The Story of Cobrnik

Elise working with one of her Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

After my children were grown, I decided to look for a canine companion to share the outdoor activities we loved; hiking, camping, and boating. The more investigating I did, the more fond I became of the looks, personality and affection of the Cavalier. In those days the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was not recognized by the AKC and it took me several months to find my best friend, Charles. He was everything I was looking for and we spent many happy hours together.

After Charlie passed away, I decided to get more involved in the breed and I purchased Maggie and Murphy. Murphy, a black and tan, was the first dog I showed. I started in UKC shows, to learn how to show and what the show world was all about. Murphy did very well, and he was the number one UKC Cavalier in the country in 2007. I then switched to AKC sanctioned shows and he became an AKC Champion. Cobrnik Cavaliers has many champions and received the Breeder of Merit badge from the AKC. This achievement recognizes Cobrnik Cavaliers for breeding more than four AKC champions.
