Im not even sure if puppies with problems can be akc registered. i was told by a friend that they couldnt be. And my puppy is supposed to be registerable. I dont think the breeder I got the dog from is all that good, but i feel so sorry for the puppy I cant/wont return her. she wouldnt have gotten the puppy the surgery if I had taken her back and then the puppy would have suffered for life. I think thats awful i just want to know how many more of her dogs are suffering right now. and i also have another question when i talked to her on teh phone last she said she was reigsted with some bredding program as a hobby breeder which meant she could have up to 10 breeding females what kind of registeration is that or is there even one? I didnt know 10 breeding females would be considered a hobby seeems like an awful lot to me.

Entropion is a medical condition in which the eyelids fold inward. It is very uncomfortable, as the eyelashes rub against the cornea constantly
Symptoms of entropion include:
Redness and pain around the eye
Sensitivity to light and wind
Sagging skin around the eye
Excessive tearing
Decreased vision, especially if the cornea is damaged
Treatment is a simple surgery in which excess skin of the outer lids is removed. Prognosis is excellent if surgery is performed before the cornea is damaged
Upper lid entropion involves the eyelashes rubbing on the eye, but the lower lid usually has no eyelashes, so hair rubs on the eye. Surgical correction is used in more severe cases. A strip of skin and orbicularis oculi muscle are removed parallel to the affected portion of the lid and then the skin is sutured
