If I ever go looking for a Cav puppy again, it won't be from the breeders I got my pair from. I'm not naming names to keep everyone clear... but on their site I saw that they've just had one of the BT girls put down because of cancer. She was ten.
Fair enough.
Then I look across and see that they had one of their other BT girls PTS on the same day... This girl was Amber's grandmother, incidentally, and while I'm pleased that she reached 13, I'm slightly sickened by the fact that one of the reasons given for PTS was that the older girl would not live without the younger, who was her daughter, and the older girl also had a heart murmur.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think this is right. A heart murmur is not heart failure, as many people here have testified, and why not give the mother a chance to see if she could be happy without the daughter?
Karlin, please remove this if it's inappropriate, but I'm sickened. Not going there again. Ever.
