Welsh Kennel Club

Breed: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

WKC. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

I hope this wasn’t a representative entry of the breed. Toplines, rears and movement were an ussie for many. It was also disappointing to see many showing without much animation, even allowing for the rather windy and chilly conditions. Good to see so many b/ts present. I thought presentation and conditioning was better than when I last judged.
