This is the Head-Lines on the Front Page of a Dog Magazine Published this Week.
The Two Health Subjects in Cavaliers mentioned are SM and MVD,included also was EFS.
Mention was made in the Article about the EBVs,now we know that because of the non-co-operation of a number of Cavalier Breeders in giving the Health Data to the Researchers for the EBVs Scheme, the Cavalier Breed has slipped from the Fore-Most Position in this and has been over-taken by the Labrador Breed, where the Information needed has been more forh-coming.
It was said in the Article ,this comment made by Dr Tom Lewis ,one of the Researchers ,that the Lack of Data is delaying the Production of the Values for SM in Cavaliers.
Should some Cavalier Breeders not be Hanging their Heads in Shame because of this Remark being made. !
The Figure of around a Third of the Cavalier Population has been thought by Researchers to be suffering from SM in varying degrees ,I am sure the Cavalier Buying Public will have noted this Remark from the Article.
Also mentioned in the Article was this Comment by Simon Swift ,European Recognized Specialist in Veterinary Cardiology and Advisor to the UK CKCS CLUB, that All Cavalier Breeders should follow the CLUB'S Breeding Guideline Recommendations to Reduce the Incidence of MVD in Cavaliers .
THAT BOTH PARENTS ARE OVER 2.5 YEARS OF AGE ,AND HAVE CLEAR HEART CERTIFICATES BEFORE BEING BRED FROM.
THE PARENTS OF BOTH THE CAVALIER BROOD BITCH AND STUD ,SHOULD ALSO HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED CLEAR OF A HEART MURMUR AT 5 YEARS OF AGE.
What have we learnt from a Post from Margaret ,that a CKCS CLUB Committee Member,is using Under-Age Cavaliers in the Breeding Program.
Should the CKCS CLUB COMMITTEE ,as a first Priority ,start putting their Own House in Order ,to at Least try and SAVE THE CAVALIER BREED by making Committee Members set an Example by following the CLUB'S Breeding Guideline Recommendations?
I would Have Thought So.
Maybe now some Cavalier Breeders will have to Realize ,that no Amount of Spinning will cover up the Fact ,that when a Questione is asked by a DOG MAGAZINE about the Health Problems in our Cavalier Breed ,and can the Breed be Saved, the Cavaliers are in Serious Trouble.
