Hi all. We are just getting into breeding cavaliers. We already had a female that we love so much. We now have another female (4yrs old) and two males (8months & 4yrs) all from a well established breeder. We also bought another female (6months old) from a kennel about 30 miles away. She has the sweetest personality, but we noticed that she walked a little wierd shortly after we purchased her. We took her to our vet and she was diagnosed with grade 4 patellar luxation. We called the kennel, the refunded our money, but told us to keep the dog. Which was fine with us because our kids love her and we were really struggling with having to send her back to that kennel. We treat our pets like family they, on the other hand, do not. We hated the thought of her not having a loving family.
Has anyone out there had any experience with this problem?? We are not going to breed her because we do not want to pass on that trait.
We also have a question about the 4 yr old female. She has not been bread before. They tried once, but said that she would not stand for a male. Breeder said that she would need to be AI'd. Siad she had bought a puppy to breed her to last year and was just waiting on the puppy to come of age. Any advice about this??
Thanks and any advice is greatly appreciated.
