Canine Eye Registration Foundation	C.E.R.F.
C.E.R.F. is an abbreviation for Canine Eye Registration Foundation which is an organization that began to help eliminate the heritable eye disease of purebred dogs.  C.E.R.F. registers dogs certified free of eye diseases.  In addition, they collect data to research these problems in pure bred dogs. Animals can and should be seen by a vet yearly for this genetic disorder.  The cost is minimal and can be performed at many clinics including the “Ohio State University” vet program for canines.  In addition, some regular vets have the capability of detecting eye disorders as well.  Our cavaliers are checked yearly for eye disorders.   Hopefully with proper breeding practice we can eventually eliminate eye diseases in pure bred dogs.
