I was told that white dogs are almost always deaf?

That's a common myth, but it's not entirely true! While it’s more common for white dogs, especially those with blue eyes, to have a higher incidence of deafness due to genetic factors, it’s not accurate to say that all or even most white dogs are deaf. This tendency is particularly noted in certain breeds such as Dalmatians. If you’re concerned about a dog's hearing, the best course of action is to consult with a veterinarian who can perform a thorough examination. They can provide you with accurate information and advice on how to care for a dog with hearing issues if that's the case. Is there anything else you'd like to know about dog care or health?
