Eye Test

There are currently no known eye specific problems within the Northern Inuit breed, for this reason our dogs were given a a basic check for signs of many different eye disorders. However they were primarily checked for PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy), CEA (Collie Eye Anomily) and MRD (Multifocal Retinal Dysplacia).
