Sherlock is such a precious, special little soul. Thank you for loving and taking such good care of him, and all of your beautiful dogs.

[@dawnmendez8375]

Charlie your little Sherlock is a treasure! I think he should become a permanent member of your loving family. He is just too special to part with after all you’ve gone through with Apple’s litter. Maybe he was saying the same thing to you with his little chirps and purring! Thanks for all the wonderful updates. 🐶♥️

[@davidhampson2965]

Great filming and dialogue, Charles. Sherlock looks wonderful.

[@ssmouse77]

Sherlock is an excellent rep of his breed. I am quite smitten with his tiny features. He is heaven on earth. 😇 🥰 BLess his big heart.

[@skokian1able]

Sherlock is beautiful, and already showing the lovey-dovey Cavalier temperament 🐶❤️. I'm so happy that it was all good news at the vets'!

[@deniseg812]

I love the chirping.

[@carmaarmstrong9743]

I’m happy Sherlock is doing so well! Have as safe trip to North Carolina!

[@user-dt1db1up8w]

Sherlock is just so precious. Appreciate all of the advice you give. It helped when we got a CKCS puppy 18 months ago….after not having a youngster for 15 years that was a shock! And loads of fun. 🥰 🐶

[@downtomarsaudio]

Have fun Charlie! Sherlock will miss you too i think! ❤❤❤❤

[@logirl1975]

There is nothing cuter than puppies learning to talk. I'm glad he's doing so well. Thank you so much for keeping us updated on the little guy.

[@dulanjadewet4492]

Sherlock is beautiful, he is so prescious❤❤❤ Safe travels.

[@swimmymv]

Hes so cute! ❤ i did have a couple questions - one you might use for ask the breeder- that is how best to train a pup to like/ tolerate a pet carrier . My dog is known to get anxious when he feels “covered up” i found out the hard way he hates crate covers . Second and I know you have done videos on this in the past but id love a “for dummies” version if you will for how to stack ur dog and show. Many handling classes have been less than helpful) snd i want to try to show my dog . I have tried to follow along with ur videos but hard to know if im doing it right. Thanks in advance ! Always appreciate ur videos and puppy reports

[@kelsie_adams]

Cavalier never win their group .. I'm soooo familiar. I used to breed/show/rescue Chow chows. I can't remember ever seeing a chow win Non-sporting. There's just no way. I always liked it when anything but a standard poodle won non-sporting. I can't figure out how an actual sporting dog ended up in the "leftovers" group. Sherlock is so sweet. Love his vocalization . They always remind me of guinea pig squeaks at that age.

[@karencampbell8248]

Sherlock is a precious boy and it's so cute when he chews on your finger! He listens intently to your every word. Thank you for putting in so much hard word for this wonderful breed.

[@user-rh5xt9xb6z]

So glad Sherlock is doing well he is a darling boy

[@cinni9]

💙

[@janhankins911]

He's growing so much. And those little noises he makes are so cute, just melt your heart (dogs, puppies in particular certainly excel at melting human hearts--at least they do mine).

[@angelgirl7832]

He is so beautiful. I would love to have him. You are such a good dad❤.

[@annamarsh]

Cute! Cute! Cute!

[@gloriamargolis581]

Happy to hear that he is healing and he also sounds like a Cat purring LOL 😂 Love to Sherlock and and Hugs and many Blessings 💋🐶❤️🙏

[@francescrocker3878]

Welcome to North Carolina! I hope you have a great stay! Puppy Sherlock is going to be another beautiful Cavalier! He is also lucky to have you and your family.

[@sharonnash1901]

SHERLOCK is so adorable. Appreciate all the helpful information you provide and update on Sherlock. Safe trip

[@robertaborsellino3456]

🤩

[@Maggie4Veritas]

Those little sounds are so precious! Love to watch him focus on you. Cavaliers are so smart and loving. He’s clearly 100% CKCS! Thank you for the update. A video on Westminster would be very interesting. I have watched Westminster for decades and am always puzzled at why certain breeds are not chosen while others always seem to win their group and go on to best in show. The poodle showed very well. I liked the Afghan but had a feeling the poodle would win. That breed has won so many times!

[@Lastbus511]

We have a cavalier king Charles spaniel called Winston same colour. Beautiful dog I love him. Dogs are mans best freinds. Its sad they have such a short life span.

[@pilarmontesfrechina1032]

Sherlock es una monada y tan pequeñito y dulce y tus palabras de amor ,lo mejor😘😘

[@annademidchik631]

Sherlock is quite a survivor.

