We live close to the Nepean
River, at the foothills of the beautiful Blue Mountains,
about forty five minutes west of Sydney, New South Wales,
Australia.
Edenridge Cavaliers was first
established in 1992, although I didn’t begin showing until
some years later.
My first cavaliers were two
tricolour girls;
Gaycrest Eboni Mist (Emma) and Elfking Dearie Me
(Sofie). They were beautiful girls and although not 'show
dogs', they gave me many years of devoted companionship and
with them began my passion for this wonderful breed.
Both Emma & Sofie have since passed on; Sofie in 2003, aged
11 and Emma in 2005, aged 13. They are both greatly missed
by all who loved them. Emma was particularly special to me
and my very first cavalier.
In June 1998, I purchased my
first show puppy, a beautiful black/tan from the Corbiere
Kennels in Queensland. Corbiere Black Magique
(Bridie) and I had a lot of fun discovering the world of
showing before she grew a little too big so then retired to
maternal duties. From her first litter I kept Edenridge Shirazz
(Shirazz), a very sweet ruby girl who, with her mum, enjoyed
her
life as our pampered pet. Sadly, our lovely Razz passed away in her sleep on 28th August
2009. We still miss her every day.... :-(((((
On 10th December 2011, my
precious Bridie joined Shirazz at Rainbow Bridge. :-((((( Bridie
was Great
Grandmother, and Shirazz, Grandmother, to my first
Australian Champion,
Edenridge Desert Storm (Storm), who left us in October
2010 to live as a very spoilt pet in the
Barossa Valley. His leaving left a huge void at Edenridge
which really needed
filling.........so enters Kymyisha So Sinful (Chase)!
No other dog could possibly take Storm's place in my heart
but I
am so rapt to be introducing Chase to you and welcoming him
to our family. My heartfelt thanks and appreciation goes
to Will and Jason from Kymyisha Cavaliers
for entrusting this gorgeous boy to my care. Chase is
still very young but already shows promise of maturing into
a stunning dog. He has a very sweet, gentle nature; very
eager to please and has settled in well at Edenridge. In time I am sure his
contribution will add to the ongoing improvement and success
of our lines.
Our little 'firecracker',
Edenridge Secret Kisses (Koko) is proving to be the
family entertainment. Her favourite pastime is chasing after
a frisbee or tennis ball. She is always on the go and will run
for hours! I get exhausted just watching her! She did very well at her first show taking out
Baby Puppy In Group and although she is a lovely girl with
lots of potential, she has decided the show ring is not her cup of tea!
Racing around the park is so much more fun!!!
Edenridge Lunar
Eclipse
(Lunar) seems destined to fill the show spot for her big
sister. In my eyes, she is breathtaking! A slow start to
life but now full of promise. She has begun her show career
and so far has done very well, taking 2nd place out of 12
entries at the Cavalier Specialty Show in April 2009.....her
first show so a lovely beginning and adding to that, at the Cavalier Specialty Show in September 2009,
under UK judge, Lynda Read, Lunar took out Best Opposite Sex
Minor Puppy in Show!!! Lunar continues to take the show ring
by storm!!! Just a couple of her wins being Best Of
Breed and Junior In Show at the 4P's All Toy Dog Club show
in November 2009 and Best Of Breed at the Childrens Cancer
Charity Show in November 2010!
11 September 2011 -
Lunar takes out Bitch Challenge at the Cavalier Specialty
Show under UK judge Mr Robert Payne!!! Mr Payne is
very much involved in breeding wholecolours in England so an Edenridge
wholecolour doing this well under a wholecolour breed
specialist was thrilling to say the least!!!
19th November
2011........EDENRIDGE LUNAR ECLIPSE ATTAINS HER AUSTRALIAN
CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE!!!
Elvyne Shiraz
(Hunter), my ruby boy has matured into a very handsome
fellow. Thank you Megan for another stunning Elvyne puppy. I
was hoping to show Hunter but I think Koko has been in his
ear and he has decided he'd much rather stay at home
than strut his stuff in the ring. He is a valuable member of
our cavalier family proving he has what it takes to produce
lovely sound puppies.
Enter Edenridge Celtic
Flame (Pagan), daughter to Storm & Memo. 'Devilish' is
the term to describe this cheeky girl. She is very naughty
and always looking for mischief
but she is extremely affectionate too; she loves to snuggle under
the doona with me, the jingle of car keys tells her it is
time to get dad to work and any other time, is out looking
for things to destroy!!! High hopes that she shines in the show
ring. She certainly has the personality!!!
Another little girl joins
the family! Edenridge Wish Upon A Star (Vega) is
daughter to Madison (Kelzarki Magic Night) and Marcus
(Barakah About A Boy). A huge thank you to Lisa and
Meredith for allowing me to use Marcus. Vega
is our little 'princess'...........She knows exactly what
she wants and that is a soft comfy spot on the sofa and a
snuggle with mum every morning in bed and she won't take no
for an answer! Is she spoilt?? My word she most certainly
is and that's just the way she likes it! Meet our extremely cute little Vega on the
Girls page!
Another new
addition in the form of a very sweet, soft natured ruby girl by the
name of Chevalove Mystic Dream (Nikki). ) A
huge thank you and lots of appreciation goes to Sylvia &
Dek Pabian (Pabianpark Cavaliers) for entrusting Nikki
to my care. Nikki had done well in the ring whilst with
the Pabians and I have already started her show campaign
here in
Sydney with
2 BCC's and 3 RBCC's in only 6 shows!
There is excitement here as
we have our first litters sired by Chase! Introducing
Edenridge Naughty But Nice (Darci), daughter of our
lovely Nikki. A lovely black &
tan girl with a fabulous, outgoing nature and extremely
pretty. Hoping that Darci just loves the show ring and in
turn has many successes there.
A new boy joins the family!
Our thanks once again to Sylvia & Dek Pabian (Pabianpark
Cavaliers) for letting another of their beautiful dogs
join us here at Edenridge. Pabianpark Paparazzi
(Leo) is co-owned with my good friend Robyn
(Morganlea Cavaliers). Leo took out Dog Challenge at our
second show together; a fantastic beginning with the hope of
more success in the ring. He's a stunning boy with a
wonderful, happy outlook on life. See him on the Boys page!
I am so thrilled to
announce our latest two additions. They come in the form of
two very pretty black & tan puppies called Edenridge A
Moment In Time (Ripley) and Edenridge More Than A
Memory (Raven). Both of these girls are so lovely, I
couldn't choose between them!! Their sire, the very handsome
Barakah Candle In The Dark (Dickon), is owned by Robyn
Morgan (Morganlea Cavaliers). My thanks and appreciation
to Robyn for allowing me the opportunity to
use such a lovely dog in my breeding program. The puppies
dam is my very own stunning girl, Elvyne Remember
Me (Memo).
Chase and Koko welcome
their daughter, Edenridge Original Sin (Chanel) into
our cavvy family. Chanel looks set to inherit her mothers
absolute 'joie de vivre'!!! She is very pretty and extremely
outgoing. Our hope is that she enjoys the show ring more
than her mother did!
Over the years I have had a
number of Cavaliers come and go, all of them very special in
their own way. I do hope you enjoy meeting them & us on your
journey through my website.
Please feel free to sign my
guestbook; I appreciate your comments.
