💨 Abstract

White dogs, particularly those with blue eyes and a predominantly white coat, have a higher risk of congenital deafness due to a lack of melanocytes in their inner ears. This condition is commonly seen in Dalmatians, Bull Terriers, and Australian Cattle Dogs. Breeders and veterinarians often recommend hearing tests to detect any hearing impairments early on.
