Vision & hearing within a years time. Before that she was sprinting at high speed as usual. But her appetite is still good, and has no other health problems.

Chewy was 14. His decline happened fast, in just a few months. Greatest dog in the world. We miss him so.

I don't know any blind dogs but I do know a few blind cats, and you'd swear they could see perfectly. There's one who jumps up on things and back down again without hesitating (and we know she's totally blind because her eyes were removed due to infection). Once in awhile she has to be rescued from a high shelf but otherwise she finds her way around with no trouble. Your puppers knows exactly what's going on.

"It's the Sniffer that is so important." said one vet.
