If you read the CKCSC statistics of the deceased dogs, from the registration numbers you can estimate the age of death. Plus in the Health Registry there is a list of dogs who died at 12 yrs or over. Over the years, one sees an inordinate number of Cavaliers die at 9 and 10 yrs of age. Some live longer and some die younger. However, it is not unusual for a Cavalier to die at 9 and 10 yrs of age. Way too young in my opinion but that's the way it is. Anne
