A number of people have commented on Charlie saying that he looks more like a cocker or springer spaniel due to his long nose and long legs :yikes even the vet said that he's a poor specimen! at the time I thought that she meant he was maybe the runt of the litter due to all his problems/illnesses, that didn't bother me as I love him to bits.
As some of you may know we have our doubts about the breeder, we don't actually think that she's a reputable one!
I must admit I too thought his nose/legs were a little on the long side but hoped that he would fill out and get into proportion, it's playing on my mind that maybe he isn't a purebred cavalier and is in fact a Cockalier :yikes I've done a little investigating and he does look like one of these Cockalier's (cavalier/cocker spaniel cross), this is obviously a shock and would maybe explain his unusual behaviour yesterday and his constant health problems?
Surely someone can't get away with doing this??
I've contacted the people where we got him from explaining our concerns and have asked for telephone numbers of Charlies brothers & sisters just to see how they've been, when I asked of the health of his parents he didn't know if the father had been properly checked out only for the eye's, I must admit we didn't actually see the dad, she did say that she had asked for photos but didn't have any yet :?
I can't get my head around any of this :x
What would you do in this situation?
Thanks in advance
