ABOUT ROSIRIUS

Steve and I live in Northamptonshire, UK, and have owned Cavaliers since 1981.  We only have a small number of Cavaliers living with us in our home; the Cavaliers are our pet companions first and foremost.

My Affix is made up from a combination of my first name and the dog star, Sirius.

I thoroughly enjoy the show scene, and breed the occasional litter, with all stock holding current clear Heart and KC/BVA Eye Certificates.  All breeding stock have current clear Heart (MVD) and Eye (MRD) KC/BVA Certificates, and are MRI (SM) scanned.  Puppies are veterinary litter screened.

I had always wanted to own a dog, but when I saw Ch. Alansmere Aquarius win BIS at Crufts in 1973, I knew exactly which breed it had to be.

We purchased our first Cavalier Max (Melzabe Birthday Surprise), a tricolour, twenty seven years ago.  He was joined  a few years later by Benson (Midnight Magic Touch), a black & tan of Rhybank breeding.

In 1988 Lori, our Blenheim, (Christerose I Am What I Am at Rosirius) came to join us.  She was an Alansmere Country Boy granddaughter, and gave us 13 ½ years of absolute joy.

Early in 1990 Laura (Colneka Crimson Glory of Rosirius), a beautiful Ch. Knight Magic at Harana ruby daughter, joined the family.  Laura just loved showing and I revelled in sharing her good fortune in the show ring, especially her wins at Crufts!  Due to a tragic event she was with us far too short a time.

Late in 1995 Mica (Black Chiffon of Rosirius), a black and tan, bred by my friend Peggy Garner joined us.  She was successful in the show ring and had two litters both by Geronsart Tarmac of Amauri, one  producing Rosirius Prudence.

In August 2000, homebred Rosirius Prudence produced a beautiful litter of seven puppies, including Rosirius Serge and Rosirius Jute who were consistent championship show winners, qualifying for Crufts 2002, 2003, 2004, & 2005.    

September 2003 saw Rosirius Jute's first litter (with Champion Myhope Fever).  From this litter is our ruby dog, Rosirius Razzle Dazzle, who won 1st in Minor Puppy Dog at his first championship show when he was just 6 months of age on the day of the show.  He then followed in the paw prints of his Mother and Uncle in qualifying for the national Cavalier Club's Puppy of the Year Competition, and Crufts.

Jute's third and final litter in June 2007 was a 'veteran' affair!  We have retained a Blenheim, Mialeah Ericanna Rosirius from this mating.
