  1. Eye testing recommendations feature in the Code of Ethics for both breed clubs. Although we have a DNA test for one form of progressive retinal atrophy (crd3), it is still important to monitor the ocular (eye) health of the breed …

    If you are planning to mate your bitch or stud dog, please ensure that s/he has an up-to-date eye test at the time of mating i.e. within the 12 months prior to planned mating.

    If you have ever bred from your Glen/s, please ensure that they are regularly eye tested throughout their lives.

    The following “Best Practice” guideline, in the “Breeders’ Section” of the Code of Ethics, was voted for at the EFG’s AGM in March 2015:

    Eye testing using the BVA/KC Eye Testing Scheme
    Both parents to have an up-to-date eye test certificate at time of mating i.e. within the twelve months prior to mating
    Ideally, breeding stock to have regular eye tests, if practicable, throughout their lives – at least every 24 months until the age of 10 years
