Patty, having heard some of the things that people have said about other people in
this breed, and having discovered myself that the statements were untrue, I would say
that if the person you are talking about didn't make that statement directly to you, I
wouldn't necessarily believe it.
Here in Virginia we have someone who has been in the breed a long time, and, at
least for a while, she made a practice of telling everyone she could that she was the
only Cavalier breeder in the state who did health tests. Obviously, that was a lie,
since even the pet owners I know who don't bother breeding test......
Some people will say anything, though.
