THE main purpose of the British Veterinary Association/Kennel Club/International Sheep Dog Society
(BVA/KC/ISDS) Eye Scheme is to ensure that there is no evidence of hereditary eye disease in dogs that are used for breeding. In order to achieve this aim it is important not only that all dogs that are to be
bred from are examined under the scheme, irrespective of whether there are known inherited eye
problems within the breed, but that the scheme is kept under active review with regard to inherited
eye diseases and breeds that should be included.
