Is there anyone who bought a puppy from Cavalier Heaven Jordon MN and received a very sick puppy?

Yes, we received a very sick puppy as well... she had coccidia as well as an extreme strand of bordetella which led to pneumonia. Breeder was adamant that our dog did not have kennel cough but we received info from our local vet that puppies out of her kennel have a history of being bred with these conditions... not happy after thousands of dollars in vet bills, but finally our dog is healthy. Would not recommend her as a breeder.

Are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels healthy?

I have a King Charles Spaniel. Mine is very healthy. However, they are prone to many diseases:

  • heart -- Heart Mitral Valve Disease (main cause of CKCS deaths)
  • brain and spinal cord -- Syringomyelia
  • hips -- Hip dysplasia
  • blood platelets -- Low Blood Platelet Counts
  • breathing -- Brachycephalic Airway Obstruction Syndrome

***MOST OF THESE ARE NOT VERY COMMON.

The one you need to look out for is the Heart Mitral Valve Disease, to avoid your CKCS's death at an early age from this disease, make sure you get him/her from a good breeder. Make sure your CKCS's parents did not get this disease and your CKCS should live a long heathy life. Most live to about 13-15 years.
