Met Two Cavaliers from Ella's Breeder

I would suggest, writing what you feel you should say. Then have a friend or colleague proofread to make sure language/word choice is informative and helpful, rather than condescending, or overly emotional. It's easy to get wrapped up in what your writing and lose track of the tone. You want them to read it and continue to think about it, not discard it.

You could also suggest joining cavalier talk, which would allow them to communicate with you in the future, if they're interested, but without giving them your phone number, or personal email address.

I think your approach is perfect. I am curious, can you tell me the name of your breeder? I got my pup from a breeder down there as well.

I will send you a PM. I do not like saying it public because Ella had severe SM.

What did you decide? And are you leaving a contact incase they want to get ahold of you?
Hope you are doing well, and little Elton too!

I have not done anything yet. I think any breeder not scanning is the same risk. I found out a friend just had her cavalier diagnosed with MVD. Louis was the same age as Ella. I am very sad about that
