The British Veterinary Association (BVA), Kennel Club UK (KC), and the International Sheep Dog Society (ISDS) work together to promote eye testing for identifying inherited eye diseases in both pedigree and crossbreed dogs.

By adhering to these guidelines, we uphold the highest standards in breeding practices, prioritising the health and wellbeing of our dogs and their offspring.

All of our CameronCavs breeding dogs have an UNAFFECTED test result.

Why Eye Testing Matters

By screening our breeding adults, we can gather vital information to help reduce or eliminate the likelihood of passing inherited eye diseases to future generations. This proactive approach is a cornerstone of responsible breeding, ensuring healthier outcomes for puppies.

Schedule A and the Eye Scheme

Schedule A is a comprehensive list of breeds and the specific eye conditions known to be inherited within those breeds. Under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme:

A certified veterinary optometrist examines the dog's eyes for signs of inherited diseases.

Results are recorded and made publicly available on the Kennel Club website, ensuring transparency and accountability.
