Hi all, I'm new here. I have an 8 year old cav who is slowly dying of heart disease. I would love to get more cav puppies in the future as I just love the breed. However, I just cannot find a responsible breeder? All the top ones say things like 'she has great markings'; I couldn't care less about that, I want to know that the parents are over 3, both with clear hearts and are MRI scanned for SM, and preferably see the grandparents' heart certs too. Is this humanely possible? Is there any kind of list out there of breeders who can supply this info? I don't care if I have to travel a long distance or pay more to get a healthy dog. Often on the phone breeders will say they have both parent dogs to view and heart certs etc but on arrival they only let you see the Mother or something. Unless I can get the info I need I will not buy another cavalier, which is such a shame. My dog has cost me thousands so far with her heart and eye problems ... I'd be interested to know if there any cav owners out there whose dogs have died of 'old age' with NO hereditary problems? And if so, could you email me details of where you got them from please!! :flwr:
