It certainly makes sense that HD would be a bigger and more painful problem in large dogs than in small dogs. And you also have the fact that the natural gait on the OES is a pace rather than a trot. I was just trying to make the point that good movement in the ring does not guarantee that the dog will be HD free. I am too new to Cavaliers to know how many have HD or how greatly they suffer but am interested in learning.
