Worth the Wait: A Breeder's Dream

Orchardhill Charismatic

Orchard Hill Charismatic (Brady) Winners dog, Best of Winners & Best of Breed ACKCSC National Specialty 2011 UK breeder/judge Mr. Kenneth Town (Barsac Cavaliers



Flash back several years, 2007 to be exact. Our tricolor bitch, Ch. Orchard Hill Never Grow Up, was being shown by Ernesto Lara and was the Number Three Cavalier in the country. "Wendy" had been Top Cavalier in the CKCSC-USA for 2006 and in 2007 had earned four Best in Specialty wins and several Toy Specialty Breed wins. But she was almost four years old and was due in season.

Our plan had been to breed Wendy to Eng. Ch. Pascavale Enchanted. I had been to the UK and seen him and several of his get: I thought he and Wendy complimented each other very well.

But Enchanted had not yet arrived in the States when Wendy came in season. Instead we bred her to another top-producer, Ch. Hurleaze Birthday Boy at Shirmont. The breeding produced four CKCSC-USA champions, one of which eventually became an all-breed Best in Show winner.


By the time we were ready to breed Wendy again Enchanted had gone home to the UK. Another choice was made, also a good one, and time passed.

In 2010 Wendy finally produced her Enchanted litter. At last we were able to see our imagined puppies in the flesh, and we were not disappointed: a Blenheim male is now USA/AKC Ch. Orchard Hill Tough Enough, J.W. Handled by Rachel, "Paddington" finished easily with a five-point Specialty major, Breed wins over Specials and a Group Four. His tri litter sister, Ch. Orchard Hill Next Stop, Wonderland, also has a five-point specialty major and was Best of Opposite Puppy at the CKCSC-USA Puppy of the Year under UK breeder Gil Baker. A second tri female is Orchard Hill Buy Me a Pony, J. W., who was Best in Futurity at the recent ACKCSC National under breeder- judge Mrs. Judy Gates.

And finally there's Brady, no one had seen Brady "in person" until his debut in San Jose in May of 2011. And suddenly there he was, first time at a show, sparkling and wagging, seemingly glad to have been invited to the party.

It was a Cinderella Story minus the large orange pumpkin: we watched with bated breath as Brady charmed British breeder/judge Mr. Ken Town into giving him first Winners Dog and later, Best of Winners and Best of Breed from the classes. Winning the National from the classes with a homebred dog is a breeder's dream and just about as good as it gets.

Thank-you, everyone, for your overwhelming support and good sportsmanship. We appreciate every kind word.

Erica Venier, Orchard Hill Cavaliers
