Phoenix, never feel guilty that you had to have Hugo put to sleep. With his condition you gave him the last act of love and kindness that you could, to set him free and not to suffer anymore. I have faced that decision many times but know in my heart I have been able to give the gift of freedom to any of my ill dogs, even though I have missed them all terribly.

Since 1980 I have had Cavalier King Charles spaniels who carry the risk of Mitral Valve Disease, caused by early interbreeding, so, with my last puppy I searched for breeders who were concentrating on breeding MVD out of their lines, and where the pup's parents and grand parents and great grandparents were MVD and SM free at 5 years old, and my two Muffin and Leo are still heart murmur free at 7yrs and 6yrs old. This is why I am against Puppy farms/mills and any indiscriminate breeders who just breed for money with no thought for anything but their own pockets.
