I am trying to find out where I can have Belle's eyes checked. I was talking to my vet about having her hips ofa'd which he can do, but he can't check her eyes. He thinks the the closest place is Ohio State University. I was hoping to find someplace a little closer since that is a 2 hour drive for us. We will drive that far if we have to though.

Hi Jessica,
Yes, I have generally had to drive at least 1.5 hrs. There is usually a Cerf clinic at the Columbus Akc show in Feb. I am not in preference of the vet they usually have there (JMO). I have driven to Michigan- about 3.5 hours to a health clinic they have there in the early spring. I really liked the vet they had at that one. I can find out the info on that clinic if you are interested.
Crestlynn says there is one about 1 hr east of her- so it would be approx. 3 hrs east of you- that one has an office in Ohio I guess. Never been to her.
Anything you do in our area, health clinics, showing, herding, flyball, agility, is going to mean a drive since we live in what I jokingly like to call 'the Wasteland'

I am open to anything right now so any info is appreciated
thanks Lightplum, I wish i could get a hold of a local dog club in my area. the closest dog club to me is the Crawford County Kennel Club and I can't seem to get a hold of them. the info on Akc is either wrong or out of date. I have e mailed and regular mailed them. I haven't heard anything from them! I even called Akc to try and get a number to call and they guy said he couldn't find any info on the club? I know they have a show in Bucyrus every year in May/June time frame.

thanks! I will have to check them out. Is there anything you need to bring other than the doglike her registration certificate?
you need their AKC # and DOB and owner info. I usually just bring their pedigree form with all the #'s on it
thanks!
you can't tell I am new to all this can you?
keep asking questions thats how you learn
