Having started out with this wonderful breed in 1987 I am as enthusiastic today as I was back then when we bought our first two girls. It wasn’t long before we decided we would like to try breeding 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 and judging. I have served on breed Club committees for many years and since 2021 I have been the serving Chairman of the CKCS Club. All of which is made so much more enjoyable by all the likeminded friends you make along the way.  Our kennel has had a share of success, crowning 24 British Champions and many more across Europe and the USA. Our dogs (all different) have won Best of Breed at Crufts on five occasions. Also, they have taken Best in Show at the UK Cavalier Club show numerous times. Our most successful show Cavalier is Multi Champion Pascavale Haiden having a successful career both in the UK and then in the US in both systems accumulating in a AKC Best in Show all breeds.    
Our bloodlines have been used often by other breeders which is a huge compliment. One notable prolific sire was Champion Pascavale Enchanted, Teddy. He made a breeding impact siring multi champions in the UK, Europe and in the USA. Teddy was the top Cavalier sire in the UK for three years and then for a further three years in the USA. Teddy is in fact the AKC top pointed Cavalier sire in US history, an achievement that makes us very proud.  I have been judging Cavaliers exclusively since 1993 and I have been a Royal Kennel Club Championship licenced judge since 2003. Internationally I have been regularly judging Cavaliers since 2004 and completed assignments in over twenty countries. My judging CV includes the honour of judging the UK Cavalier Club show in 2016 and Crufts in 2024. Having judged my breed around the World for over 20 years including in Finland, so it is an immense honour to be asked back to judge for the Finnish Cavalier Club and at the World Dog Show.
