Cruisin Minnie Mouse is our current Cavalier showing in the conformation show ring. She began her showing on October 17, 2009 at the Lawton Dog Show (additional information below). I hope I can present her well enough to obtain her championship title through the Bred-By Class because she will automatically earn a trip to Eukanuba National Championships if we are able to obtain her championship title together in the Bred-By Class. As a backup, I have already been in touch with her sire's professional handler if I feel down the road I would like some assistance.

Cruiser obtaining his AKC championship title

When Cruiser matured and was ready to embark on his first appearance in the show ring. I found it very helpful to obtain a professional dog handler in order to learn the ropes of this fascinating new world of canine wonders.

Cruiser began conformation showing at 15 months of age when he attended his first show in Shawnee, Oklahoma on May 26, 2006 handled by Professional Dog Handler Linda Clark, AKC, DHG, PHA and assisted beautifully by Karen Beardslee. Cruiser won Winners Dog ("W"), Best of Winners ("BW"), Best of Breed ("BB"), and represented the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in the Toy Group his very first time out in the show ring. Cruiser attended several more shows after Shawnee and on September 29, 2006 in Lubbock, Texas Cruiser won "W" & Opposite Sex ("OS") and was awarded his last 2 points needed, thus earning the title AKC Champion. What a wonderful ride Cruiser took us on in just four short months earning his championship title. Whole colors have a more difficult time in the show ring since the broken colors tend to rule, but Cruiser managed to place every time he walked into the ring.

Our thanks go out to Linda Clark and her assistant, Karen Beardslee for all their love and support.

We also wish to thank the following judges: Mr. Fred C Basset, Miss Maxine V Beam, Mrs. Helen Lee, Ms. Terri Lyddon, Mrs. Dorothy F. Martin, and Mrs. Martha M. Olmos-Ollivier
