He looked like a winner to me!

Nice speaking to you today, and thanks for the kind words about my KZread channel. I didn't know until later, but Leslie Slusher was sitting just a few rows down from us with her husband. I mentioned that you might be getting in touch with her.

Jamba is such a sweet boy ❤

Handsome boy he’s winner every time 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶

I was so excited that he was in the competition. I think he’s BEAUTIFUL

Beautiful Jamba! Well done!

thank you so much for giving all of us an insider view of Westminster! Jamba really presented well - of course he is a winner in all of our hearts & minds! Competition looked really stiff as all of the dogs were gorgeous.

Jamba is gorgeous absolutely stunning Cavalier ❤️Way to go Jamba in this big big competition!

Beautiful boy! Great work by your granddaughter-very confident. My 2 Cavs watched the video along with me-they were so impressed!

Great job Jamba & Alyssa! You are champions in our eyes.

Just to get to Westminster means it's a pretty perfect dog. Either that or your handler can correct the flaws Jamba really walks into a great stack I also preferred his face and expression more than the dog who won. I always say the just to get to Westminster means the dog meets the breed standard perfect and it mostly comes down to judge's choice. Good boy Jamba 😀

I'm so glad you posted this! I was mad I missed watching it yesterday. Thanks! I was in the doctor's office waiting and was watching this and realized I was smiling nonstop. I felt like it was my friend in the ring. So impressed with Jamba and your very lovely granddaughter!

Jamba is a beautiful dog!

Jamba did excellent. So handsome

Oh, Jamba! you are so beautiful. I can’t stop smiling. Jamba is a real winner!

I watched the Westminster ckc vid and watched Jamba. He showed nicely and boy he sure looked like he enjoyed being in front of the camera. You go little guy! You’re a champ.

Jamba is KING!

Gorgeous Jamba you did so well❤❤❤

Jamba is a winner along with your grandaughter

Congratulations Jamba!!! You are the cutest!!! ❤❤❤

Jamba is absolutely BEAUTIFULL💕🐶💖✨🔥

aww but i watch these dog show on tv for many years and you can tell or i can tell if a dog is (a family member) and a dog that is just for show. and i love Jamba because he is so loved... if i was the judge i would give extra points for tail wags and friendliness...that is why i love your youtube channel the best... its because you are active and loving to your pets.MY VOTE IS FOR JAMBA and Apple of course.

Jamba is a beautiful dog! Congratulations on just getting to the show…a lot of work! thank you for sharing 😊Kimberly yay Jamba💫

Well done Jamba ! You are a champ in my book! He looks beautiful.

Up and down, and round and round :) Jamba's cuter than the pup who won the breed.

Jamba is special no doubt. Imagine being the judge I'm sure his finger slipped when pointing. We understand how much this meant to your family.

Jamba you were definitely the prettiest Cavalier at the show and a winner in all the hearts of your followers ❤

Great JOB Jamba ❤your beautiful and you will prevail next time to #1 but your #1 in my eyes ❤😊

Hi Benjy the cavalier here, Jamba you looked a champ, I don't care what the judges thought. They must have needed specs. Lots of love ❤️ Benjy xx

Way to go Jamba! Good seeing you boy❤❤❤

Great job Jamba!

Jamba is our winner! Elisa did not such a great job handling The Star Cavalier. How prestigious it is to compete amongst these "best of the bests . We are so proud of Jamba!

Great job Jamba. 😊 Your granddaughter did a wonderful job. Such an amazing experience. Jamba is the winner in our hearts.

Good job you two. Jamba is absolutely beautiful. Noticed you on TV "Best of Breeds Day 1" walking around behind the English Toy Spaniel (B&PC) pictures.

Elisa did a wonderful job

Love Jamba!

Jamba looks so handsome …very proud of him anyway…we love JAMBA-

Awww he looked great out there! I did get to watch him live through the live stream and that was exciting - i even spotted you:) Jamba will always be a winner ❤

Thank you for posting personally I think it’s fixed. It’s those damn refs. Thank you for sharing. We’re proud owners and I can see what you love Jamba so much. Be well and be blessed.

Just being there is a great honor. Congratulations Jamba. Next year?

We’re getting our first Cavalier from Northpointe and our family is so excited. Jamba is such a handsome boy! I have loved watching him grow.

Thanks for sharing! Jamba looked great out there!

Jamba is such a handsome boy

So many Blenheims!! It’s like a cloning machine went crazy 😝

Jamba you are a winner in my opinion. You are such a handsome boy and have been one of my favorites since you were born! ❤️

Jamba is a handsome boy and is a grand champion in our eyes

They are all winners imo ❤

What a beauty!!!!!

Jamba is still The Best

Met Romeo in Dallas. Was hoping you would be there too, but you were very busy with puppies.

Wow, Jamba looks so awesome! His coat just shines! I’ve tried various shampoos on my own dog and his white isn’t quite so bright anymore and his black is much lighter than it used to be. But still as happy and healthy as can be. He’s 9 years old and maybe his fur changed because of age as well.

One of Jamba's great attributes is the clean white ground in his coat. We bring it out by using a whitening horse shampoo.

Ciao Charlie, Annarita dall'Italia, ho appena visto il video! Complimenti per Jamba è bellissimo!Anche tua nipote è carinissima!

I’d have picked Jamba but Romeo is also a pretty dog!

Jamba and Alyssa are both winners!

