I was speaking to a woman today, she mentioned she had a cavalier & I said I had 5 dogs at home.
" oh really ? because were going to breed our cav, are any of yours boys"
Her vet had told her it was better for her girl to have a litter before speying ( ARGH !! ) & she wasn't going to bother registering the pups & would just sell them cheap as she only wanted pets ( she seemed to think that made her plans sound better)
I tried to tell her about all the health problems , how cavs are so complicated,etc but she didnt really listen. & It was hard not to sound too preachy or she'd just think I was an over the top control freak.
Maybe someone should write a book specifically on breeding cavs PROPERLY. People might take a little more notice of something in print than a stranger on the street
