Bloodhounds, boxers, cockers, bulldogs, and several other breeds are prone to it.
So in the case of these pups, were they all of the same litter.....was it caused by a scratched tear duct on all 3? Or if hereditary, would you think the hereditary was passed on by the Poodle side or the Cocker side?
