The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club of Victoria Inc (CKCSCV) is a non-profit organisation and the official custodian of the breed in Victoria, Australia. Established in 1972, the club is dedicated to the improvement, promotion, and protection of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed.
At CKCSCV, they aim to provide breed information and education to both members and the public. They also organise friendly competitions and social interactions for their members. The club actively works towards ensuring the health, welfare, and characteristics of the breed are maintained and improved.
In 2022, the club celebrated its 50-year anniversary with two Championship shows held at KCC Park over the long weekend in June. Both the shows and celebrations were a great success. Keep an eye on their Facebook page for updated dates and details of upcoming events.
One of the key features of the club's website is the Breeder Profile Directory. This directory showcases the breed through photographs of the breeders' own puppies or dogs, along with their contact details. Breeders who advertise on the website have paid a separate fee and must be current financial members of CKCSCV for a minimum period of 12 months before applying for a listing. They must also have a current membership with Dog's Victoria and adhere to the Code of Ethics of both organisations.
It is important to note that CKCSCV does not endorse or guarantee the reputation, soundness, or suitability of any breeder listed in the directory. Potential puppy buyers are advised to conduct thorough research and ensure the puppy they acquire is healthy, sound, and meets their individual requirements.
Overall, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club of Victoria Inc is a passionate and dedicated community of Cavalier lovers who work together to preserve and promote the breed in Victoria. Whether you're a current owner, a prospective puppy buyer, or simply interested in the breed, CKCSCV welcomes you to explore their website and get involved.
