Jaxon had a very busy day.

Today was a milestone for our little boy. He had a very important appointment with his Canine Ophthalmologist for his C.E.R.F. eye exam. Good breeding practices for a potential stud require a passing C.E.R.F. exam from a certified canine eye vet. During this exam, the vet looks for eye folds, PPM's (Persistent Papillary Membranes), Distichiasis (extra eyelashes), cataracts and many other issues that can be passed onto pups. Some of these 'dents' have minimal impact while others render the pup ineligible for a breeding program.

Happily, the vet said that Jaxon had 'beautifully healthy eyes - perfect!' Music to my ears for sure!!!

I have to share that Jaxon was such a hit because he is so very, very social to both people and other dogs. So many people (and dogs) came up to him to have some interaction and he loved it. :+) His favorite by far, is to come up to you wagging like crazy and then slump down on the floor to have his belly rubbed. He has this down to an art form.

As you can see, he really worked the room and is totally exhausted.

  1. What a precious face he has! Big surprise - Lila is smitten! We here have a feeling that this may be the daddy of our next doodle, so our fingers are crossed that he passes all his exams with flying colors!
