|
We proudly present our first “breeder portrait”. This time we
went to Pringels Cavaliers on the
south side of Sweden, Båstad
to be précis. We had pen and notebook ready- to ask many hard
and tough questions. So we put the breeder, exhibitor, Pia
Andersson against the wall…

”Animals has
always had a big influence in my life, dog has always been in my
family home, but I didn’t get one of my own until the day I
moved from home, it was a golden retriever called “Frida” except
from tea her matrix was taken at 11 years of age she was healthy
fit as a fiddle until the day she past away 13½ years old.
But the true fire in my heart at young years was the horses.
I
started a stud farm 1987 & was breeding full-blooded Arabs and
Welsh ponies I a small scale, we where on plenty of exhibits and
my entire life was built around that. But with the years came a
business cycle and I started to increase the amount of horses,
but that thing of breeding I couldn’t let go and it was in that
moment I started to think of starting a small kennel and after
back and forth did the decision ands whit the lovely bred
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, which I never regretted. Golden
Retriver has always been in our family but I wanted a smaller
dog that fitted as a family dog.
So after a great deal of searching I bought my first cavalier
1995, Vouges Konstance so in time we speak are 10 years old and
still has a clear heart that pleases me much.
A
few years later I was shown a photo on a exceptional beautiful
Bleinheim dog Nord.Ch Magic Charm's Indian Warrior, that a
became so attached to that I contacted Kennel Magic Charm and
both a dog sired after him, Jörsi's Just A Fan-Tc and son follow
by a bitch Magic Charm's Pretty Lady. And so it went on, a few
imports from Norway and UK has it been until time of date.
A
couple of years later I bought Loranka's Moon magic after GBCH
Loranka's Celebration, most winning dog 2001-2002. After that
came Such Turretbank Limelight, a dog I believe extremely much
in. And my latest is another dog, Magic Charm's Montana.
What it becomes of this dogs can only the future tell.
My goal is to breed sound breed typical dogs with a nice temper
hum
is the charisma whit the breed cavalier and in hope will
live many long
years with their owners.” |

We put the breeders against the
wall - Question time! |
| |
What’s the most
importent
in your
breeding program? |
On that I have to answer the
health, but breed typical and temper is there to, it’s nothing
wrong trying to get it all even if it’s hard. |
| |
What
do you look for
when
you buy a puppy? |
The first is the head and the expression witch is impotent to me,
I want a soft expression whit big round eyes that is correct
placed, that not is the easiest to get. A puppy in harmony
shaped body whit sound movement, a puppy whit attitude they
always stick out. |

Witch moment is the
biggest in dog sport?
|
There are several occasions
one was when the first litter was born and when
Pringel’s Isadora became Champion... |
| |
| The
worst? |
I don’t think I got one! |
| |
What kind of a
judge
do you prefer? |
A judge that makes me feels
welcome in the ring. The one who see the harmonies in the
entire dog and have the guts to use the whole judgement and
colour scale and that judges
after not which holds the leach |
| |
Is
it something in the
dog sport you would
like to change? |
A better corporation between
breeders, we have so much to learn from each other. |
| |
Describe the perfect
puppy buyer? |
The family that has thought
true the buy very carefully and have studied the cavalier, the
ones who make shore they have time for the puppy and not work
too much. The cavalier is a faceted breed who likes to be
activated. It’s always nice when a puppy buyer keeps in touch,
people is always so positive to theirs dogs. That makes me
happy. And when someone calls after recommendation after a
earlier puppy buyer, it’s the best certificate you can get. |
| |
Do
you have some Advise
to new breeders?? |
Keep a good contact to your first dog’s
breeder, that’s the one who has the knowledge of your dog and
dog’s lines that’s invaluable for you as a new breeder. Listen
and learn and don t be afraid to ask. And in front of all, have
the Courage to sieve dogs that doesn’t stand the test when it
comes to quality and health. There are no shortcuts ones you in
to breeding. Take a course, there’s so much to learn, you never
be complete. |
| |
Do
you have any advice
for new dog showers? |
Train the contact whit the
dog, then its grooming, diet and exercise and another imported
ingredient to keep the hole part together. Visit dog shows look
first on the breed and other breeds, look at experienced
handlers how they do. Go to show training, go a handler course
and so on… |
| |
Do
you have any
other interest except
for cavaliers? |
Plenty, don’t know in witch
end I will start, but a good dinner whit friends is a bigwig,
photo shooting, read, out to travel, I’m still soft for horses…but
the time isn’t an off for everything I want to do. |
| |
|
What makes you happy? |
Its so much, but especially
glad is when the older dog passes the heart test at the
veterinary. To see new litter come to the world and watch them
grow up, that is still wonderful just like in the beginning. A
flock of loose happy running dogs on a beach walk.
|
| |
|
What’s make you angry? |
I don’t get exact angry or
mad, but what’s sadly is the back talking of a dogs and their
breeders just in purpose to hurt, the only thing that Leeds to
is that the entire spices becomes suffering by doing that. If
the energy taken for that was twisted and instead giving it to
the own dogs should everybody feel much better. We are grownups
and perhaps its time to take a step out the sandbox and started
to behave after that, how ever we are in to the same breed and I
do wane believe that we lead the breed in front of us not
stepping back
Is it so hard to share others happiness, its not to give
congratulations to the ones that wins, that’s good manners, some
upbringing we must have been learned.
And the same goes for not serious breeders that whiteout
knowledge and caring for the breed just breeds for easy money
and that to the cause of puppy buyers and other breeders... They
don’t have a clue all the work behind a good solid breeding.
Assault and negligence of animals makes me crazy, there isn’t
anything worst???? |
| |
Why
have you chosen the
breed Cavalier King
Charles Spaniel? |
Easy, it’s a dog breed whit so many sides and so
uncomplicated breed and so fantastically nice breed, this breed
is habiting of large proportions, have you just got a cavalier
under you roof you just wane have moor and moor |
