"Gabi"
continued to capture the hearts & eyes of many, her qualities
being appreciated by both Cavalier Breed Specialists and All
Rounders and rewarded accordingly. Her long, silky coat is well-broken and her
correctly set ears frame her exquisite face. Those
chocolate box eyes are to die for!
Her super
construction is reflected in her stylish
movement. With attitude to burn and a show ring
presence worth bottling, this little lady is the absolute
delight of my life!
|
|
"Gabi"
has also inherited her parents' typical Cavalier temperament and is
a fun-loving & gentle little girl. She is affectionately
known to us as "Princess Gabriella Fluffyfeet".
"Gabi"
has made us extremely proud with three litters of seven
beautiful babies (the first in March 03, the second in
October 05 and the third & final in February 07). She produced a
BIS/RUBIS Champion
son in her first litter, a BIG/multi RUBIG Champion son from her second
litter and a multi Class in Group Champion daughter in her
third litter.
At
6 years old, "Gabi"
thrilled us by taking out the RES CC from an entry of 45
bitches at her final show before retirement - our Royal Adelaide
Show in Sept 2006. Enjoy
your retirement, my beautiful "Princess Gabriella
Fluffyfeet"!

With each
passing year, my treasured girl is even more beautiful.
When our
eyes meet, the hair on the back of my neck still stands on
end, just as it did the moment she was born.

"Gabi" in May 2009, aged almost 9 yrs,
'strutting her stuff' in the Veterans Parade at
the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club of SA
Championship Specialty. How wonderful it
was, being back in the showring together again
and so difficult to hold back the tears as
memories of so many proud moments over the years
came flooding back. "Gabi's" treasured mum
"Tasha" was also in the parade and for their
final 'lap of honour', they proudly trotted
around together as a 'brace'. I'm afraid
that by then, I did feel the trickle of a tear
on my cheek. |
