Comments
If you don't mind me asking, what is CEA?
Hokkaido breed is highly susceptible to CEA because of the known CEA-associated mutation much like the Collie-related breeds.
More information about CEA:

Very sorry that breeders use their dogs without CEA test...
I know CEA affected dogs, they are use as a stud. I'm very happy that all my 3 Hokkas are just carriers :-)
I'm trying with all my strength to propagate the genetic CEA-eye check, every breeders should do before use their dogs but it seems I'm alone :-(
Good luck with the litter hope things go well.
