Owner Info:  When our son was 2 months old she went blind. It was sudden and the vet said there wasn't anything that could be done to correct it. With a very young child who cannot communicate his location (5 month old) it is a worry that she will accidently step on him or jump on him. We have taken her to the vet since the blindness set in and they didn't advise any treatments but confirmed that she is blind. She has a sage brush allergy which is controlled with Cyclosporine. Since sage brush is not in other areas of the country I think this is a regional allergy. Since she has gone blind, if the other dog takes her by surprise she will make an “I'm here” noise but that will be all. She has been to the dog park multiple times before the blindness and was calm and social with all the dogs. She is such a sweet dog. She will walk right beside you and lay right beside you on the couch. She was somewhat hyper but since the blindness she has really mellowed out and will rest on the floor or couch most of the day unless she can go on a walk. Maia is an indoor dog with run of the house, she is housebroken and leash trained and knows sit. She is outgoing and gets along with people of all ages and other dogs. Cats - unknown. She could be the perfect best friend for someone who is single and looking for a dog to love on them and cuddle!
