Jan Tornblom -"Hackensack", Sweden
I was authorized as a Championship Show judge in 2006 for my first Toy breeds Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Chinese Crested dogs which are the breeds I have been breeding under the prefix Hackensack. For many years we were very active showing our dogs, mostly Cavaliers. I found an interest in dogs at an early age and have had Newfoundland, Labrador and Irish Red Setter apart from the Cavaliers and Chinese Cresteds. Lately also Afghan Hounds and nowadays only a highly loved Griffon (Bruxellois). In my youth I was also active within the equestrian world and for a while I competed in Show Jumping.
Prior to authorization I judged at Open Shows in the Scandinavian countries as well as in England (Cavaliers), which I still do from time to time.
I have been fortunate enough to have judged at Cavalier Specialtys around the world, for example in the US, Canada, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Estonia and of course in the Nordic countries Finland, Norway and Denmark (as well as Sweden J).
I find it very rewarding to judge at dog shows where I can both enrich and develop my dog knowledge with new breeds I feel a connection to. At Championship Show level I now judge most breeds in FCI-group 9 (Companion and Toy dogs) plus some Terrier breeds, Shetland Sheepdogs, Miniature Schnauzers, Pomeranians, Swedish Vallhund (Västgötaspets), Flat Coated Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers and Afghan Hounds.
I would be very honoured if you should consider me to judge at your show and would look forward to visit your country and your show!
Sincerely,
Jan Törnblom, Sweden

John Whitman- "Khatibi", UK
I first started showing Cavalier when I met my partner (Leila Tarabad) about 10 years ago. Atthe time I had already been showing and breeding Tibetan Terriers for a decade as well as handling some gundog and terrier breeds for others, but since 2013 it has been the Cavaliers(and more recently King Charles Spaniels) that have been my main focus. I joined the alreadyestablished “Khatibi” kennel and have enjoyed much success in the breed. In my first year withLeila Ch. Kaidee Kiss Me Kate Khatibi JW Shcm not only gained her crown but also won a Championship show Toy group (still the only cavalier bitch in 20 years to top a group) and was the Cavalier Club’s top winning dog that year. Since then I have bred, owned and campaigneddogs in all 4 colours gaining JW, CC’s and RCC’s with several of them and most recentlymaking up the breed’s oldest male Champion of all time at almost 8years old, Ch. Khatibi BarkObama JW Shcex VW who is also the only cavalier to hold every show title available! I have been judging for a little over 10years, first Tibetan Terriers, then Cavaliers and now most toys and utility breeds at open show level. After losing my lower arm a couple of years ago following an accident I didn’t know if I would be able to continue to judge but I have managed to adaptand am thoroughly looking forward to awarding my first set of CC’s in the UK in May 2024
Kind regards

Pauline Sidgwick- "Paulian", UK
Thank you for considering me for your future show I consider this to be a great honour.
I first began showing Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in the mid 70’s, adding King Charles Spaniels to our small family in 1980. Along with my husband Ian we have owned and bred Champions under the Paulian Affix, in both these breeds, gaining Junior Warrants and Stud book numbers in all four colours.
I awarded my first set of Challenge Certificates in Cavaliers in 1989 and was honoured to be invited to judge at the prestigious Crufts Dog Show in 2015, this has to be the highlight of any judges career. I have also been fortunate to be invited to judge overseas several times, always an enjoyable experience, evaluating dogs from around the world, being able to compare with the stock here in the UK.
I enjoy judging all breeds but especially the Toy breeds, I am now passed to award Challenge Certificates in 15 Toy breeds and Dachshunds in the Hound Group, I judged my first UK Championship Toy Group in 2019, another milestone I am very proud of.
As well as the show ring I am a supporter of the Kennel Club Good Citizen scheme, several of our dogs both Cavaliers and Charlies have passed through the scheme. I am also passed as a Kennel Club Assessor for the Good Citizen Bronze Test, something I really enjoy doing.
I have been involved in all forms of show management and enjoy stewarding regularly at shows here in the UK when time allows.
We have never kept a big kennel of dogs, but keeping only a few dogs, breeding when we need a new show prospect for ourselves. Our dogs live as part of our family and join us in our caravan for holidays, regularly walking on our beautiful Cumbrian Fells.

