8 A picture of a litter of tri-color cavalier puppies in 1990 set in motion my passion for cavaliers. After several months researching the breed, I was fortunate to find a very pretty but lightly marked blenheim, Ravenrush Ingenue Piper. Piper was soon followed by her half-sister, AKC CH Ravenrush Quaker, a CH BJ Holy Terror daughter, who became the foundation of my breeding program. Her progeny include more than a dozen CKCSC, USA champions - four homebred - and numerous AKC champions. I am proudest of Quaker s double great granddaughter CH Twickenham That s Amore who has proven herself in the ring and as a producer earning the spot of second top brood bitch in the CKCSC for 2009 and winning BIS at the 2010 National Member Show at age 7½ and is still going strong at age 10. In addition to being a breeder and exhibitor, I have served in many capacities with the CKCSC, USA. I have served as a Director and Officer of Cavaliers of the South and the CKCSC, USA including a term as President of the CKCSC, USA. As a member judge of the CKCSC, USA, I have judged numerous matches, sweepstakes and championship shows as well as the UK Club open show. I am honored to be a part of the 2013 CKCSC, USA National judging panel. Puppy & Veterans Sweeps Thursday Evening, October 10, 2013

9 Trudy Show Friday, October 11, 2013 For almost as long as I can remember now Cavaliers have been part of my life and I cannot envisage ever being without them. As a child growing up I was crazy about animals and had my fair share of pets over the years, I was also very interested in horse riding and had my own pony for several years before school work had to take priority. I bought my first Cavalier back in 1973 having seen a picture of one in a book and decided this was the dog I must have; we had a faithful mongrel called Buster at that time as well. I saved up the money from a summer job and bought my first Cavalier, a B&T quite unusual here at that time. I had no intention of showing but I discovered he was well bred and was a handsome dog, although never really trained for the show ring. I started to show him when he was 4 and had some success at the Open Shows and the rest as they say is history as I had caught the show bug! I acquired my first bitches from Mrs Pam Thornhill s Kindrum Kennel and the Connors Ronnoc kennel in Southern Ireland. After studying breed type these were the Cavaliers that appealed to me at the time and I was lucky to acquire two bitches both of which did so well in the show ring one becoming UK/Ir Ch Kindrum Rose Red and Ir Ch Ronnoc Scarlet Ribbons. I always had a soft spot for the Wholecolours and feel proud to have made up the first champions in Ireland. Some years later Ir Ch Ringcreevy Ringlets, sired by Ch Rheinvelt Ringold Von became the first B&T bitch Ch and did a lot of winning at the UK shows too. I have been fortunate to make up a number of champions over the years but breeding for me has always been on a small scale working full time and I usually only breed a litter when I want something to show. Over the years I have come to the conclusion that it is better to stick with the type you like rather than rushing to the latest winner who may be fashion of the month. I have judged extensively since the early eighties officiating in the US on quite a number of occasions as well as Australia and New Zealand and the Scandinavian countries and had the honour of judging males at The UK Club show in 2013 an experience which I really enjoyed. Having the opportunity to judge 2 National Specialities in the one year is certainly the icing on the cake for me and a great opportunity to assess the top Cavaliers on both sides of the Atlantic I very much look forward to your National Speciality in Atlanta in October, seeing some great dogs and having the chance to renew old friendships

With a great interest in animals since childhood, dogs have become an integral and major part of my life.

But Cavalier has been closest to my heart. Already in 1993 we had the Top Winning Cavalier in Sweden. This has continued and we have over the years had Top Winning Cavalier male 17 times.

For the period 1999-2011 Kennel Hackensack has been Top Breeder in Sweden, and for the past three years have Ch Hackensack Fred Perry was Top Winning Cavalier.

10 With a great interest in animals since childhood, dogs have become an integral and major part of my life. I grew up with Scottish Terrier, after it came Cavaliers King Charles Spaniel and Chinese Crested dog into my life and now the family has expanded to include Afghan hound. But Cavalier has been closest to my heart. Already in 1993 we had the Top Winning Cavalier in Sweden. This has continued and we have over the years had Top Winning Cavalier male 17 times. We have made up to 58 Cavaliers champions of both homebred but also with purchased dogs. For the period Kennel Hackensack has been Top Breeder in Sweden, and for the past three years have Ch Hackensack Fred Perry was Top Winning Cavalier. We were with Ch Hackensack Razzle Dazzle the first Swedish breeder who bred and won a World Show. I'm now authorized to judge several breeds in the toy-group but have also started my education for gundogs and herding dogs. Construction and anatomy has always been a guiding principle in our breeding and it's interesting to be able to use this in my judging. I have had the honor to judge your fine exhibition before and I'm really looking forward to meeting you all and have a nice day with our beloved Cavaliers. National Show Saturday, October 12, 2013

11 My involvement with Cavaliers has been a journey of thirty five years, and what a journey it has been! I have had the honor of breeding and owning some incredible Cavaliers, including both the first English Champion Cavalier dog and bitch to be imported and exhibited in this country; a national specialty winner, a co- bred (with Barb Hoorman) National specialty winner and the first Cavalier to win BOB and a Toy group placement at Westminster. I have written three books on the breed, and through them have made friends around the world, from Russia to South Africa, to China! I am looking forward to judging on the National Specialty weekend and wish each of you the best of luck! Spalding Show Sunday, October 13, 2013
