What alarmed me even more, was the Cavalier who had been diagnosed with the brain disorder, known by the KC, STILL went on to win at Crufts.
People wonder why I have no time for the kennel Club.

I am gobsmacked to be honest,a very sad day for that breed.
I have no problem with the dog been shown,I do however have a major problem with this particular dog been bred from.
I don't blame the KC I blame the Breeder of this dog and the Owners/Breeders of Bitches who have used this dog at stud knowing full well that he has SM,I don't think you can hold the KC Responsible,they didn't breed him.It is the Breeder's and Owners responsibilty to do right for the well being of their dogs and the health welfare and future of the breed.If this particular owner had any thought for the future of this breed this dog would have been withdrawn/retired from stud services.
