Day Blindness ( Hemoralopia) in Standard Poodles.

Some have disputed Day Blindness  in Standard Poodles even though we had stated that we had two Day Blind puppies. On Thursday October 18th '07 the two day blind puppies underwent the test to confirm this diagnosis. Missouri State University's Dr Narftrom flew to Phoenix, Arizona to do the test herself. Follow up tests will be done in 3-6 months and then every 6 months thereafter. Missouri State continues to look for the gene that causes this and will soon be accepting blood to try to find the Hemoralopia gene. A full report on the Day Blind pups will be available for us in approximately two weeks. We will post those reports here.

To learn more about Hemoralopia please go to the Day Blind site at http://dayblind.org
