Is a puppy's cross-eyed or lazy eye normal? Will they go blind?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I plan to get a Pitbull/American bulldog puppy and her eyes seem to be a little cross eyed or lazy at times. Is this bad? Does this indicate she’ll go blind?

She looks very sweet and her eyes look fairly normal. Cross-eyedness is not a sign that the puppy will go blind. There are many dogs that are a bit cross-eyed and they have absolutely no health problems with their eyes.
