Growing up on a horse ranch in Minnesota, we had many horses and a couple of cats as well as a dog. I loved them all but you can't sleep with a Horse, not safely, anyway. Then as an adult I moved to Washington . I decided I needed a cavalier like my dads (Starskey) a tri-color male cavalier.
I looked for some time before a breeder had an ad in the paper for some cavalier pups. (Remember this was almost 35 years ago long before the internet). I went to see if there was a pup for me. I left knowing that I had found the little girl that would be my best friend till the day she died (Amber). I picked her up 2 weeks Latter and brought her home on the Seattle ferry . My intention was not to show or become a breeder I just wanted her to love.
Latter on I was asked to participate in a fun match where we did very well. Then asked to attend another and I was bitten by the show bug. My life as I new it was over, now my life revolves around all of our four legged kids. I wouldn't have it any other way.
We have done very well with our dogs in the show ring over the years and I strive to have very healthy dogs with great dispositions. I am very proud of my dogs and all of our accomplishments All while raising two children.
