Hey Frankie...tell us you were ✂️ without telling us! (Hint: I'm guessing wearing an inflatable donut was not a fashion choice 🤣)

Thanks L for sending us Frankie's update.

Breaking news!!

The owners of the Puppyland chain of stores were ordered to pay $3.75 million to the state of Washington and end its "illegal advertising and sales practices".

This comes after the Washington State Attorney General's office was prompted to investigate the store following numerous complaints from customers. Our nonprofit was instrumental in helping customers come forward in this case and we are extremely grateful for this outcome!

The court order also requires Puppyland Washington to make numerous reforms to its sales and advertising practices. Among them:

- Puppyland can no longer require non-disparagement provisions in its sales contracts;

- Puppyland cannot refuse to negotiate with consumers on pet costs;

- Puppyland is prohibited from advising consumers on loans;

- Puppyland employees cannot falsely advertise breeding standards; and

- Puppyland must clearly advertise the price range of its puppies.

This ruling only affects their Washington location. This chain currently has locations in Texas, Arizona, and Idaho.

Our pride and joys! Our a/a kyky black cavaliers.

Q: Are they 100% Cavaliers?
A: Yes. They come from a long line of respective Cavaliers with notable pedigrees.

Q: Are they genetically healthy?
A: Yes, they are clear of DM, DECCS, EFS, MCADD. The color doesn't increase any unhealthy traits.

Q: How are they different from other black cavaliers?

A: Visually, they aren't any different. That being said some black cavaliers carry the KB gene which is dominant. Only one parent needs to carry the KB gene to create black cavaliers. With the "recessive a gene" both parents have to be at the very least a single carrier AND one parent has to also carry a big "E" on their e loci. This makes it a bit more rare. Also approx 98% of Cavaliers have at/at on their " a loci". This is due to introducing the Pyrame into the breed to bring back the longer muzzle. So when you equate in all the factors needed to produce a kyky a/a Ee or EE black Cavalier, you'll fully appreciate the rarity difference.

Q: Was Ann's Son and Whizbang Timothy a/a carriers?

A: As Ann's Son was a blenheim and his brother Whizbang was a black and white (NOT A TRI), that would lead to the possibility that they were a/a. If Whizbang had been KB, there would have been numerous solid black or black/white in populations (again due to being dominant gene) but as they only randomly popped up, it would lend to the a/a hypothesis.

Q: Why doesn't the AKC accept blacks in confirmation? Does the UKC?

A: The AKC is only a collector of registrations for all the different breeds. The AKC then forwards all their registrations to the appropriate parent clubs. The AKC is not against any colors, they only follow the directions of the parent club. If the parent club says no to a color, then the AKC does as their told. Other colored cavaliers CAN still compete in sporting events with the AKC. That being said the parent club also doesn't allow Blk/Whts into conformation which is absolutely ridiculous considering the original club cavaliers included black and white 🙄

The UKC (United Kennel Club) which is older than the AKC does accept Blacks and black and whites. They can compete in conformation. The CKCS United club (aka CKCS State Club) is the club in the UKC for all colored cavaliers. The UKC understands the historical significance of protecting the true foundation colors.

Q: Why did WCC breed black cavaliers against standard? What does that say about WCC?

A: WCC chose to search the world for at/a carriers. Thousands of hours were spent researching, discussing with esteemed geneticists, breeders, clubs and veterinarians before making the decision to move forward with the restoration of the a/a gene. It was an emotionally, financially and mentally draining expense. Once the decision to was made, we were fully committed to see it through. We believe wholeheartedly that WCC is doing the right thing in saving a gene that is almost completely altered into extinction among the cavaliers. Not because nature chose, but because man chose. A decision that was made before DNA was made available. We can fix that now. We can reverse the mistake we made in the desperate times to restore cavalier numbers. Our motivation is made for the love of the breed.

Q: Why are so many "other breeders" upset with WCC's choice to breed "non standard" colors?

A: We all love our Cavaliers and all quality breeders believe they are doing the very best by the breed. People become very passionate about politics, religion, sports and their pets. We completely understand that some breeders are taught their beliefs by their mentors. Others subscribe to man made standards. There are other breeders who just don't have the time to devote to reading and researching, so they'll just trust the information put in front of them. Then you have those breeders who are open minded, research obligated, genetically savvy and know the difference between the "herd mentality" & actually understanding history. Those are our peers. Those breeders who are aware of the correct information enough to think and form their own concepts. Finally, breeders are a clique based network and it's a fickle one at that. WCC chose not to prescribe to that culture. We know that there are fellow breeders who don't like us. We know there are breeders who spread false information about us. They target us. Doesn't every group/hobby/club/job have their drama though? Our take? They can get to know us. Call us. Talk to us. Meet us. It's OK if our beliefs don't align. At the very least we can agree to respect each other's differences. We may not meet their biased based "standard of breeder quality" but that's up to individual interpretation, isn't it? We are always growing, learning and striving to be better and we are happy being West Coast Cavaliers.

If you have read this far, thank you. Thank you for your kind words, your encouragement, your trust. We will never stop being our best for you and the Cavalier breed!
