Cavalier King Charles Spaniel lovers, or just greedy dog breeders?
THIS IS AWESOME!
My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.
Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

So called dog lovers who just breed sick animals for big money, this has to stop now. Kennel. club UK hang your head in shame. This gives us all an idea of the suffering caused, and just how far some breeders will go to defend their lucrative incomes

see this has been caused in the UK they r very few cases in the U.S. and the only reason why they some cases here is cuz thoes dogs where brought here and where breed to normal and healthy cavaliers but it was in the gene pool. seeing this it’s puthic and sad knowing that the poor dogs have to go threw this and all they did was be born!!!! i know very responseable breeder and they check every single pice of paperwork knowing that the puppies r healthy and will go to good homes!

-never had a Cavalier. never really had a close bond with them. none of my friends have them or anything but this just makes me sick. breeders are horrible.

Find me a perfectly …
Find me a perfectly healthy cavalier at over 10 years old. seriously. I have never heard of one, and of the hundreds I meet in the city, they all have some issue. My cavalier is 7 and you’d think she was 17. heartbreaking. these breeders should be banned and the public should know whats happening to ALL our purebreeds. They are all getting worse, not healthier at all.
Its a real shame, …
Its a real shame, and unlike yourself we do not live in fluffy bunny rabbit land, I suspect that its the breeders quest for money that is at the heart of the problem, without programs like this the public would never get to know the facts.
but on another …
but on another point “SM is due to inbreeding!”"” no, not so did you realise people can get sm and i would like to see what you blame that on because you could check their heritage and you will finde nothing of the sort, so …… if you are going to write comments find outwhat your on about!!!
…can i just point …
…can i just point out that the owners of the cavalier king charles spaniels on that program and the boxer should have their animals took off them and should never be allowed any ever again they handled the problems all wrong and made the stuation worse, if the collars hurt the dogs what kind of a good idea is to put a harnes on them and pull drag them so it digs in their skins?????
… this country is …
… this country is going down the sh*tter the breeds have been bred to be stronger and stronger and try to remove all the problems the other things found are no supprise but the breeders are trying to remove the problem so why dont the fat c***s in the bbc directors board put their money into helping the problem rather than making it worse or give a balanced truth about the situation they cant do anything but stir although television audiences are just to blame as its what “we” like to see….
some of you have …
some of you have good ideas but the clubs are very consceonsus on their and no decent person would knowingly breed a dog with problems. but breeders may have used dogs to breed then found out after that they had SM or symtoms. the bbc was completely out of line in making this program the vetenary nurse was completely out of line and should be sacked from the proffesion also the way they confronted beverly the owner of the dog was completely ou of line….
Unfortunately the …
Unfortunately the initial research into SM left a great deal to be desired as to the design and credibility of the study and cannot be relied upon to give us any useful information.
Unquestionably,syringomyelia is no where near as pervasive as the initial flawed research led us to believe. This video is PROPAGANDA pure plain and simple!
The vast majority …
The vast majority of Cavaliers today are healthier than in years past due to the diligence of responsible breeders doing the proper testing and careful analysis of the dogs they use in their breeding programs and to the introduction of new drugs which are helping manage the symptoms of mitral valve disease which remains the most serious health problem in the breed.
ive read much about …
ive read much about this video, especially when the dog was in pain, NO ONE DID ANYTHING TO INTENTIONALLY HURT THE DOG!!!!! they were filming the episode so they could show it to the vet to get a better diagnoses due to the fact that the dog is not always in pain. people like you are the problem, pounding the war drum gets these pups no-where money and research and responsible breeding do, you obviously have no idea how this malformation affects these dogs
actually mutts are …
actually mutts are healthier. When u compare them to many overbred breeds (and oh boy are there many, starting from plain golden retrievers)
the fist woman on …
the fist woman on the video wearing green,, kinda looks like karolina kurkova… hahah just my opinion
If its not illegal …
If its not illegal and theres money in it, breeders or puppy farms will do it.
Dovdecott if you …
Dovdecott if you really want to be taken seriously on this subject you must accept that many people do know more about dogs and genetics than the producers of this programme who set out to give a very very slanted view they did not show ANY of the footage they took showing all the
improvements in the …
improvements in the heart conditions in the CKCS as it did not suit the STORY they wanted to tell. The vast majority of breeders of dogs do their very best to produce happy healthy puppies as they love their breeds and their own dogs, and use the many health test that are available (again the producers decided not to show ANY of this)
They have tried to …
They have tried to make out that dogs are very inbred and keep on saying about mother to son mating etc, whish is complete and utter rubbish I would defy ANYONE to show me a litter bred in that way today by a breeder, it is likely to be a puppy farmer who would not bother to register their dogs at the KC anyway. Please please listen to the fact s and dont judge just on this very bias, and poorly researched programme, it has many errors in it at best or down right lies.
NO there is no …
NO there is no proof that Mutts are healthier, the very fact they HAVE NO health checks in place unlike the manyy thousands of pedigrees that go through the officail vets and and KC schemes each year, please do not get swayed by such a badley made and bias programme
David Cavil may be …
David Cavil may be a very nice man but Im more interested in your own thoughts. Would you consider in-breeding to be the mating father with daughter with, brother with sister only ?
I suggest that you …
I suggest that you 9and anyone else interested) look up David Cavill on You tube as he offers some excellent and well qualified discussion on this topic. This format for responses is to limited as to the amount of words permitted for me to do justice to the topic.
There are three or four really good videos of David Cavill discussing canine genetics and even one discussing the particulars of the above video.
Interesting, maybe …
Interesting, maybe you could define your own idea of line bred and inter bred for those who find it too close to call.
No, I mean what I …
No, I mean what I said, Line bred. You apparently don’t realize that the two terms are not interchangeable as they are not the same.
