Blenheim (Chestnut and White)
Blenheim (Chestnut and White)
The Blenheim Cavalier has rich chestnut markings on a white background. Some Blenheim Cavaliers have a spot in the middle of thier forehead. This spot is called the Blenhiem spot and also the mark of the Duchess Thumb print. This is based on a legend about Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough. The legend states while awaiting news of her husband's safe return from the Battle of Blenheim, she had pressed the head of an expecting female Cavalier with her thumb, which resulted in five puppies having the lucky Blenhiem spot after she recieved the news that the battle had been won.
