Well, Barb,
I do think there is a big difference between $800 and $8000. <G>
Though I'm seeing prices almost that varied on pet puppies!
However, the health guarantee that I do give is for a short period; a
vet check and if something is wrong the buyers may have a full refund.
I don't think, as you say, that testing is worth squat; I think it MAY
help us in the long term. It won't help Mr. and Mrs. pet Buyer today.
I'm breeding with the hope that I may have something to contribute some
day to the Cavalier. I do hope that health and longevity is a big part
of it. It is certainly a good part of what I look for in my breeding
plans. I don't breed to sell pets; I don't think I'm doing anyone a
service to sell them.
