Rupert’s Fund was created to help critical research into the painful neurological condition Syringomyelia, which affects Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and some other breeds. The Fund pays for MRI scans for older Cavaliers, helping breeders to choose the healthiest dogs to breed from. The MRIs also help with research to find the genes responsible for causing the problems. To date over £17,000 has been raised enabling 57 dogs to be MRI scanned – the money is raised in various ways: Sales from the on-line Cavalier Gift shop – the Cavalier Matters stand goes to Crufts and Discover dogs The sale of calendars. An annual photo competition is run on the Cavalier Talk forum to select the photos. Some of our photos have been featured on these calendars. Auctions and stalls at local craft sales and dog shows. |
