Vale Fletcher ~ 15 March 2009 - 12 January 2022 ~ [i]I loved you for the whole of your life I will miss you for the whole of mine[/i] Fletcher commenced his performance sports career in July 2013 when he entered the Obedience trial ring for the first time. He attained a total of forty ANKC titles across several disciplines, including Obedience, Rally Obedience, Tracking, Track and Search, Agility, Dances With Dogs, and Endurance, making him the most titled Cavalier in Australia. Fletcher was a very precise little dog, and he built a solid reputation with judges and spectators alike for being a happy, willing worker. In March 2015, Fletcher's owner Penny started campaigning him in the show ring, and in June 2015, he earned his final points towards his Neutered Champion title. In his first year of showing, he was awarded thirteen Best Neuter in Groups, a Best Opposite Neuter in Specialty Show, and a Best Neuter in Show at the Cooma Monaro dog show circuit under judge Mr F James (QLD). Fletcher was the first Dual and Triple Champion for Daventri Kennels, and was the first Cavalier in Australia to qualify for the title of Multi Champion with champion titles in conformation showing (as a neuter), Rally Obedience, Tracking, and Track and Search. He was also Australia’s first Dual Grand Champion Cavalier, having earned both his Neutered Grand Champion title and his Track and Search Grand Champion title. Fletcher was very bright, biddable, and an extremely quick learner, thoroughly putting to shame the evaluation of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels being of "Average Working/Obedience Intelligence", and was a prime example of how the breed has both beauty *and* brains. He was my one in a million dog, and I am forever grateful to him for all that he taught me.
