It wasn't that I didn't appreciate the information that was reprinted from the Premier cavalier site. I was hoping for more involved information. Such as is it the norm to do eyes on pups before they go to new homes? This has been the practice for years in Aussies to find CEA as this is another defect which covers over as the eye matures and colours in. The deffect is still there however and does not just "go away" I have since recieved a few more links to other eye relatated sites, but my original search has been pointed at the Cavalier breeders on this list whom I supposed were in the pere group and not only interested in the superficial aspects of dog ownership and breeding. So folks how many here do eye exams on puppies before they leave for their new homes. Do you do all the litter, or just the show prospects? How much has this helped your breeding programs? What other pre purchase testing is done. I know many in the US can and do administer their own innoculations. This is a mixed blessing in that is saves money, but does remove a licensed veterinarian from the picture. So again I will hope to stimulate some real dalogue.
Leah Swatko Ministik reg. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Leah, Sometimes I give my own innoculations. Every pup gets a vet exam as well. Pups are sold..show as well as pet with a new exam (within the week). I've done eyes on one litter of pups because there was some question..their eyes were fine. Jo Ann B.J.
