Title
Nidra Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
Description
My association with Cavaliers started through my Uncle & Aunt (John & Erin Duncan), who were one of the first Cavalier owners and or breeders and founding members of the Cavalier Club in this part of New Zealand.
My first Cavalier, a blenheim dog , Ruapani Bobby Brown was an early thirteenth birthday present in 1975. Very shortly afterwards he was joined by tricolour Lambeth Lady Athene. Using my Uncle & Aunt's kennel name, Ruapani, we bred our first litter in1976 which produced NZ Ch Ruapani Athenian Princess, a specialty BIS winner. Nidra was established in 1977 jointly by my mother Joy, and I, although she no longer takes an active role with the dogs.
Athenian Princess mated to Aust Ch Homerbrent Tom Tom (UK), produced a litter of nine puppies. Which included speciality BIS winner Ch Jaunty Jade of Nidra and Jaunty Jacqui of Nidra who mated to NZ Ch Edenvalley Eadmund produced the tricolour specialty CC winner NZ Ch Florin of Leslie, who I campaigned to her title, unfortunately due to her owner's circumstances she was never mated.
