Having just read the usual Excuses from some Cavalier Breeders about the New Information on
the MVD Problem in Our Cavalier Breed, this is for sure History Repeating itself.
As I mentioned in my Post yesterday , Dr P.Darke, the UK CKCS CLUB's Cardiologist, in 1983 carried out Heart Surveys at Cavalier Shows,and found that the results were alarming ,and immediately Confirmed that the Heart Problem was much more Wide-Spread Than Anticipated or Found in any other Toy Breed.
Note those Cavaliers were Heart Tested at CAVALIER Shows, so it's no use some Cavalier Breeders trying to pin the MVD Problem onto Puppy Farmers and BYB's.
Those Cavaliers would be Cavaliers NOT from Puppy Farms.
As I also said this Article was written by Tom Boardman for the DOG WORLD, 3-7-1998.Tom Boardman ,was CKCS Club Chairman.
Why won't some of those Cavalier Breeders who probably would be around 27 years ago ,accept that they are to Blame for the Extent of the MVD Problem in Cavaliers, and nothing to do with Puppy Farmers.
If they had only listened to the what they were being told at that time, and had followed the Breeding Guidelines from the CKCS CLUB ,the MVD Problem in Cavaliers would not have been allowed to develope to the Stage that it is to-day.
50% of Cavaliers will have a Heart Murmur at 5 years of Age.
According to Dr M. Willis ,Geneticist,
This means 42 % of Cavaliers will be Carriers.
8 % are Clear .
