I thought Villagers were not to have in excess of two pets?

this breed is known to have genetic strains of heart disease that shortens their dear lives. do you have evidence that the breeding pairs are free of that?

King Charles Cavalier Puppies
Quote:
All purebreds are prone to genetic issues if they are sufficiently inbred. While your comment is technically accurate (as for most breeds), good veterinary history and familial genealogy can help minimize these issues. My avatar is of our former Cavalier, Winston. Our current pet, Harry, will be 3 in August. His predecessor, Winston, lived until 10. His family had 7 genetic heart problem free generations. Despite that he did develop a heart murmur. I couldn't ask for a pet with a sweeter disposition. What's important is to research the family line. Not generally discourage people from purchasing the breed. Personally, I could not ever own another breed.

Please get AKC registry numbers (that might be the wrong term) from the breeder and take them to your vet. She will help you look up the genealogy of the family and any certifications as to heart, joints, eyes, etc. A good breeder will have this, but you can double-check. I have heard that Cavs have a golden retriever's happy-go-lucky, people loving temperament in a small, manageable body. I know of one whose best friend was a Rottweiler! They sound like great dogs.

CFrance is correct in what she says and Dbusssone is correct in that all breeds are prone to something. However, that should never stop you from loving and getting what you want. Even most dogs of uncertain breed history have something in their genetic makeup whereby they are prone to something. Throughout my husband's and my life we have had both purebred and mutts. In purchasing a pure bred dog I would never buy from someone who is simply "having a litter." Usually, it's because they want to make money. We only buy from a breeder. Breeders usually show their dogs and when they breed, do so for the betterment of the breed. Their dogs are a serious business for them. The good breeders will always have some champions in the dog's lineage.

This is a wonderful breed but please ask about the heart health and longevity of the parents and grandparents. My Molly )a Cavalier KCS) was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and died at age 8.....it turned out her mother also had that. It is heartbreaking and took 6 months as she slowly went downhill. Some people can take that. It is very hard on others.
