Walk-ins however are welcomed. This workshop will be followed by a New Companion Parade in the ballroom just before the afternoon class winners return to the ring for the Winners Bitch competition.

7 (preferably) at or phone at Judge s Seminar: 7:30 P.M. Saturday in the Garden Fountain Room. Vanessa Weber is presenting the seminar, Dog Shows Are Not Meant to be Beauty Contests. There is value to dogs who win at shows that goes beyond which is the cutest. Understanding how shows evolved, and how Cavaliers evolved within the context of shows is becoming more important than ever as we head into the future in this new animal rights climate. Vanessa N Weber has been breeding and showing Cavaliers since She is a licensed CKCSC judge. She has also owned and bred some of the top English Toy Spaniels in the US and she also bred Lipizzan horses for several years as well. She grew up with working spaniels on her parent's farm in Connecticut - where she lived for many years and where her interest in the history of Cavaliers first took hold.
