All
of our Cavaliers are heart tested by Dr. Gilbert Jacobs, canine
cardiologist, Athens, GA. We also test for correct patellas, hips
(OFA prelim), eyes (CERF), and platelets. Each puppy comes with
a veterinary health certificate from either Dr. E. Kim Furr, DVM
or Dr. Nathan Craddock, DVM. Vet references and previous buyer
references are available upon request. We have bred Cavaliers
since 1981 and this is the only breed that we raise.

CERFed for eyes as did the other Cavaliers that we brought to be
checked by Dr. Dietrich..

This is actually how the most important part
of the CERF exam is done. The doctor shines a bright light into
each eye and uses the hightech machinery on her headset to see
the inside of the eyeball.
