Enigmai

As can be seen from the rest of our site we have two Blenheims - Heidi and her daughter Amber, as well as two Tricolours - Sasha and Ambers daughter Lucy ~ and now Jade, our recently purchased Black & Tan puppy.

We had planned on Heidi having her final litter in 2006 but having to have her last litter by Caesarean and speyed at the same time meant that Maximus, Harvey, Diesel and Poppy were her last litter. Sasha was duly mated with Godfrey and produced Gizmo, Marbles and Sizzles; whilst Lucy confounded us all yet again by starting her season two weeks BEFORE Sasha to produce Bailey and Charlie

The names of our dogs may seem strange in an area where strange names are a way of life to some people but each one of our dogs' names are arrived at in a logical manner. When we first decided to go into breeding we decided that we would make the puppies names up from the Affix (Enigmai), the Sex (Lady), a Mineral/Precious stone (Amber) and a character from Roman/Greek/Celtic/Amazon mythology (Selene) - hence Enigmai Lady Amber Selene. What makes it even more of a challenge is keeping within the Kennel Club convention of a maximum 24 character names (including the affix) in an effort to stop breeders using long, convoluted names.

Please note that all our puppies are Kennel Club registered and new owners will be provided with dietary information (with sufficient food for a few days) and the opportunity to take advantage of 6-weeks free pet insurance with the Kennel Club. We do not sell our puppies sight unseen, all prospective owners would be expected to view the puppies in their home environment. As any respectable breeder will tell you, selling puppies is a two way vetting process - we have to be happy that you suit the puppy as much as the puppy suits you. Litters for sale are announced here on our website, through the Puppy Register at The Kennel Club site and The Southern Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club Puppy Sales ~ although it is rare these days for the latter two as we struggle to satisfy those on our waiting list.

In addition all our girls have a heart check-up for MVD every year in accordance with the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club scheme together with a medical before going to stud and all are declared free from Retinal Dysplasia in accordance with the BVS/KC/BSA Eye Scheme. All have excellent lineages with many champions in their pedigrees, to see theirs and other pedigrees follow the links above ~ I haven't made a composite file yet but, like a family history, there is a convoluted link going back to Champions of the 1940's onward
