Brokers seem to be popping up like crazy. We now have one in Cleveland! She just started advertising in the paper a couple of weeks ago. I've talked to a few people who have been to her house and they were absolutely horrified. The puppies were sickly, malnourished, and awful looking. But only $850! None of the people who contacted me bought one because they were too scared to--the puppies looked that bad. But I'm sure she will have no trouble selling them. In fact the last person who just visited her said they were all sold but one.
Unfortunately, now everyone is getting to know about the Cavalier and everyone seems to want one. There are just not enough well bred Cavaliers available. People who want one badly enough (and those who reputable breeders won't sell to) will go elsewhere--either a broker, a pet shop, or other. I have no answers, I just feel for those poor Cavaliers and their new owners. I can only think of one good thing to come of this--the majority of those poorly bred Cavaliers will probably end up being a BAD experience for those unsuspecting people and maybe next time they will decide the Cavalier is either too unhealthy a breed for them and look for a different breed, or they will have learned their lesson and will look for a well bred one.
