Hello everybody.
A few years back, my roommate and I raised a few pomerainians, out of our pets. Our pets were not quite show quality but they had pet quality in spades (small size, 5lbs, good coats and no defects) so we produced a few puppies that sold like hotcakes LOl. But because they were our pets we didn't allow them to breed often.
At the time we would sometimes board our sold puppies when their owners went out of town. Then one day a friend asked if we would look after their cavalier king charles for a couple weeks. I knew nothing of the breed and I'm super paranoid about exposing my beloved Maxwell to bigger and/or non-pom dogs. But my roommate was insistant that a cavalier would fit in just fine with our poms, so I finally said okay.
When I met Rocky, I knew that my friend had been right. He was just the most delightful dog!
From then on I kept in in the back of my head that a cavalier might be a great dog for me to have in the future.
My roommate moved out several years ago, taking her girls with her and Max and I have been on our own.
Then, a couple of months ago another friend of mine had me over to her place (even more out in the country than my farm is) and I met her ten plus dogs. One of them was a girl who immediately stole my heart, she was IMO a cavalier. She had been found as a stray several months earlier, and despite many "found" ads placed for her nobody could accurately describe her color or even sex LOL.
My friend saw how taken with her i was so she offered her to me and I took her home that very day.
Annie has been a pure pleasure to have in my family. Maxwell loves her (as do I!) and she seems to love being one of just two doggy kids as opposed to one of ten plus. Annie Needs personal time spent with her and thrives on it.
I love her dearly.
I have come here to see if I can learn more about her breed and just talk with folks who are as in love with this breed as I am.
