Dog Owner Launches Charity Raising Awareness of Pedigree Dog Health Concerns

Dog owner Tania Ledger has set up a charity, Cavalier Matters, to raise awareness and campaign to improve the genetic health of pedigree dogs, in particular Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
 
Although the charity is currently focusing on the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed, in the long term it hopes to extend its scope to other breeds that are affected by genetic health problems.
 
Tania set up the charity with her husband Graham after two of their three Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs Molly and Dougall were diagnosed with Syringomyelia, an incurable neurological condition.
