Just wondering what you all thought about this. Do you think that dogs who've had struggles eg with their health or otherwise seem to be extra plucky and extra special.
Fergus got laryngitis when he was 12 days old and was not able to suckle. He had to be dropper fed every 2 hours by the breeder and virtually lived in her arms for days. As a result he's certainly a small cavie compared to the rest of the litter but he's so plucky and so lovable. He just seems to have a quality about him that everyone loves and he craves human attention even more than usual for a cav. Certainly compared tp his brother and cousin.
A breeder we know had another one with a heart murmur and was also small but had that same sort of character. And now reading about Sam having that special quality about him to.
I'm wondering for those of you who've had dogs with various problems or those of you who recue cavs, do you find this to be a bit of a common trait? That their difficulties in life have resulted in a resilience and loving quality about them that is quite unique. Just a thought.
