Living between
Exmoor & Dartmoor in the beauty of the West Country -we are surrounded by
some of the most exciting wildlife there is in the U.K. In the depths of Devon,
up a track & overlooking a lake our family are fortunate to witness the
changing seasons and enjoy the quality of life both for our four-legged friends
and us.
Our
grandfather first started our interest in the well being of his Labradors and
Setters and as children we were encouraged to ensure that they were looked
after both in health and with tender loving care. My father who sadly passed
away in June continued with Boxers and bred under the famous affix of Ashleigh.
This website is dedicated to him.
During the eighties we also bred Red Setters, but after losing
"Wiggy", I had the misfortune to be immobile after an accident. After
re-cooperation, I felt lost without a dog & realised that a smaller dog
would be the answer - hence the start of the Cazsara line of Cavaliers.
Originally called "Cavsrus" we all agreed to change the name -so "Cazsara" was
born.
Starting to Show Chilli our Ruby girl - has been a pleasure, meeting
different people & visiting different places. To receive a prize in the
ring is a bonus, as you always take the best dog home. It was at this time that
we joined both the UK Cavalier Club & the West of England CKCS Club &
learnt such a lot from their seminars and shows. Chilli was our first show dog
& just loved showing her socks off- such a delight to handle.
We
now have 4 generations still living here with us - all heart clear - and the
delight is that great-granddaughter "Tia (Cazsara Showgirl -black & tan)
qualified at the tender age of 7 months at Paignton KC Champ Show for Crufts
2005. Our first homebred Cavalier to do this -we are so proud of her, as she is
such a sweetie, like her mum -Chilli, Grand Mother and Great Grand Mother.
These four generations are still with us today.
About 4 years ago, whilst visiting Crufts
- we saw what we thought was a miniature Afghan being handled in the Junior
Handling ring it was breathtaking in its movement. After the class had finished
we spoke with the owner to find out that it was a Chinese Crested Powder Puff.
6 months later, I saw a beautiful bitch at Bournemouth KC Champ Show- "Toots"
belonging to Tracey D'Angelo of Crestmagic affix. What a picture she was
winning her first CC for Tracey.
To cut a
long story short, I was introduced to Anita & Chris Rowntree of Lemiz
kennels. Their CC (hairless girl) "Blondie" at Crufts 2003 went Best Bitch
& becameChampion Lemiz Fantine JW. In February 2003 I was so lucky to have
Lemiz Elle Showstopper with Pazazz (Elle) come to live with us and this year
her ½ sister -Crestmagics Showstopper with Pazazz (Cindy) complete our
Chinese Crested family.
I am
so privileged to have Chris, Anita & Tracey as very good friends and such
honest, sincere support that we never would have been able to achieve such
success. - Elle taking 3rd Special Bitch at Crufts 2004 & Cindy 1st PB
class at Welsh KC Champ Show in August 2004 - just some of their wins to date.
We
are so lucky to have both qualified for Crufts 2005 as well as our own Tia. We
do not forget that their quality of life is paramount and so they all live
normal doggy lives here and enjoy the pleasures of the countryside as we do.
They are all our companions first & foremost.
Our thanks
go to Cathy & Mike & Kathryn & Paul for their loyal support &
love and a sincere thank you to all the KC Champ Show judges who have
thought so highly of our girls -qualifying 3 for Crufts
2005
I
am also a qualified judge on the 'C' list for Cavaliers and Chinese Cresteds.
