About Finnickyskye 

We are the husband and wife team of Jim & Sharon Utych. We began showing our veteran boys (Finn & Skye) for fun in the CKCSC USA and the show bug bit us! We are proud owner handlers and our Edgar was the 2018 Number 1 AKC owner handled cavalier. He was also the 2019 Number 1 dog in the CKCSC USA.  His son, Catcher is the 2020 Number 3 AKC owner handled cavalier and the 2021 Number 3 AKC owner handled cavalier.  We recently welcomed Lennyn to our home in May 2021 and he has been showing in the puppy classes. Our boy Stevie is an AKC champion and just turned 7 and has started his veteran career with a bang receiving two 5 point majors at two cavalier specialties (including BIS at the Badgerland Specialty)!

Our sweet veteran who started it all, Finn, was one of the very first cavalier AKC achiever dogs. Finn was retired at 11 and our hearts were forever broken on the day when lost his battle with CHF at age 13 on March 3, 2021.  Our angel Skye is always in our hearts and he was our soul who we lost too soon at 9 years young due to intestinal lymphoma.  He and Finn grew up together and now are together forever. Our kennel affix is in honor of both our boys..Finn & Skye.
