There are many breeds of dogs that have eye diseases - in some dog breeds a DNA test is available, in others not ... as for the Dobermann, I do not belive this breed to be more exposed to eye diseases than other breeds of dogs, also inregard to muts.

PRA is a recessive heritage
phtvl/phpv is a dominant heritage with incomplete penetration

both test should be done, and can be done at the very same time.

When having these test done, examination for RD (rential dysplasia) is often also done - which I personally can only recommend.

In Europe we have as I know, merely one test which is accepted - don't know how it is in other countries.

Hope that answer your questions ...
