So this raises a question. How good should these dog's night vision be? Jake's is great, but I wonder because with my collies PRA (Pogressive Retinal Atrophy) is a really big thing and all breeding stock is eye checked and rated. As Conner got older (he was a mild ) he had more and more trouble seeing in the dark. We knew that his eyesight was failing from that point.

Are eyes one of the weak links that should be part of health testing with these dogs?
