My love for animals - specially dogs, has been with me all my life.  My first little dog (a Pekingese) and I spent hours on end, cycling along the cement paths around our home and we were inseparable.  The special bond between a child and their dog is truly magical and I cherish the unconditional love my dogs and I share.  When the outside world becomes 'too big', it does wonders for the soul to snuggle up to those furry little bodies and be reminded of just what the best things in life really are.

I am delighted that our granddaughter Taryn also shares a special bond with Nanny's woofers so it must be in the blood!

Since my love affair with Cavaliers began in 1993, we have shared our home and our hearts with some very special little companions.  We love our Cavaliers dearly and they are treasured family members.  We don't have outside kennels as they all live inside with us, free to romp and explore outside via their doggy door.  They enjoy frolicking on our beach (on extenda-leads), swimming in summer and daily local walks all year round. 

Cavaliers are just the most wonderful, devoted companions.  Beware though - they are addictive and it can be terribly hard to stop at just one!

Our Cavaliers also have some memorable achievements in the show ring and I invite you to read about them on the following pages, along with viewing my dogs' photographs and pedigrees.  I strive to breed and show quality, healthy Cavaliers excelling in breed type, conformation and soundness, along with that wonderful temperament that makes our breed so irresistible!  Hence, since the commencement of my breeding program in 2000, I have bred just nine litters (one a year except for 2005 when we welcomed two). My focus is on maintaining a small, select kennel, striving for "Quality" not "Quantity".  There are eight Karhisar Australian Champions, including three from our very first litter!  I am very proud of the success I have had with such a small number of dogs.

I am totally committed to addressing hereditary problems within our breed.  My Cavaliers are examined and certified at the yearly South Australian Cavalier Club Heart Clinics.  Patellae & eyes are checked annually.  

I am a member of the South Australian, Victorian, Queensland and U.K. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Clubs.  My Cavaliers were proudly featured for the very first time, in the 2002 UK Cavalier Club Yearbook and continue to feature every year since.   They are also proudly featured in the NSW Cavalier Club Yearbooks.
