The ACKCSC Approved Breed Seminar meets the requirements as one (1) component toward Judge’s Education. This seminar provides history, form and function of the breed, and an in-depth analysis of the Breed Standard. Our presentation is 90 minutes in length with additional time allowed for questions and answers. We try to have at least one example of each of the four colors of Cavaliers present for illustration and examination. Participants receive a copy of our illustrated Breed Guide, an excellent reference for anyone judging the breed. Light food and beverages included.
