CKCSC National Specialty Show - Tarrytown NY April 2008

We saw our first live dog show last month at the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club National Specialty Show at the Westchester Marriott in Tarrytown, New York. Over 250 cavaliers competed in various categories, including conformation and obedience.

Over the next few weeks, we'll post some pictures from the show, including those of our very own Daisy and Betsy, who attended as spectators.

Here's a video of my friend Janie showing Diva, her tricolor in their first competition.

YouTube of the Week - Grace

While we prefer to post a video with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in action, occasionally we find a video picture collection that's too sweet to pass up, like this one from Nilanna. The background music on this video adds a special touch. Enjoy!
