The Canine Eye Registration Foundation is an organization that was founded by a group of concerned, purebred owner/breeders who recognized that the quality of their dog's lives were being affected by heritable eye disease. CERF was then established in conjunction with cooperating, board certified, veterinary ophthalmologists, as a means to accomplish the goal of elimination of heritable eye disease in all purebred dogs and now hybrid dogs by forming a centralized, national registry. This registry is run by the Veterinary Medical DataBases, as a service to breeders and veterinary ophthalmologists who strive to eliminate eye disease in dogs. By becoming a member of CERF your club affirms its commitment to “ man's” best friend by helping to sustain CERF's mission to eliminate heritable eye disease in dogs.
