Sanflorian Cavaliers

Like so many other people, were drawn to Cavaliers because of their size,
appearance, and incomparable temperament. A trip to a regional fun match and one
glance at 100 happy tails wagging in the grass was all it took to seal the deal.

An incredible stroke of luck (or fate?) led us in our search for a Cavalier to Joan and
Obediah Gibson and their Aubinwood Cavaliers. A short while later Aubinwood Lillith
joined our family and a passion was born.

With Joan's support and guidance we started learning about Cavaliers and breeding
dogs. We went to shows and sat ringside with experienced breeders who could
explain to us how certain dogs in the ring met or did not meet the breed standard. We
read everything we could get our hands on about Cavaliers and breeding dogs. We
started showing some of Joan's dogs and gradually moved onto showing our own,
which is something we continue to enjoy. And we spent countless hours observing and
helping with whelpings at Joan's. We continue to rely on and appreciate Joan's
guidance as we are establishing our own breeding program.

We have always admired canine athletes and the people who participate in
performance events with their dogs. Lisa and Lil dabbled in obedience training ever
since Lil's arrival. A push from a friend got them into the Rally ring in 2007 where they
have earned their Rally Novice title. Circumstances led us to try a canine agility class at
our local training center and another passion was born! John and Elmo made their
competition debut in 2008. We are hooked on this sport - Lexi followed her big
brother's footsteps in 2009, and Eve will not be far behind.

We are positively nuts about our dogs. We hope you will enjoy reading about them
here.
