This is exactly what I'm talking about. To test your dog for anything that you chose to test it for is not "insane". It is a personal choice. Also, and this is not intended to offend any potential purchasers of cavalier pups out there in cyberspace, but I don't care if people want to buy a cavalier or not. I'm honestly not concerned about future puppy buyers. All of my concern is for the dogs, the future of the breed, the overall health of the breed. Who cares if we scare off a puppy buyer because we test our dogs? Certainly not me. Myra
