No, why?

A high percentage of Dalmatians are. There is a recessive gene that causes deafness that is found on the same allele as the gene for white coloration, IIRC. My pit/lab who was deaf was white. White German Shepherds also have a high proclivity for deafness and are usually barred by color from service.

Lab/Newfie mix, 2.5 months. Def a getbigger, as she's been taking the fight to the alpha dog. Rescued from a high-kill shelter in Kentucky. Her whole litter was whisked away by our favorite rescue outfit.

Good job man

I think that goes for white kittens with blue eyes too.

Lovely dog, it's good to realize that a dog is more loyal than a woman.
