I am new to the cavaliertalk. I presently have two female Blenheims - Maggie and Molly. They were named when we purchased them in September. They are 17 months old, can to us house-broken (what a treat) and are wonderful. We had a male cav who lived to be 14 named Bentley. Perhaps the sweetest dog ever - was deaf and almost blind when he died. I still miss him These girls are funny and we love having them. I had a cocker spaniel in between cavaliers and there is no comparison.
