I kept the old stats because my collies when checked at 7 to 8 weeks seem to maintain at about 15% normal, 80% hypoplasia with about half of those "go-normals" and 5% coloboma. I've had only 2 puppies with colobomas in both eyes & 2 puppies that were detached in one eye since I started breeding in 1978, so statistically not measureable. I don't send in my CERF forms even on the normal-eyed puppies. You may be right, Cindy.

About the year 2000, CERF stated that the number of Collies affected with CEA had dropped to about 50% -- however this number was for the number of animals checked for CERF, as opposed to ALL eye checks done by ALL ophthalmologists since not everyone CERFs their dogs.
