You need to be concerned about associated genetic problems.  Blindness is 
many times associated with other problems like dwarfism and in turn there can 
be multiple problems that necessitate expensive and emotionally connected 
medical interventions over the years.  I would have the dog checked 
completely by a vet first.  You might be opening the door to many dollars 
cost and the emotional trauma associated with the problems.
