Michael Levy - UK -Pascavale Cavaliers
Having started with this wonderful breed in 1987 I am as enthusiastic today as I was back then when we brought two bitches to be our companions. It wasn’t long before we decided we would like to breed so with the help of one of our girl’s breeders we had our first litter in 1989. Showing soon followed and eventually the breed absorbed our whole life from breeding, exhibiting, serving on committees and judging. The likeminded friends you make along the way makes our involvement all the more enjoyable.
Pascavale has had a share of success crowning 22 Champions in the UK and many more across Europe and the USA. Our kennel has won Best of Breed at Crufts on five occasions all with different dogs. Our bloodlines are used often by other breeders which is a huge compliment. One sire Champion Pascavale Enchanted (Teddy) made an impact in both the UK, USA and Europe. Teddy was the top stud dog in the UK for 3 years then for a further 3 years in the USA. Teddy is in fact the top pointed cavalier sire in US history, a record which makes us very proud.
I have been judging cavaliers since 1993 and been championship licenced judge since 2003. Back then you had to judge for ten years and judge at least a thousand cavaliers before being approved to judge at championship level. My judging CV includes the privilege of judging the Cavalier Club show in 2016. I am currently contracted to Judge Crufts which should have happened in 2021 but due to the pandemic is now next year. After visiting Crufts as a spectator over 40 years ago and being introduced to Cavaliers this is an enormous honour.
Internationally I have been judging regularly for over 20 years in most of the Cavalier world including Australia where there are some lovely examples of the breed.
Thank you for the consideration to judge once again and the nomination.
Rachel Venier - U.S - Orchard Hill
I was born into the dog show world and grew up surrounded by a menagerie of animals. My mother, Erica Venier, bred and showed Shetland Sheepdogs and I campaigned show horses through my childhood. Growing up with herding dogs and studying with horsemen established my foundation for evaluating structure and function.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Norfolk Terriers entered my life in 1996. My mother and I co-breed and show under the Orchard Hill affix. We were originally drawn to the Cavalier as a robust, sweet-tempered sporting spaniel in a toy dog package. We remain enchanted by the breed and dedicated to its health and preservation. We have finished over 140 AKC champions and over 40 CKCSC, USA champion Cavaliers, including four ACKCS National Specialty Best of Breed winners, and multiple all-breed Best in Show, specialty, and group winning dogs. Almost all of those Cavaliers come down from our foundation bitch, including five generations of Legion of Merit dams and numerous Register of Merit producers. While our Norfolk numbers are more limited, we have produced a handful of specialty and group-winning terriers.
Having spent a life in dogs as a breeder and exhibitor, I truly appreciate the opportunity to study purebred dogs from inside the ring. I started judging Cavaliers in 2011. I have judged at specialty and all-breed shows, and in the U.S. and U.K
Mark Sedgwick - U.K. - Pascavale
I have been involved in breeding , owning and showing cavaliers for over 35 years now ,. Initially attracted to the cavalier by their compact size, melting expression and wonderful friendly temperament. I had pet dogs at home from a very young age , so dogs have played a big part in my life.
I have worked on the parent cavalier club committee, and was actively involved in looking after discover dogs for many years which I really enjoyed.
We have made up 22 English champions, and many over seas champions, and have had some of the top studs dogs world wide.
