Sonny is not considered a pyr that should be in any breeding 
program for more reasons than the eyes.  Already been told should 
not be used for breeding with these eye conditions.  CERF report 
has it listed as an inherited condition and there's no spot for it yet 
so it's "other inherited" and described.  Which Grahn states 
probably autosomal recessive trait so any breeding that's done 
would have to do it to breed away from the trait.  

And for anybody in the central Texas area both of the A&M 
ophalmologists, Millichamp and Dziezye, have a clinic down at 
Central Texas Veterinary Specialty Hospital, if you want to have 
your pyrs or other breeds CERF'd.
