The Labrador parent should have
a clear eye certificate from the last year.
Stud Dog owners should disclose to owners of bitches who wish to use their dog that the dog is a known carrier (by virtue of it being out of an affected parent or having itself sired affected offspring, or by virtue of it having been genetically identified as a carrier for the Cord1 mutation), even though the Stud Dog may himself have a current clinically
clear eye certificate.
*** Whether or not a known Cord1 carrier is being used, breeders are strongly advised that all dogs / bitches being used for breeding should carry up to date
clear eye certificates, valid at the time of mating (i.e. they have been passed clinically clear through a standard periodic eye test no more than one year prior to the mating taking place).
