Introducing Bella and Teddi’s puppies!

Note: I spoke a little about the Duchess’s thumbprint on the top of some of the pups heads. Legend

has it that while the Duke was away fighting the battle of Blenheim, Sarah, the Duchess of Marlborough, was worried sick that her husband may not return. She sat in the garden with a pregnant Cavalier on her lap and stroked the mum to be, pressing her thumb on top of the spaniels head. When the news arrived that the battle was won, and the Duke was safe, the puppies were born! All of the Cavalier King Charles were marked with a chestnut coloured imprint of the Duchess’s thumb in the middle of their forehead!
