| Alot of white markings CAN indicate a problem with vision and/or hearing - however - not all dogs with alot of white markings will be deaf or blind.
Have the sire/dam been tested for any genetic problems? Have you seen the sire and dam (or at least the dam)? Have you asked the breeder about deafness and whether or not the puppies have been tested (or if any puppy from the breeder is deaf)? Please email me if you need any information! I know of a "breeder" that sells puppies with alot of white markings and they are known to produce deaf puppies (in deplorable conditions) - I'd be happy to discuss this with you privately. Kristen |
| It's hard to say from your description- I beleive that a mostly or all white head, along with both blue eyes are genetic markers for deafness TENDENCIES not 100% ever, of course. I don't remember reading anything about a specific back color being a problem. Does your pup have either of these traits?
Did you check to make sure your pups parents have their hearing certified? Of course- talk to your breeder about your concerns. If they brush you off, you probably have a problem. Deafness is a legitimite concern, and your breeder should take your concerns seriously. If you are worried, try some hearing tests on your pup, when you go see your breeder. Perhaps someone else has some more concrete ideas on deafness testing.... Karen  |
