That is not the way to breed and why I foresee a generic Cavalier in the future - passing all its health clearances but the true essence of the Cavalier lost Again just my opinion for what it is worth
Annette ------------ Well, the US has tried breeding for type and gotten the beautiful Cavalier that drops dead at age seven. Surely there is a midway point between that and the plain dog that lives to be 15. Well, I know that there is as I have seen some beauties that were old and typy, so I know that it can be done, but not by breeding to unhealthy dogs no matter how beautiful. I actually think that the breeder practises and club politics in the past caused a genetic bottleneck that was similar to the cheetah or to foundation stud syndrome. This can be overcome, but not by using unhealthy dogs even if they are of great beauty.
