Lisa your nan is lucky. I love cavaliers and I'm on my third. I lost my first to cancer at 11, the second to a heart murmur at 8, and now Dylan who at approx 8 yrs has a heart murmur and respiratory disease. At the mo he manages well thanks to medication, but I have been here before and know what will probably happen -and totally dread it. He was brought into my local RSPCA at a year old to be PTS (something that should have been done to the then owner!!). The reasons were pathetic and after lots of encouragement he was signed over. Being on the Committee (sorry if this offends but someone has to do it) I nabbed him. I believe he's from a puppy farm so I did expect to get probs. Even so I took the chance and don't regret it. He's the daftest dog in the world and I love him to bits. He also snores for England which drives my OH insane!!. In this day and age I would never have a Cavalier without insurance!.
