Once again the post was missing...here's a repost.... If there really is a problem within the breed then it needs to be exposed so that the public is aware of it. I, for one, would rather someone ask me about it so that I can explain what precautions I have taken. Maybe then the person won't buy from a puppymill ( oops, there's that word!) or pet shop. I would encourgage someone who is considering buying a Cavalier to watch the program. IF anyone is breeding dogs with such a horrific condition then I hope they are exposed.
