Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club, USA

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club, USA, is the original national Club governing matters for the entire United States and is the original registering body for the breed in this country. It is not, however, recognized as the national breed club by the AKC as it declined the position. The CKCSC was not interested in pursuing AKC recognition.

It sponsors the newsletter "The Bulletin" to keep members informed of club matters and upcoming activities, in addition to an annual yearbook and the National Championship Show. The CKCSC, USA has a very active Cavalier rescue service. Individuals finding themselves unable to care for their Cavalier may contact the rescue service for help in rehousing. Acceptance of membership in the CKCSC, USA requires members to abide by the club's code of ethics (which is included below) and which should be read and understood by all members.

The CKCSC, USA sponsors four regional clubs. All four regional clubs welcome new members and sponsor championship point shows, fun matches and other activities. In addition to the national bulletin, all four regional clubs also produce their own informative bulletins that provide an additional perspective on local activities. The only requirement for membership in a regional club is membership in the CKCSC, USA.
