Hemoralopia in Standard Poodles is the severe inability to see during normal daylight. The affected pups, however, can see in the evening light and indoors where there is dim light, although with reduced vision. Onset appears to be at approximately 5-8 weeks of age and the first symptoms are the pups running into objects they obviously should see.

The severity of the disease can be measured by a test called an ERG (electroretinography) which shows the retinal function.

The following pages will give you in-depth information into this disease and how the University is finding a marker for DNA to test for this disease.

Hemoralopia is in both solid and parti Poodles.
