Westminster Dog Show on television Feb. 9-10

I received the following email from the national Cavalier Club and thought our members might be interested in watching the Cavalier judging online. See below.

As you know, the 133^rd Annual Westminster Kennel Club All Breed Dog Show is February 9-10 here in New York.  For the past four years, we have done 10-12 minutes of streaming video highlights of all the breed judging for our Web site.  

This year, we will expand the coverage in 8 selected breeds to include ALL of the judging:  Golden Retrievers and Labradors, Beagles (15"), Dogue de Bordeaux, Border Terriers, Cavaliers, French Bulldogs and Australian Shepherds.  This coverage will include a very simple narration that has the simple purpose of identifying the dogs (by armband numbers) for the videos (no commentary, no on camera appearances, no names, just armband numbers so people can look up the names themselves in our online catalog).  It would also include a bit of "traffic directing" to point out what is going on in the ring (e.g., "The judge is now checking in the class," "The judge has divided the class by sex and will first examine the dogs," etc., and at the end, "Dog #XX is Best of Breed, #XX is Best of Opposite Sex, and #XX, #XX and #XX are Award of Merit winners."

This will, of course, give people at home the chance to see all of the judging for your breed.  Our Web site is www.westminsterkennelclub.org

Subject: King Charles Cavalier Spaniels & a Catahoula mix - please forward this message

I know that none of you are personally looking for another dog right now but maybe you know of someone who is.  The dogs are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, sisters about 5 years old found at the Keaau Humane Society. Please forward this email to your friends and hope they will continue to forwarded it as well.  Hopefully we can find all of these dogs good homes. 

To anyone adopting it is recommended that you take the dog or dogs to your veterinarian for a wellness check. If there are any major health concerns found that you do not wish to deal with you may return the dog/dogs to the Humane Society and receive a refund of your adoption fee.

Many mahalos,  Sue

Milo & Kula are female Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, said to be approximately  5 years old, available for adoption through the Hawaii Island Humane Society in Keaau. Milo on the right is the smaller of the two.  Kula is larger and a little heavier set but not fat. They are in Foster care at my residence and can be seen by contacting me:  Frances Moniz via email  fmoniz@hawaii.rr.com or phone (808) 895-0819.

Milo is currently vaccinated, Micro chipped and spayed. Kula is Heartworm positive and will need to be treated by a veterinarian.   Whoever wishes to adopt Kula MUST agree to have her treated and I will work out those arrangements with the adoptees personally since I have taken on the responsibility of her care.

Thank you for your willingness to help in finding these sweet little girls homes.  I am hoping that they can go together but it's not mandatory. I would like to see them go to a home where there is familiarity with the breed and absolutely a fenced yard. 

Thank you so much for caring, Frances Moniz