Jamba looked amazing! What an honour he got asked to show there! I am new in the showing world and was wondering if you could tell me if you bought that dog stroller with the board on top or you somehow made that? I want to have something like that for when I show my Cavaliers. As of right now, I just walk them in on a leash and have nowhere to keep them/groom them! Thanks!

The cart is called a Wonder Wheeler, and a small crate fits perfectly on the bottom. It was originally sold as a beach cart, but I bought mine from a woman who custom makes the grooming top to fit. My daughter also has one, but she built the top board herself.

Would love a video on getting into competitions. We just got our second cav and his daddy was a small local champ. I dont think wed stand a chance in the big ones, but would be something fun to do and bond plus see more cavaliers

@chaskat35

Ай бұрын

It's a perennial problem for judges at big shows and at specialties. It comes down to very fine points, so you want a judge who is intimately familiar with the Breed Standard.

I frankly liked Jamba better than the winner.

I think I am ready to enter my first AKC shows and hope I do not run into Romeo, or Jamba for that matter, hahaha! But, then again, I have class dogs, so if I can get some points at that level I will be happy. And if I get dumped a few shows in a row, well, then I will know to retire my show lead and try something else, like car racing, tennis or whatever. Given the situation, I think you did a good job, Jamba. You wagged your tail for the judge very nicely. Good tail carriage too. You showed a sparkly personality. I would have done a better grooming job on you, but it probably would not have made any difference given who you were up against. By the way Jamba, I love the way you and your cohorts narrate some of the videos. Did you know in advance who your competition would be when you entered the Westminster show? Given Romeo's record going in, how much sway do you think reputation had in the judges decision? Do you think the outcome was a foregone conclusion? I wonder what breeds that judge had experience with. How closely do you scrutinise a judges bio before choosing to enter a show? Is it fair to say a breed expert judge is more likely to pick what they like rather than put up a dog/handler team based on reputation? I took a show handling course taught by a licensed judge. Honestly, he knew nothing about Cavaliers, yet was judging the toy group. I worry about entering shows with judges like that. My take is that no-nothing judges will take the safe route and put up a pro handler ten times out of ten, worthy or not, but how do you know who knows what? I bet the guy I took the handling class with would hand me breed and a group placement for sure. But I am small potatoes. Pro handlers and other judges have connections on an industrial scale. This brings me to another question: Even if a judge is a breed expert, how do you find someone who will put bias aside and pick the best dog, even if their buddy or pro handler gives them the evil eye? Feel free to privately share your black and white lists with me. 😊 Not to say I have the best dogs. I am starting a bit late with my one dog. He's 11 1/2 years old. I am not holding my breath he'll do anything in the show ring. But he does have all his teeth still and looks good for his age. The other guy is 2 1/2, so he's got a better chance (or so I think, probably incorrectly). So, assuming I enter my old timer in veterans (at a Cavalier or toy specialty show), and he wins his class, i.e. veteran dog, he's ineligible for select dog, right? Since a lot of veterans are probably specials how would a judge know, or would the ring steward give him a heads-up on that? I have seen dogs awarded select bitch, much to the consternation of the ring steward. But then again, someone told me their bitch in season was disqualified at a show once for only having one testicle. Circling back to veterans, a judge told me once that they get no extra points, or consideration, for age. A few grey hairs may be forgiven but the dog has to compete head-to-head with their younger peers in every way. As a judge, what is your position on this? I remember you said in one of your videos that you see more Blenheims in the ring because the double recessive gene results in larger gene pool, therefore they are generally better. Do judges see it that way too? Are Tri's, Rubies, and B+Ts assumed to be inferior? I personally think you see more Blenheims because people like them better. Breeders are just responding to market demand. Tri's would be popular too but nicely marked ones are hard to find. It would be super easy to breed whole color dominant or B+T dominant Cavaliers wouldn't it? I find B+Ts to be an acquired taste--they are generally not anyone's go-to Cavalier, not mine anyway. If you have ever owned a Ruby, or B+T, people will ask you what it is. With a Blenheim, "Oh it's Elizabeth Taylor!!!" Looking forward to meeting you and your K9s at a show one day...

Lots to discuss here, but let me do my best to address your questions. General practice for any dog show is that the catalog is not published until the day of the show. Therefore, you don't know who the competition is, except for how many of each sex in classes and in Best of Breed. Like in any human endeavor, dog show judges cover the complete spectrum from excellent to incompetent. The only thing you can do is watch what individual judges do, and keep an accurate record. I have a personal list of hundreds of judges, and I have a pretty good idea which of them know the breed, which tend to put up professional handlers, which are open to putting up a whole color, and so on. I always consult it before entering a show. It will take you time to build up your own list, but it will come in very handy in the future. As far as the predominance of Blenheims is concerned, it's usually not so much a prejudice for Blenheims (although that does happen), but more likely the probability that the best dog in the group will be a Blenheim - because of the numbers and the gene pool.

Why are the all blenheims?

Did you say that the winning dog was posing with one of the owners.Does that mean that dogs are now like race horses and owned by syndicates?I hope not.Jamba lives a normal life as a dearly loved pet in a loving home.Jamba has a beautiful face and coat.How proud you must feel of both Jamba and Alyssa.To me they were the winners.

@chaskat35

Ай бұрын

Not syndicates, but we are allowed up to 4 co-owners. All of our dogs are co-owned by myself, my wife, our daughter, and our granddaughter.

I think Jamba was the winner.

Why are there so few B/T, Ruby, or Tri entrants? It seemed to be a room full of Blenheims. I thought both your granddaughter and Jamba put on a lovely showing.