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.
Judith Echazarra- De Los Ursidos Kodiak, Europe
I have been involved in Cavaliers hence I was 18 years old as this breed was the family breed at home as pets. In 2010 my husband who has been breeding another breed suggested me to buy a show cavalier and we started searching, went twice to the NE to see what we wanted. The. We decided to get our first show dog, with no intention of breeding. Crusoe was the RCAC at the NE Two years later and our first Champion. We started then to have the illusion to start showing and started to consider breeding in our lives. My husband is a vet and all came together. The kennel comes from 1985 and has only been involved with cavaliers hence 2010.

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.
Joakim Ohlsson- "Hackensack", Sweden
I grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds, from chicken and dogs to rabbits and goats. My father bred Scottish Terriers, and I accompanied the family to dog shows from an early age.
Later, studies and external circumstances limited my engagement in dogs until, 1989, when it was possible for me to have dogs again– and I fell totally for Cavalier King Charles spaniel.
Since then I have been breeding Cavaliers with great success under HACKENSACK prefix and has been Swedish Top Breeder 1999-2011.
The kennel has been showing Top Winning Cavaliers in Sweden 1992-2012, and also top winning bitch 2000-2011.
So far there has been 47 Hackensack Champions (in Cavaliers) made up in Sweden. Together with Hackensack champions in other countries and Cavaliers from abroad, that has been made up in Sweden, it’s a total of 68 cavalierchampions.
Since a few years back I have stopped out breeding because it was getting harder and harder to combine it with my interest in judging and educate in new breeds.
Besides Cavaliers I have also breed Chines Cresteds and also owned and shown Afghanhounds. Right now a Griffon Bruxellois is my wonderful company 😊
I have been authorized for CC’s since 2002 and I consider myself having a strong opinion about what I like in Cavaliers. I have judged cavaliers all around the world, all around europe, several times in USA, New Zealand and Australia (2008) and now I am really looking forward to next year when I will judge The Cavalier Club UK show in Stonleigh.
Hope to see you all //Joakim
Michael Levy- "Pascavale", UK
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.
Dawn Scott- "Ravenselm", UK
A bit about myself. I am married and 62 years old.
I have been involved with Cavaliers since I was a child. First with my mothers kennel Ravensbeech and latterly taking my own Affix and breeding and showing in my own right.
My most notable and memorable Cavalier was the gorgeous Ch Hilary the Gigolo at Ravenselm.
Otherwise known as Darcy. I bought Darcy as a puppy from Hilary McQuaid, he gained his Junior Warrant, the Res CC at Crufts in 1988 and gained his crown later that year. We sadly lost him in November of 1989 to a road traffic accident. He had 5 CC, and 4 Res Cc,s and we were never to know just how influential a dog he may have been.
I have owned and shown several dogs who have achieved their stud book numbers including
Ravensbeech Jubilation, Palmosa Rare gift to Ravensbeech, Hilary the Godfather at Ravenselm and Hilarny McHenry at Ravenselm.
I have also trained a Clumber Spaniel to top working Clumber puppy who also went on to do well in the show ring and achieve her stud book number. She was the cleanest, sparkling Clumber in the ring and her red plastic boots to keep her clean before showing were the talk of the clumber circles! I was probably seen as a bit odd by the gundog set.
I started judging Cavaliers at open shows in 1987. I have judged a wide variety of Toy breeds and Toy groups. I have awarded CC, in Cavaliers at 5 general championship shows, Paignton 2002, LA 2003, Bournemouth 2005 Southern Counties 2013, West of England Ladies KS 2018 and have my 6th CC appointment at the South and West Wales Cavalier club championship show in November this year.
I am not actively showing dogs now, racing as an amateur jockey has taken up many of the past years but I have an ageing Blenheim Cavalier, Charlier Whistle and Flute at Ravenselm and a Border Collie at home amongst several horses.
