Clifford (DOB 26 Feb 2009)
Described by judges as an overall neat little package this boy has everything. Clifford is a beautiful headed Cavalier with large eyes. He has a textbook muzzle shape and length with clean evenly spaced head markings, his lips just cover the lower jaw to perfection and he has the correct scissor bite. Clifford also has attractive well broken markings on his pearly white coat. This sound boy moves out in style with plenty of reach in front and drive from behind while keeping a level top line.
Shown only lightly as a youngster he gained 'CLASS IN SHOW' and multi 'CLASS IN GROUP' awards. Though Clifford has been slow to mature we believed he had great potential in the show ring. Once back in the ring to be campaigned more seriously in 2011 he gained his championship title in a good size entry, also taking out another Best Of Breed.

Ollie (DOB 26 Feb 2009)
Owned by the Subritzky family and occasionally shown by Suzanne who is novice to the show ring and enjoying her success with Ollie.
This stunning dog has a pleasing outline with lovely topline, and with well turned stifles giving him plenty of drive he has superb movement viewed from all angles. He has great confidence, a very friendly manner and with good breed type, large dark eyes and lovely rich coat colouring he stands out as a winner.
I was honoured to be allowed to handle him to RESERVE BEST IN SHOW at the Tiki Cavalier Club's June 2011 Speciality Championship Show. Ollie was also handled at the Speciality show by Suzanne in the Stakes classes and won BEST MOVEMENT IN SHOW.
Since Suzanne has taken over all handling of Ollie in the ring from September 2011 he has gained RESERVE BEST DOG under a Canadian Cavalier Specialist and RESERVE BEST DOG under a USA Cavalier Specialist at the Club's October 2011 Championship Show.

Ch Merseyport Billet Doux X Ceellen Iman
Dickie (DOB 26 December 2008)
This neat tricolour boy arrived with us in December 2010 aged almost 2 years. Previously campaigned in Australia he had easily gained his champions title by 13 months of age. With an evenly broken silky soft glossy coat and rich tan markings in all the correct places he makes a lovely picture as he moves around the ring with ease. This dog also moves straight and true when viewed coming and going.
Once on the show circuit in NZ he got down to serious business and fulfilled all expectations to claim his dual Aust & NZ championship title. Bred by Marilyn Madigan (Merseyport) along similar lines to Carter and having that same correct friendly temperament we know there will be more great times ahead for him at Darilance.

A well constructed young dog who is maturing into a very good adult. Through his superb front, well turned stifle and level topline he has excellent action, a joy to watch both standing and on the move.

Clayton (3 September 1997 - 13 November 2009)
Clayton had a super head, with a wonderful gentle expression and had overall superb colouring but he wasn’t a ‘show dog’, though he had been to many ‘Companion Dog Shows’ regularly winning Handsomest Dog, Clayton had a great personality, so sensitive and playful. He had lots of enthusiasm for chasing and fetching his frizbee or ball.
He left us much too soon aged 12 yrs 21/2 mths through a tragic misadventure.
