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 was 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.
