Maybe not on the flip side of this, but we met a woman in the pet store ( no dogs) who had purchased a Cavalier from our local pet shop and this was her first Cavalier. The poor thing was huge. He was the size of a cocker spaniel. He may have been healthy but my concern would have been, what was behind the breeding. Sheepishly, she did admit that he was her first and she didn't know enough at the time. "He was so cute in the store", she said.
As long as they are out there and people buy them because they don't know maybe where to find a local breeder or can not resit the pull of a child screaming that they will die if they don't get this puppy, we will always encounter this problem. We do not have any Cavalier puppies for sale but we do have English cocker puppies and our neighbors just bought a 6 week old Bichon from the same store. The daughter and wife had to have him! You just can't win the how much is the puppy in the window battle sometimes.
