Blottie is one of the girls we kept from our first ever litter of Cavalier/Brittany puppies. 'The force is strong with this one.' You may ask what 'the force' is? It is the level of drive she has to hunt.
I must admit I get a great joy in working with her and an immense pleasure in watching her. She has amazing athleticism. She can jump a five bar gate from a stand still and jump a barb wire fence with a ditch the other side without breaking her stride. Some of the things she tackles. makes you look through your fingers, but she seems to be a good judge of her own ability so far.

I am someone who already has shared my life with cavaliers and had a few heart stopping moments when they - what was it you said the Duke of Marlborough called it - "break"? i.e. when they are so involved in what they are doing they don't respond to calls, whistles, treats etc.

Her recall has not been sharp, but recently we seemed to of turned a corner with this. We have never lost her, but she has almost made be have kittens a few times. The last few weeks though she has become more attentive to me out walking and started to understand that she does not need to run half a mile away and then start quartering, she can do it around me as we walk along.

Isn't interesting how different they are even though they are both from the same "nest". Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
