Peggy, the question was not what I would expect or advocate. The reason for the question was to show how the gene pool is restricted in the U.S. when compared to other breeds and other countries. Private studs are not addressed. The stud in question was advertised in a Stud Review and he is at public stud.
I am not commenting of the desirability of this nor giving my opinion, but I do want to illustrate the difference in the way Cavaliers are bred in the U.S. and the way other breeds are bred. It does affect genetic diversity.
