Gundogs are already a force for good so making them tiny is just absolutely unbelievably good. It is actually super fucked up and homophobic that cavaliers are the only true toy gundog. WHERE is the mini lab? the pocket springer? why aren't there more of them? why are the only two options "fucking huge" and grinch feet? I'm angry I'd like to speak to the manager

The fun thing about cavs is that once you get past the highest risk period for Horrible Progressive Brain Condition you pass into the highest risk period for Horrible Progressive Heart Condition pretty much immediately

I'm constantly finding out that CKCS health is even worse than I originally thought and it makes me so sad. They're incredible dogs, they're The Best Dogs, and I want them to keep existing! I do! But as sad as it is, I would rather see them die out than go on like this.

It's not okay that "heart clear" means "their hearts don't start failing until they're 6+ years old" when dogs their size can regularly make it to 16. It's not okay that their average COI is between 35-45%. It's not okay that reports of hip dysplasia, cancer, cushing disease, and epilepsy are becoming increasingly common.

Theyre my favorite thing. Kovu is my FAVORITE THING. But it's not okay.

#ppl keep telling me Kovu makes them want a cav and part of me wants to say YES GET ONE THEY'RE PERFECT #and the other part wants to tell them to save themselves #theyll break your heart #ckcs #ckcs vent #outcrossing #dog vent

Cavaliers were 'recreated' through crossbreeding in the 1920s, then 20 years later when all but 6 dogs died out during World War II they just. bred them all together instead of allowing Evil Outcrosses to taint the bloodline. And that opinion has not changed with scientific advances directly contradicting it.

Yearly echos and MRIs aren't going to open up a genetic bottleneck yall. Without outcrossing, cavs will be 'protected' into extinction. And these sweet, sweet dogs will continue to suffer for every month, week, day and minute it takes for that to happen. It's so stupid! It's so stupid and shitty and arbitrary and unfair.

#what if this small companion spaniel acts too much like another small companion spaniel for a few generations??#thats a fate worse than chronic illness and premature death #ckcs #ckcs vent #dog culture #outcrossing #time for my bimonthly spiral about how sad I am I can't have an entire pack of cavaliers #I hate feeling like the rug could be pulled out from me anytime. I should be able to expect kovu to live a long healthy life.#but that would be naive. at every vet visit I wonder: is this the one? is this the one where I find out my sweet little dogs heart #is filling up with his own blood? or that his brain is pressing against his skull and he will slowly lose the ability to use his body?#what if by the time I have the money for dog sports im too late?#it's so shitty. its so shitty. NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO FEEL LIKE THIS. NO BREED SHOULD BE LIKE THIS #animal death #animal illness #MVD #SM

I love that Cavaliers are used as the example of The Standard calling for an eyeshape that makes the eyes more prone to injury. purely for aesthetics of course. Kovu is a little spaniel that wants to do little spaniel things like dive into brush but if I let him do so he SCRATCHES HIS CORNEA and needs antibiotics 🙃
