Well the specialist cavalier veterinary advice is as follows:
1.No dog/bitch under the age of 2 1/2 years of age to be bred from
2.ALL breeding dogs & bitches to be MRI scanned clear of Syringohydromyelia
3.ALL breeding dogs & bitches to current eye certificates(can only be done by specialist vet)ie the y are tested yearly
4.ALL breeding dogs & bitxhes to have a current clear heart certificates(as above must be done yearly)
5.Hip x rayed & scored for Hip Dysplasia
6.Close relatives(parents/offspring/siblings)of SHM sufferers should not be bred from & also if there is line breeding it should only be on one side of the pedigree
So you have plenty of time to get him into the ring & shown & assessed against the breed standard to see if he is good enough to be bred from & if he is bitch owners will contact you
