On the UK CKCS CLUB Web Site this has just appeared ,a Letter from the Kennel Club, headed ,Dog Showing and Health, along with mention of the copy of a Letter included which is recommended to be sent to Members of Parliament.
The first Letter says that Judges are instructed to remove any Dog they deem to be unhealthy from the Ring and Officials at Shows have the Responsibility to ensure that any Dog not so Removed by the Judge ,but which they suspect of being unhealthy is Examined by a Vet.
How will a Cavalier Judge know if a Cavalier is healthy or not, there could be no visable signs of SM or MVD.?
The 2nd suggested Letter to be sent to the Member of Parliament,says that the vast majority of Dogs Bred and Exhibited at Shows are Healthy,,that Dog Shows are one of the best ways in which to eradicate the very distressing Diseases that Blight some Dogs Lives.
For our Cavalier Breed I will say again , that before a Cavalier is made up to be Champion, he or she, particularly a Cavalier Dog should be Health Tested for SM and MVD.
It is well known that when a Dog becomes a Champion ,they are the Flavour of the Month.
