Hence thats why Champions/champ lineage =/= good health
i think the champ of the prestigious Crufts Dog Show had a genetic disease too..
and the King Charles Cavalier breed is not healthy at all.. it is a guarantee that one or 2 of the disease specific to the KCC will show up in the poor breed's lifetime
its gotten to the point where people buy dogs and puppies with the realisation that in a few years time they will have to go through the sadness of loosing it...
only a handful gets to very old age..
and dogs were meant to live to 12-13 years no matter how small the size back then...
There's one thing I dont understand... people seems to be misunderstood bout champion lineage and they tend to go for that 'line' instead of pet quality. I mean if I were a show handler of course I would go for the so-called champion lineage but will get my puppy from the reputable show breeder because I know I will get the puppy I want since they're showing their dogs. But nowadays many 'breeder' are now use the 'champion lineage' as the traits to sell their puppies i.e. grandfather imported from German, taiwan, etc or grandfather is the malaysian champion etc etc. i think the champ of the prestigious Crufts Dog Show had a genetic disease too..

I realize some people feels like getting those champion lineage puppies will somehow make them so proud with the fact 'champion lineage' but for me, I feels there's nothing different from these 2 pups except 1 from show quality and 1 for pet quality.
