Central Carolina Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club Speciality
17th August 2019 – Greensboro, North Carolina
Judge: Mandy Attwood, UK. (Clentview Cavaliers)
I would like this opportunity to thank the CCCKCSC Committee for inviting me to judge at their speciality show and for looking after us so well, special thanks to Heather, Rabecca and Gwen for taking such good care of us. I had some beautiful dogs to judge and would like to thank everyone for their entries and for the immaculate way in which you present your dogs. Tail sets and rear movement is still a problem and we do need to think about this when breeding.
