Well, I have been there today and they have decided it is in the dogs best interests to re-home them, we are going to have a trial with one of them to see how they cope apart- I think they will be fine. Then I have agreed to take one of them, whichever one we cannot home, as I love them both- such affectionate and trusting boys, despite being entire, they don't have a grumbly bone in their bodies!! But they'll still be going for the chop asap!

We thought it best to say free to goof home, despite their pedigrees, as long as the re-homer is happy to pay for castration. Oooh, forgot to ask about vaccination history. I will check!

Let me know if you think you might be interested, if not, sorry to hijack your post! And thanks for the encouragement, Yvette!

If I didn't have four rescue cavaliers at the moment, I'd gladly take them on! I tend to take on the old ones with the usual heart murmurs and problems! Just love cavaliers to bits.

Hope you find a nice home for them.

We seem to have a few coming through our practice, so I'll keep my eyes open.

I'm trying to convince my in-laws to re-home their "inherited" cavaliers, two very lovely dogs, but need more attention thn they can give, need castrating (IMO!) and it would be stretching it to say they don't have any baggage! If they decide to re-home, they are desperate to re-home them together, but I think thats their perspective and don't think the dogs give a hoot!

One is Blenhiem, has a heart murmur and needs some severe training, the other is Ruby, smaller and calmer. Both 6 yrs old, entire (grrrr!) and have the usual AG probs! I'm not selling them to you well, am I?!

there are loads of older dogs looking for homes but as they are older you can guess that most are going to come with some sort of baggage, be it behavioural or healthwise.

Many tears are good, also try hereford and worcester rescue.
