Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
Est. 1997

History

Not knowing much about the breed, I started my research in 1995 by going to dog shows, talking to breeders and doing a lot of reading. While going through all the Cavalier books I could find, I began to notice that many the Cavaliers I really liked had a common ancestor - Salador Celtic Dirk (Danny). Two years later, I was very fortunate to obtain my first Cavalier - Can Ch. Mostyn Maggie May (Maggie), from Danny's owner Mrs. I. Brigida Reynolds of Canada. Not only is Maggie a Granddaughter, a Great Granddaughter and Great Great Granddaughter of Danny's, she was a tricolor!

With just three points shy of obtaining her Canadian Championship, Maggie took time off from the show ring to become a Mom. Her first litter was with AKC & CKC Ch., U-CD Stillmeadow Dream to Behold FDCH, NA, S-CD, Am-CD, CGC. The result of that litter born on March 19,1998 was Claymoore Adds to the Dream CGC (Addy). Addy in turn presented me with a very nice litter of three tricolors on 10/10/01. They are by AKC Ch. Pascavale Rupert and I have kept the only girl - who I have named Claymoore Adds Some Sass (Sassy).

Maggie's second litter with AKC Ch. Stonecroft Snapdragon was born on March 9th, 1999. AKC & CKC Ch. Claymoore's Whirlabout (Anna) is one of four lovely girls from this litter. Anna, my little nut, finished her AKC Championship on 08/04/02 & her CKC Championship on 01/19/2003.

Maggie went on to finish her Canadian Championship on November 16, 2001.

On December of 1999, I was delighted in obtaining another beautiful tricolor - AKC & CKC Ch. Millhill Surtout (Millie) from the Millhill Kennel in England. Mrs. E.E.C. Mordecai is the breeder of this wonderful girl. Millie finished her AKC Championship with a four point major on September 29, 2001. She finish her Canadian Championship after taking some time off for motherhood on June 18th, 2003. On7/3/2003 Millie presented me with a litter of two lovely tricolor puppies, by Roycroft Everything Goes. The girl Claymoore's Moving On Up (Jill) will be staying at Claymoore.

AKC & CKC Ch. Claymoore's Whirlabout (Anna) has presented me two "keeper" boys. The first Claymoore's Whirl Win' (Jack) born on 11/7/2003 by Roycroft Everything Goes and the second Claymoore's Out of this Whirl (Payton) born on 11/09/2004 by AKC Ch. Excalibur Etouffee.

In November of 2005 Claymoore's Moving On Up and Claymoore's Out of this Whirl decided to become parents. - the result of which was three beautiful Tricolor puppies. Claymoore's Truly Charming (Beth) and Claymoore Truly Scrumptious (Truly) will be staying at Claymoore.

Then in January 2006, I was able to obtain a delightful Blenheim girl named Banner's Gypsy at Claymoore (Gypsy) - from my good friend Linda Ziehm, in Michigan.
