Hello All,
First of let me say this site has been a godsend for all the information from Cavalier owners. it really can give me a better feel for what to expect from mine. I currently dont have mine as of yet (he's only 2 weeks old) but the excitement is still very intense. Let me get to my point so i dont ramble off too much. We lost our family dog a very beloved cockapoo of 16 years of age. My family and i miss having a dog quite a bit its a full household myself, my girlfriend, both my parents, and a brother as well as 2 cats and a sugar glider. However its still empty without a dog. Ive been researchin cav's for about 1-2 years. However i am still scared of there health issues. I think its because i lost my dog and i dont want to put myself through that again, but its not fair to pass up years of unconditional love for the the small time in comparison of pain. I guess im just looking for a little bit of assurance from cavalier owners that they are healthy dogs within reason when the right breeders are chosen. Thank you all so much for your help as well
