Oh, I'd say that site is where some of the club PR money has gone...
It is the same breeder crowd, the exact same group behind the Uk cavalierhealth site, which is itself a desperate attempt by a group of breeders to try and steer people away from Rod Russells' far better known and very heavily frequented Cavalierhealth.com (and Cavalierhealth.org) site.
Typically, this group of foolish breeders clearly they think they scored some big goal by selecting *the exact same name* when they have really shot themselves in the foot -- newcomers are always going to simply remember the cavalierhealth part of the url and thus end up on Rod's site, not their board! :rotfl: Someone who actually understands the net really needs to advise these people -- I could hardly believe it when they chose to use the same name.
But they have got a tiny weeny bit more clued-in -- the reason they are busy setting up websites is they have finally realised how much reach boards like this one and others, and sites like Rod's, have. However just setting up a site is easy -- getting people to visit it and believe it is the challenge.
Why 'celebrating' cavaliers seems to exclude trying to get a healthy dog in the first place in the minds of some of these people -- several of whom have utterly ignored communications from their pet owners who have ended up with cavaliers of their breeding with some serious health problems, such as SM -- is beyond me.
Sites that then extoll a pathetic list of reasons for not screening their dogs, too... and post such articles as helpful reading!
Well, no wonder it is mostly the same old group of same old-same old breeders who join and frequent the sites, not the wider mass of owners who clearly prefer to celebrate the breed in ways that also support caring for the health of the breed.
