Do many weeks-old cocker spaniel puppies have lazy droopy eyes with their eyeballs on the outter corner of their eyes?
Do many newborn cocker spaniel puppies have lazy eyes?
I found a cocker spaniel puppy in a breeder's web site who looks like she's a half-dozen weeks old approximately and my friend pointed out that the puppy has weird eyes, then I emailed the pictures to my father and he said that "it does look as if something is wrong with both eyes," and my cousin said that the eyes are crossed. Before I email the breeder, I was hoping to get some knowledgeable opinions. I don't want to keep emailing the breeder until I've collected my thoughts on other issues concerning the puppy, so I was hoping that in the meantime I could email the two pictures I have of the puppy to someone in rec.pets.dogs.breeds for a more authoritative opinion. The puppy is halfway accross the country, but according to MapQuest, it's only 4 hours and 31 minutes away by car from my friend's friend's house who might drive out to check for me if the breeder tells me that there's nothing wrong with the dog's eyes. That is to say, to verify that the breeder is telling me the truth. According to my research, cocker spaniels have lots of eye-problems. P.S. I've started to look at pictures of other dogs in a different cocker breeder's site, and two of the dogs who appear to be the same age as the one I want to buy have the same dead/droopy eyes with the eyeballs on the outter corners of the eyes, so I'm hoping that this is common when they're at that age. I will check some more. Thanks again, Chris |

How can they be crossed, if they are at the outer corners? I'm confused. Can you give us a link? I'm assuming you have been using that fantastic information that Diane provided in her post to narrow your search, so if this is a responsible breeder, they should have no problem fielding your inquiry about the puppy. Be sure to get the current CERF numbers on the sire/dam and cross-check them on the CERF website, just to be sure. Christy |

In another picture, the left eyeball is too the left corner and the right eyeball is covered with fur, so I cannot see what it's like. I'm confused. Can you give us a link? I don't want to blacken the breeder's reputation or cause people to doubt her and I don't want her to know that I am writing about her on the worldwide web and that I myself doubt her. I tried to load up the puppy pictures on my homepage, but AOL 9.0 makes it so you can only load jpegs into a homepage and it used to be easy to load two pictures, now I think you can only do one, or you can do more than one, but you need to be a surgeon. It's so much easier with the old AOL versions. The puppy is one of the cutest the world has ever known by the by. |

I asked the vet if Cin's eyes were ok cos they looked a little boss to me when she was little, and the vet said they were perfectly normal for a puppy. It also seemed to take a while for her to really be able to co-ordinate them too. Her eyes look absolutely fine now - well beyond fine, they are beautiful Diana -- Cindy the weimaraner's web site: http://cindy-incidentally.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk (I think I've got most of her growing up phases in her yahoo album, I haven't looked for a while). |

It's so much easier with the old AOL versions. I figured out how to do it. I don't know if I should feel smart or stupid since it took me so many years? I put one of each of the photos on web pages that I created today. In both photographs, aren't not only the pupils all the way to the the outside corners of the eyes, but on top of that, the irises too AND way up high? http://publish.hometown.aol.com/rigi...0missouri.jpg? http://hometown.aol.com/christophert...age/index.html |

http://cindy-incidentally.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk She's so cute. I've harbored a viszla in my house piecemeal for about five months total, because I take her whenever my friend goes on vacation. She does everything I tell her to do, unlike my lhasa apso. I don't think he understands me much when I talk, and when he does, he attaches no importance to obeying. |

It still doesn't work, and by the way it's pretty darn illegal to rip off photos from a site and post them on your own site. If this breeder has a website, then she must not mind people visiting it. You don't put a website up if you don't want people to see stuff (secure servers aside). so just post her website addy. That is public domain. |

That is public domain. She wouldn't want people discussing the concept of her dog having bad eyes if they are perfectly fine and it's not hurting anyone. |
