Yes it is Malcolm Burley, and his website is <http://website.lineone.net/~malburley/>; the disorder is also known (in humans) as Arnold-Chiari Type syndrome. There is also brief information on the UK Cavalier club site about this problem, and what is currently being done about it. Rosemary -- Rosemary I.H.
