The one I was keeping an eye on most (puppy mill Cavvy, from a warehouse

That's about it.


That's certainly unusual. And lucky. I believe that almost all Cavs that
make it to age 10 develop MVD by that time (50% by age 5).

Benji got to like 12 and had a bit of arthritis other then that he lived a
full healty life.
Oh he did have a few skin proplems caused by wheat husks in cheap food.
