Belinda..Have you seen a canine ophthalmologist?
I had a puppy born with one dry eye. I saw a specialist at 12 weeks. He said it was congenital, not genetic and surgery was done. Puppy was kept by me until it was 6 months old and then went to live in NY with a retired breeder firend..she is about 8 yrs now and has had no other eye problems.

I find the statement by your vet, "continuous" breeding interesting. This was my bitches first litter and the sire was a stud service who was unrelated, making the breeding an outcross. The bitch had future puppies with no problems.
