When you speak of 18 pound dogs in a breed that has a very small gene pool as well as a very small percentage of dogs with hips displasia, why is this condition one of your major shcticks? You've imported and bred so many dozens of Cavaliers. One would think you'd eliminated at least the major conditions affecting the health of the breed in your own "stock" by now. <<So ..... don't you all think that it is better to work together, health test the dogs, provide the test results, support the various Club's Health / Heart Registries and in general be a little prouder of one's own health tested dogs and a little more supportive of those who own healthy dogs, joining them in their enthusiasm that their dog is older and healthy? >> Yes, of course, it's important for us all to "be strong" about this....
