I totally agree with Margaret. You certainly shouldn't feel like a fraud. Yes, your puppies are put on a pedestal because of the care you take with breeding them and the attempts you are making to reduce the chances of them suffering from one of these conditions. However, all sensible people will understand that you can't offer guarantees of health, only reduce the odds and ensure a general improvement of those exaggerated features that make cavaliers prone to these horrible illnesses.

Sounds like one of those awful days. I agree with Margaret and Laura's comments - they have put it very well. We can't predict or control everything in this world - only do our very best. I think people will admire your honesty for putting it out there on your blog. Caroline
