Poor Theo

To preface, I went to college for studies related to animals and we did have classes on the unfortunate side of breeding as well as dog health in general. I can’t help but feel weird about this Theo situation. His breed is known for having very severe and very painful problems as they age (pls google Chiari Malformations in King Cavalier Spaniels for more information, very sad). As a dog lover, I’m a big advocate of avoiding breeding dogs that are just going to end up in pain for half their life. I’m sure that they got their pups from a breeder and that makes me so sad. I really wish they did their research. Yes, king cavalier spaniels are very cute, but they are also pretty unethical to get from a breeder. I hope Theo is in as little pain as possible.
