pups eye seight

[Sully 3]

Hi all, hope that yall well, took Lexy (12 Wks) out for her usual evening stroll, tend to go a lil bit longer than the suggested 20 mins, well Ive just started letting her have a bit of freedom, obviously keeping my eye on her, well it was strange as she got to the top of a slope, she was about 20 feet away to my right, well I could have swore that she couldnt see me, I looked at her and watched to see what her plan was, she then set off in totally the wrong direction (not panicked but looked like she would when she returns to me) Ive got her returning well to a dog whistle, so I gave it a blow and I saw immediately her intension was to find me, she turned and headed back towards me, but again Im sure that she couldnt see me, I had to pretty much jump up and down, at home we have no problems, dont bump into things, or owt like that, she's not a Merle but I know theres a fair few problems with there eyeseight, and just wanted to hear your thoughts,

Thanks Craig

Hi SPH, just read my post and your right she's not a Merle, I was trying to state that Merles have some historical eyeseight problems, she's a Hancock bred dog, whats your thoughts ?

THIS IS NOT A HANCOCK FOR OR AGAINST DEBATE !

all lurchers eyes are tuned to movement, have seen my dogs looking round a field with rabbits sitting still with no reaction but if one moves there off, could just be that.

or to test eyes cover one with one hand and move your hand towards uncovered eye as if your going to hit it, it should react blink etc. then same for other eye.

hope this helps fella

Hi Jamie, thanks for your comments mate, she's very loved,in this piccy, we'd not had her long so I put some cuddly teddies in with her, calmed her down almost straight away, she obviously didnt like the feling of being alone in her bed, having been with the other whelps for 8 Wks.

Ive gone on record on this site, asking if a dog can be firstly a loved pet and secondly a working dog, doing what she loves doing, this however has it's implications I know for sure that I become way way to attached to my dogs (it took me Weeks to get over Lora having to be put down, and still kicks the air outa my lungs when I think about her now, so forgive me if Im over cautious, just want to give her the best possible chance.....nothing wrong in that now is there
