Good grief according to that list I live in a foreign country with no Opthamolgist available.

Jesse,
Dr Scherlie from Oregon comes up and gives a 3 day cerf clinic twice a year. Usually, I find out he's been here about a week he's left. The Diamond Animal Clinic has an ACVO vet come up too, although it's just as hard to find out when he's coming.

Howard,
That's what im afraid of or worse I will be out of town working when they are here. Will just have to make sure I keep my ears open for when they are going to be in town next. Have my 3 year old males OFA done just need to get the CERF now. And then my 2 year old female im hoping to get done as well.

Thanks for the postings! having never been in the dog show world, where do you find those premiums?

The easiest way to find a eye clinic at a show is to look here, http://www.offa.org/clinics.html

I am not certain every show clinic gets listed on the OFA website, but it is difficult to keep track of every show premium so it is good to check there first.

You find a premium by going to the show superintendent's website and finding the upcoming shows schedule. The premiums are posted there to download, usually 1-3 months before the entry deadline. Dog does not have to be entered to be taken to a health clinic. There are several different dog show superintendents. To find out which one manages shows in your area, go to the AKC website's event calendar page, do event search and select the relevant states and all future events. Once you have a list of nearby shows, click on each show listing and it will tell you who the super is for the show.

I also have frustration. I can either travel four + hours east or four hours west into another state. I always cringe when people talk about how simple, cheap and easy it is to maintain a yearly CERF.
