Shame they only chose to speak to PETA. They would give this viewpoint on any breed.What was lost was a good story about celebrating the breed in its historic location, while also hopefully raising some awareness and increasingly pushing for good breed health -- and the need for breeders to focus on this, not just the shows. Inbreeding is not what I would consider the major breed health issue in this breed at this time, and close family breedings are hardly practiced much any longer -- and there are far more nuanced voices than PETA, which has an animal rights agenda many working for better animal welfare do not agree with. Doesn't sound like the PETA person even had a clue about cavaliers, it is just a rote response on dogs
.
I have always credited them where credit is due on raising the issue of fur and fur farming practice long before anyone else did. But after that point I would not share their perspective nor support their approach to campaigning on issues.

Just read the article. I don't quite understand the Cavalier Club.
I was so shocked about the BBC. Why do they want to ban CKCS from Crufts![]()

I had a grin at Peta's description of Cavaliers as a 'fancy breed' - looking at Oliver who is covered in black mud having found a very muddy pond on yesterday's walk! Nothing fancy about him, just a small spaniel with a passion for water and hunting!
Kate, Oliver (who will get bathed tonight!) and Aled
Me too Kate!! Cassie covered in something unmentionable that she rolled in yesterday definately not posh and fancy lol!!!!
Banning breeds from Crufts is a terrible idea, it won't solve any health problems, just sweep everything under the rug.
I don't know much about the event at Blenheim, but to label it as only a PR stunt seems excessive. It sounds like a really lovely event for cavalier enthusiasts, and owners to get together.
Loved reading that!!! They aren't just spoiled little lap dogs are they??? I think forget they are "Spaniels"!!
Totally! I have two club members who are breeders at this event right now. They were so excited about it and I can't wait to hear about their experience. These are two breeders who care deeply about the breed and are just looking to celebrate the breed they love so much.I don't know much about the event at Blenheim, but to label it as only a PR stunt seems excessive.
