| Eye
problems are very serious and can be devastating for dogs and their owners. Early
detection of eye problems increases the chance of successful treatment. Many of
the conditions named below can appear at different stages of a dog's life, and
for that reason, we highly recommend regular CERF testing, starting at two years
of age, then annually till 5 years, then every two years after that. By having
your dog checked by a CERF specialist, even subtle abnormalities can be identified
and the incidence of these diseases in the breed can be monitored.