[@msjannd4]

Have a good time in North Carolina! Sherlock is a babe. 🥰🐕

[@Grannyblack]

I just love your videos so much. I look forward to them every day! 🐶💕🌺

[@TheBurr75]

Delighted sherlock is doing grand

[@leonajones4702]

I don't know about you, Charlie, but I'd be inclined to keep this beauty.

[@aliceadler4569]

Oh my gosh- I am so in love!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@user-gw3ef9nn5j]

it's been a long hard month for your family - he looks so great - you're on the way to more rest in the near future love that puppy barking

[@dogie1070]

[@user-gz8hu3qy4m]

Good morning Sherlock!🥰. You are so precious! So focused I love it! 🐾❤️. Watched your video of Jamba, he is so handsome just like his dad Iggy!

[@auntieeva4098]

He's so adorable 🥰. Safe travels!

[@elliedesign8352]

Thank you for this update - Sherlock is looking strong and healthy! It was fun to see you on the Westminster site filming Jamba being handled by your granddaughter. They both looked great, and I'm looking forwardto to your posted video footage.

[@deborahmckinley4732]

How cute

[@markandmandyd7445]

Hi Charlie first of all safe travels.. Sherlock's sounds are heartwarming adorable.. Happy 1st Month Sweet Sherlock.. Your actions towards him are wonderful as well.. Have a great day and once again Safe Travels..

[@joannakurnikowska294]

❤❤❤so sweet❤❤❤

[@user-debbiell]

Hi Charlie - you mentioned in this video that there are many reasons that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels NOT only have NEVER won Best In Show at Westminster Dog Show BUT they have never won Best in their Toy Group. Can you share some reasons as to why? I've been lucky enough to have had two Cavaliers in my life, and I don't think I'm being biased when I say that they are one of the best, if not the best, dog breeds recognized by the AKC. I've never understood why they are consistently overlooked at the Westminster Dog Show. I'm not even sure why Cavalier owners, breeders, and handlers bother with this dog show. BTW, I think Sherlock is absolutely beautiful !! He is precious indeed!

[@angelgirl7832]

Have you ever seen a Japanese Chin win any titles? I had a gorgeous Chin that passed in August. She was almost 18yrs old. Love your videos.

[@chaskat35]

We had a Chin for years, but we gave up on showing her, because there are so few of them in this area that we could never get the points she needed to become titled.

[@donnawhitfield6820]

Welcome to North Carolina. I hope you enjoy your time in my state

[@chaskat35]

It will be a short visit, and I'll spend all day in a board room. I won't be able to stay for the show over the weekend, but I will at least be able to see the Puppy Sweepstakes tonight. If you're in Greensboro, you could stop in and see some of the finest Cavaliers in the country.

[@sandypeppermint4665]

QUESTION; Is there a age when the dog are at their best? And are you a celebrity at these meeting because your on youtube? you are kinda a celebrity to me.

[@GabrielBadwolf]

He’s so adorable. You keeping him since he’s the only one left in the litter?

[@chaskat35]

Way too early to make that call.

[@GabrielBadwolf]

@@chaskat35 fair. I’m sure he’ll get a great home either way

[@TheaOrsetti]

Could you share with us why the Cavalier never places at Westminster? Thank you!

[@downtomarsaudio]

Have you ever been to Crufts in the UK Charlie? And what did you think?

[@chaskat35]

Yes, and it puts Westminster to shame. Seeing 300 Cavaliers competing, finding the Best in Show out of 25,000 entries ... and the shopping!

[@deniseg812]

Why? Don't them win?

[@pambeni5635]

What are the reasons why Cavaliers never win Best in Show? Safe travels.

[@chaskat35]

Here are a few: Many of the Toy breeds are hard-stacked, i.e. the handler gets down on the ground and sets them up perfectly. Cavaliers should be free-stacked, which means that the dog has to set himself up properly to show a perfect profile. That makes it harder to present a nice outline to the judge in the lineup. Cavaliers are small companion dogs, but unlike most in the Toy Group they have a sporting background in their history. Their gait on the move is therefore straighter than the flashy movement of some Toy breeds, and needs to be more focused on extension from both the front and rear. Cavaliers are among the largest of the Toy breeds, and as a result their normal gait is faster than almost all of the others. This is a factor when the Group is gaited around the ring as a group - especially if the Cavalier is not in the front. Those are the first few factors that come to my mind, and I'm sure that other breed specialists will have their own take on the question.
