We have started studying the genetic diversity of the breed.
Flemish Government has granted a scholarship for a period of 4 years.
"Sustainable breeding of dogs, breed specific strategies for the reduction of hereditary health problems in dogs".
The goal of this scholarship is to develop a "Mate Select type program", that will be based on Estimated Breeding Values, calculated from all types of health screenings, including DNA tests, eyetests, MRI scans, cardiologist reports, etc, and to offer a reduction of the inbreeding coefficient. The Cavalier is the centrepiece of this program.
