I just got this email from the breeder of my Toby:
Hello, haven't E-Mailed in a long time. Sorry for that. Hows The puppy doing? My Scotty is more of a gem the older he gets. Went to obidence class what fun. Going in Aug too. Thinking about showing. Just thinking though. Well any way, one of the girls from the XXXX called me because she acquired a 8yr old male cavalier king charles brown & white. All shots, blood work, almost everything but the kitchen sink. Someone gave him to her nephew because they could not take care of an animal then he was going to move & could not take the dog. She (xxxx) does not want to keep it she just got a puppy before she acquired this cavalier. Soooo! We are in need of a rescue. I remembered you saying you'd love to have another. He may be to old for your taste but thought I'd better give you the chance before any one else. Did I say he's for Free. Let me know!!! xxxxxxxxxxx
I placed the X's to remove identifying info.
Now, here is where I am confused...why would she describe the Cav as "brown and white"? As a breeder, she should have used a different term.
Why would she say all tests "but the kitchen sink" and not mention MVD or SM?
The first place that I x'd out is a vet, BTW. "One of the girls from..."
What do you all think. Of course, I am ready to go and get him. But I am concerned about his age and no info about MVD and SM. But oddly, around here, you never hear about that at all.
As I asked once before, is it possible that, at least, SM is more prevelent in European dogs?
I probably won't be able to get back to see your replies until late Friday night, US time, but I will try to get on in the morning, my time, which is in about 9 hours. (My time= I sleep till 10 or 11am, because that is my patient's sleep time)
I appreciate your comments.
