I have been told there is an article in the ourdogs paper recently about banning the Breeding of the Cavalier. I have not got the paper but found an article online. These are the statistics within the article.
How do these figures compare to the Cavaliers in the UK

How do these figures compare to the Cavaliers in the UK
Figures on health problems in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel: (Netherlands)
- 95% (CM) of dogs Chiari-like malformation (CM) (a skull too small).
- 50% have the complete picture of Chiari-like malformation and syringomyelia (CM / SM) with symptoms like chronic pain or itching and / or epilepsy. The disease in humans is seen as one of the most painful that exist (but is fortunately very rare in humans).
- 40% have heart murmur (100% for over 10 years). 52% die of these heart problems;
- 20-30% (Patella Luxatie); 20-30% have chronic knee problems (Patellar Luxation);
- 30% suffer from chronic eye disease;
- 40% have an ear disease (PSOM), which only occurs in Cavaliers
- 10 % (at least) has hip dysplasia.
