today Gracie got BOV 15” for a 5 point major to finish her Grand Championship! She also had another personal best of 10.10 seconds in fast cat despite the sweltering heat we have had here. Savannah also got Select Bitch for another 5 point major. Thank you to judge Helen Stein for recognizing both of them.

I love evenings where things are so beautiful. My older dogs are wonderful playmates for the 2 beagle and 3 remaining cavalier pups. Spring in Seattle has never been so wonderful.

We are so thankful to all the judges who have found Nick and awarded him over the last year. We appreciate the support for our team so much.

Thank you also to the amazing team at the The Canine Chronicle for this wonderful Ad published in the March edition.

I thought I would send out an update, as the last 12 months have been trying for me to say the least. 

I believe in transparency and honesty and so that is why I am sending out this letter as a public announcement of sorts – this is why I am not taking any cavalier waitlist names at this time, nor for the forseeable future.

Over the last 12 months, I have tried to breed a couple of girls.  I have been fortunate enough that Charlotte got pregnant twice – once with a litter of 4 and once with a litter of 3. 

However, I also bred 3 of my other girls (Phoenix, Chloe and Nellie).  None of these pregnancies took – well one of them took and it resulted in a miscarriage, and the other 2 just didn’t fall pregnant. 

On top of that, one of the girls that I have been waiting for (Summer), to come of age, so I could breed her for the first time failed a health test.  As an ethical breeder I have taken her out of my breeding program and she will be spayed soon.  It is a huge loss as you can imagine.    

Due to my small litters, missed pregnancies my waitlist has not really moved since 2020.  It makes me incredibly sad to think where I had hoped I would be right now, and the amazing families I had hoped to give a puppy to, and that not to have come to fruition.

So, why am I telling you this? 

It’s because I truly don’t know when I would be able to give you a puppy if i took your name at this time.  At this time I don’t have any girls I can breed in the near future, and so I think the best bet would be to talk to other ethical breeders.  

Please know this is very very difficult for me to say ☹  I do not take this lightly. 

I am extremely sorry about all of this.  My heart is pretty broken that this is how things are going right now.  Obviously much of this is out of my control, but I am still sorry.

If you are still looking, I would contact:

Alisha from Lockestar cavaliers

Kathi from Kendallkastle

Dawn from Legacy

Heidi from Covington

Sharon Macy from Rhoyal (if you are after a whole color)

Kym from Sweet Gold

Rick and Penelope from Pensrick

I wish you all the best in your quest to find your perfect furry companion.
