It is also of interest to note that although the abstract states that in a swedish study, the sires and dams were selected for the study on the "basis of their liability to develop CVD", still only 45% of the offspring produced had S/S CVD at five years of age. This is quite a significantly different statement than what we have previously heard; that all cavaliers over 5 have MVD. Now, I am left wondering exactly what the statement: 'Basis of their liability to develop CVD' means. It makes you wonder what percentage of offspring would show S/S of the disease is the study group was chosen on the basis of their 'decreased' liability to develop CVD. Myra Savant
