Carol I consider I learn something new every day! What I cannot understand is the particular reference many times to horses and Cavaliers in particular. I can certainly equate with about learning about other breeds - and I agree you learn more about your own breed at the same time. I spend time at shows watching not only Cavaliers but all breeds being shown and certainly at the moment I am brushing up on my knowledge of the breed standards of all the toy group I still maintain that whilst knowing construction and movement of a horse whilst of value, does not necessarily teach you the same for a dog - how for instance how can the construction and movement of a peke, a bulldog, a smooth terrier, a Dalmatian (the original carriage dog) for example be compared to a horse or for that matter a Cavalier or to each other. All are constructed differently and in consequence move differently
