Our mission is to work collaboratively to strengthen the genetic health and future of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel by developing a sustainable, long-term breeding strategy that incorporates the AG (NEBL3) genes. Through thoughtful planning, transparency , and shared commitment, we aim to ensure genetic diversity, preserve breed integrity, and produce healthier Cavaliers for generations to come.

Key Goals and Achievements

• Strategic Breeding Plan
  Develop and implement a 3-4 generation plan focused on introducing and maintaining the AG genre in diverse pedigrees.
• Comprehensive Ancestral Database
  Create and maintain a shared database of Cavalier ancestral history dating back to 1970, enabling informed decision-making and monitoring of genetic progress.
• Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing
  Work as a united network of breeds, pooling resources, pedigrees, and expertise for the long-term health of the breed.
• Importation for Diversity
  Explore and pursue opportunities to import semen from international lines to widen the gene pool and minimise the risks of inbreeding.
• Genetic Diversity & Longevity
  Prioritise diverse lines and actively seek out long-life genes, balancing health, temperament, and genetic strength.
• Transparency & RecordKeeping
  Keep open, accurate, and shared records of genetic testing, pedigrees, and outcomes to track progress across generations.
• Education & Support
  Provide ongoing support to group members through resources on genetics, health testing, breeding practices, and international opportunities.
• Sustainability & Legacy
  Built a multi-generational foundation that future breeders can continue, ensuring the AG gene, along with longevity and diversity traits, are preserved and responsibly integrated into Cavaliers worldwide.
