    Hi,

    Looking to get a French Bulldog or a Boston Terrier and looking for info on cataracts. If both parents are noted as having been tested for HC-HSF4 and are DNA Hereditarily clear, does this mean that the dog cannot get this form? As far as I understand to get junior cataracts both parents must have the gene?

    Are there other conditions I should be more worried about?
