Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
DNA Profile, DNA Disease Panel, PRA, Cone-Rod Dystrophy 4 (PRA-crd4), DNA Repository