I hope to continue and fulfil further in the breed we love. There is no better companion than the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
I have judged cavaliers in UK , New Zeeland, Australia ,Canada , USA , Russia ,and many countries in Europe
Rick Aldous - U.K. - Aranel
After growing up with various dogs my introduction to the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel came in 1985 acquiring a pet Blenheim. What an affectionate and endearing breed they are with those big round expressive eyes that could never fail to win you over! My interest grew to exhibiting and breeding in the mid 90's after believing a crazy Tricolour girl we acquired was good enough to show. She wasn't that special though placing at all shows attended and was disastrous in the helping box! But, this interest lead to a serious hobby of exhibiting and breeding combined . Our breeding today goes back to the 2 original girls we started our line with 26 years ago, both Ch Telvara Karbon Kopy daughters that culminated in my first UK Champion in 2004, Ch. Aranel Ballistic, who also won Best Of Breed at Crufts the following year. Success continued and having been fortunate to breed 9 UK Champions, many Champions worldwide and also some of our males proving worthy stud dogs for us and other breeders in the UK and abroad. In particular Aranel Bombastic, Ch Aranel Cosmic, Ch Aranel Genesis. Overseas, AKC Grand Ch Aranel Renaissance, CKCS-USA Ch Aranel Revelation and CKCS-USA Ch Aranel Colby have produced numerous winning offspring. After a spell owning Japanese Chins a UK Japanese Chin Champion and her litter brother a Swedish Champion. I've served on dog clubs since 1999 and have served on The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club committee since 2014 currently in the role as Vice Chairman supporting the very capable Michael Levy. I first judged in 1998 and awarded Challenge Certificates for the first time in 2011. Since then I've had the privilege of judging in many countries in Europe and North America including the U.S.A, AKC and CKCSC-USA Club.

Norma Inglis UK -CRAIGOWL CAVALIERS.
Cavaliers have been my passion since setting eyes on them in 1971. Amber, a Blenheim, came to live with us in 1972 and was a much-loved family pet, remaining with us until she died in her 17th year. She was our introduction to Cavaliers and responsible for my life-long love affair with this wonderful breed. For almost 50 years, Gordon and I have exhibited regularly with some success and feel we have established a line of Cavaliers that fit the Standard, paying particular attention in our breeding to type, soundness and temperament. To date we have made up 17 UK Champions, plus numerous other CC & RCC winners, including the Blenheim, Ch Craigowl Silkience, the Bitch CC winner at Crufts 1992.
We have had success in all of the four colours and the Tricolour Ch Craigowl Billy Elliot, gave us another of our proudest moments when he took Best in Show at the CKCS Club Championship Show in 2005 in an entry of over 500 cavaliers. 2007 delivered another incredible high when we made up two more champions, Craigowl Ryton and Craigowl Norah Batty, on the same day, both of them Tricolours.
April 1st 2015 was a memorable day in the Craigowl household. A litter was born that would make history. The success of Craigowl Touché, Craigowl Out of Reach, Craigowl Out of Touch and Craigowl is now well documented with all 4 gaining their UK Champion titles and bestowing on us the honour of being the only UK breeders to breed 4 Champions in one litter. 17 UK Champions spanning 3 decades is something we are extremely proud of.
Our first show Cavalier was a ruby and it was "Honey" who was responsible for us starting on the journey that opened up a whole new wonderful world where we have made many lifetime friendships. Cavaliers have simply taken over and become a way of life. We have been fortunate that our interest in Cavaliers has spread beyond the UK and many of the dogs we have sent overseas have gained their crowns or won CCs in their respective countries such as Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Australia, France, Italy, Holland, Germany, New Zealand, Italy, Switzerland and the USA.
I first judged in the 70s and have judged the breed at Championship level in the UK, Canada, USA, Sweden, Finland, France, Denmark, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, Belgium,Russia, Estonia, Iceland, Czech Republic, Norway, Poland, Slovakia and Southern Ireland. My involvement with Cavaliers over the years has included exhibiting, breeding, judging, stewarding, assessing prospective championship show judges, Year book editor and committee member of the Scottish and English CKCS Clubs….and currently the Northern Cavalier Society and a Toy Dog Club.
In my spare time I love fundraising and have ran several successful online auctions. When the bush fires so savagely raged through parts of Australia a few years ago I was able to generate support from our U.K. Cavalier and Toy breeds community and sent £2000 to help support the Koala Hospitals.
I simply eat, sleep and breathe Cavaliers.

I came to visit New South Wales many moons ago and attended a Cavalier show, at Castle Hill I believe, with Gerty Biddle judging…so decades ago. 😀 It would be an honour to return. Thank you for the consideration.
