I have the option to buy a welsh collie. She is 15 months old but needs training she is keen and has a lovely temperament. But not convinced by her eyesight. She looks around when we are walking and talking which worries me a lot. I havent paid for her yet.
My concern stems from prev two huntaway/collie dogs my husband bought a few years ago. They both went mad and blind around 14 months old even though the useless domestic vet had no ideas. I did my own research and if was def CL - http://www.optigen.com/opt9_cltest4collies.html
My question is do Welsh collies carry this problem. How can I confirm the dog has good eyes?
Anyone come across problems with blindness in Welsh Collies?
