Theo
Amazing Pedigree!
Theo is our gorgeous blenheim stud imported from Serbia. He has this amazing thick, long dark chestnut-colored coat, gorgeous head, and puppy dog eyes. He has a long history of European champions in his lines including his full brother is AKC Grand Champion. He has all of his certifications for heart, hip, eyes, and patellas. He has a clear embark panel and has already produced some stunning puppies. He has an amazing personality and is so eager to please! He's playful when you want him to be and cav-lazy like most cavaliers are! He produces quality healthy pups with great coloring and beautiful pout pout faces.
A Clear Stud
If your female is a carrier for a disease such as DM or Dry Eye Curly Coat, then she can potentially pass on a carrier gene. If she carries both genes from her parents then she will always pass on one gene. Aside from being beautiful, that is why Theo is such a great stud! He will never pass on a disease gene to any of his puppies.

Be Educated When Choosing a Stud
Questions to ask your breeder. There are a lot of fantastic and reputable breeders out there. There are a few gotchas you'll want to avoid by asking the right questions. Some people advertise that they have a healthy dog or a clear bill of health. That doesn't mean they have been genetically tested. Make sure your stud is genetically tested, but just posting that the stud is "genetically tested" doesn't mean he has amazing genetic results. Be sure to ask specifically whether the genetic testing shows he is clear of Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), Dry Eye Curly Coat Syndrome (CC/DE), Muscular Dystrophy (MD), Episodic Falling Syndrome (EFS), Skeletal Dysplasia (SD).
Is Genetic Testing Necessary on Your Female?
If you have had a genetic panel done on your female that’s great! If you have not done a genetic panel you will still produce pups unaffected by common cavalier diseases when bred to Theo. would still highly recommend having a genetic panel done, however. To pass on a disease to a pup, both parents have to be carriers of the disease. Fortunately, Theo is not a carrier like most males. If your female is a carrier for a disease such as DM or Dry Eye Curly Coat, then she can potentially pass on a carrier gene. If she carries both genes from her parents then she will always pass on one gene. That is why Pongo is such a great stud! He will never pass on a disease gene to any of his puppies. The chart below is helpful in understanding the genetics of common cavalier diseases and what could potentially be passed to pups. Pongo on the chart would be Paternal Healthy (+/+). I know this can be a little complicated. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about this.
