Miata is a great analogy! A big round of applause for all the small sports car dog breeds, be they CCs, IGs, Cavaliers, Xolos, Frenchies or whatever! May we continue to breed them successfully as companions and sports dogs, and work to eliminate their genetic health issues to the best of our ability, as our lives would be so much poorer without these grand little dogs! Keep up your good work with the Darcy FUNDay, because that will in time benefit us all! lol! Miata is a great analogy!

I like to think of them as the Miatas of the dog world. Yes, they are sporty little dogs. I like to think of them as the Miatas of the dog world.

I am amazed at what this breed is capable of, from earning top titles in agility to the top tracking dog title in Canada. Wow, you Cavalier devotees certainly know how to throw a successful party!

Love the pic of all the Cavs hanging out socializing. :) Our local NorCal breed club has a Picnic Day every spring. There is a breeders match for club members in the early morning, but the rest of the day is open to any and all people interested in the breed. We have a picnic/potluck, raffle, auction, grooming and training advice, sometimes a veterinarian there to talk to owners, a mini-agility demo, an obedience demo and a fun, very low key agility course anyone can try. It really makes for a nice day and a good outreach opportunity for people who want to get involved with doggie activities but don't have any interest in the show ring. Sounds like a great event!
