Championship Show Judges Profile

Roberta A.  (Robbi) Jones, Rutherford Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

At 13, Robbi  showed a dachshund and became hooked on showing dogs.  The Bichon Frise was the first breed she actively bred and showed in conformation and obedience, starting in 1971 when they were a rare breed.  She bred 4 Bichons that became American Kennel Club (AKC) Champions after the breed was recognized.

Her first Cavalier arrived in 1983, which started her 25-year love affair with the breed.  Her original bloodlines were Kindrum and Salador.  Since then, Robbi has owned and/or bred numerous champions in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club (CKCSC), AKC, and Canadian Kennel Club – in addition to several with AKC Obedience titles.  She has bred CKCSC champions in 3 colors and AKC champions in all 4 colors.
