CERF – Canine Eye Registration Foundation
BBCI is pleased to announce that it has petitioned CERF to include the Biewer in its registry database. CERF agreed to our request and will now issue certificates to Biewers who pass their eye exams.
Biewer owner/breeders are urged to include this testing in their programs to ensure their dog's are certified free of heritable eye disease before breeding. This is one more crucial step to protect our beautiful breed.
Certificates are good for a period of one year. Eye exams are done annually by board certified Canine Ophthalmologists. Many dog show venues, including AKC sanctioned shows, offer clinics for the eye exams. Check with your local kennel clubs to see if they have schedules listed for clinics in your area.
