Echocardiographic assessment of mitral valve was done in four Spitz dogs aged more than 10 yr using two-dimensional, M-mode and colour flow Doppler echocardiography. All the dogs were diagnosed with chronic valvular heart disease. Mitral valve prolapse was present in all the dogs and mitral regurgitation in two dogs. Echocardiographic indices were calculated. Colour flow Doppler echocardiography was found more sensitive and specific for diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation
