Is it true that white dogs are deaf? What are your thoughts?

Are white cats deaf? Are deaf Dalmatians, and what the cause of deafness Dalmatian? Why did I end up with a deaf Boston terrier? What is the most common breeds of dogs deaf? These are the most popular questions that owners ask about the causes of deafness dogs. There are four different types of genetic defects that affect the deaf puppy.
The first error involves gene piebald gene. It is a pigmentation gene that determines the color of the fur of dogs. Increase the amount of white, a dog coat and head increases the likelihood of deafness. The piebald gene is common in the Bull terrier, Boston terrier, Samoyed, Greyhound, Great Pyrenees, Beagle, Bulldog, Jack Russell Terrier, Dalmatian and English Setter. It is still unclear how the genes are transferred. As a Samoyed, a breed all white does not pose any problems in hereditary deafness. Fortunately, there are links between piebald genetic deafness and other special health problems (other than those present in a particular race) they are just healthy dogs that are not heard.
The second instance of hereditary and congenital deafness entails merle genes, especially homozygous merle gene. The Merle gene or dappled light and creates dark areas of color in the coat the dog. The problem arises when two dogs with merle coat gene is rude. In this case, a 25% chance the child will inherit a homozygous merle gene. Homozygous merle puppies are sometimes called "double merle" or "lethal white" kids.
Double Merle puppies will have a large proportion of white on their Coats Merle and some patches. In addition to being deaf, puppies will also be blind, partially blind, with severe organ problems, and allergies and skin problems. Some will not live long, thus nicknamed "lethal white." Not all double merle pups have the whole spectrum of problems that some may be deaf and suffers from allergies or deaf with a slight loss of vision. In this case, the double merle gene causes a wide range of health problems in addition to deafness. Merle breeds affected genes were: Collies, Shetland Sheepdogs, Harlequin Great Danes, dappled Dachshund, American Foxhound and Old English Sheepdog.
A third occurrence of genetic deafness have been discovered in counseling. Counsel even wear a piebald gene, it is believed that a recessive gene causes deafness and it is associated with a predominantly white coat, or head. This recessive gene causes total deafness only offspring, and no partial loss of hearing without any further health problems. Breeds affected by this recessive gene is advice, whippets and Rottweilers.
The fourth type of genetic deafness have been discovered in Doberman Pinscher d. Shropshire Terriers and Dobermans will not carry the merle or piebald genes, but deafness is caused by a simple autosomal recessive gene and is associated with a large amount of white fur. Unfortunately, these dogs also have problems with balance, and they can go to their heads tilted or in circles.
When puppies hit by the double merle gene has a broad range of health problems, there is a common belief that ALL deaf dogs have more health problems. Dalmatians, deaf or not, there may be special problems of race, not because of deafness. It is also a widespread belief that the only white dog can be born deaf, and even common belief is absolutely correct. It is important to know the different characteristics of each genetic defects and strains are affected by this. There is also a higher incidence of deafness in liver spotted Dalmatians Dalmatians and blue eyes. Deaf dogs are white? Are Deaf Dalmatians and what is the reason for Dalmatian deafness? Why did I end up with a Deaf Boston Terrier? What is the most common breeds Deaf? These are the most popular questions that owners ask in regard to the causes of dog Deafness. The four different types of genetic defects that affect the deaf puppies.
The first error is the piebald gene-gene. This is a pigmentation gene that determines the color of the dog's coat. The increasing amount of white in a dog's coat and head increases the likelihood of deafness. The piebald gene is common in Bull Terrier, Boston Terrier, Samoyed, Greyhound, Great Pyrenees, Beagle, Bulldog, Jack Russell Terrier, Dalmatian and Go Setter. It remains unclear how these genes are transferred. As the Samoyed, the white race, not pose any problems with hereditary deafness. Fortunately, there are no genetic links piebald Between Deafness and other special health problems (other than those that exist in a particular race) they are healthy dogs who just can not hear.
The second instance of hereditary and congenital deafness entails merle genes, especially homozygous merle gene. The Merle gene creates or dappled light and dark areas of color in the dog's coat. Trouble arises when two dogs fur Merle gene is bred. In this case there is a 25% chance that the offspring inherit homozygous with Merle gene. These puppies are homozygous merle also called "Double Merle" or "lethal white" kids.
Double Merle pups will have large amounts of white in their coat and some Merle patches. Being deaf in addition to these pups have gray snapper fish be blind, partially blind, has severe organ problems, and allergies and skin problems. Some will not live long, thus nicknamed "lethal white." Not all double merle pups have the whole spectrum of problems that some people have allergies and be deaf, with deaf or partial loss of vision. In this case, the double merle gene causes a wide range of health problems in addition to deafness. The breeds affected by Merle genes: Collies, Shetland Sheepdogs, Harlequin Great Danes, dappled Dachshund, American Foxhound and Old Go Sheepdog.
A third occurrence of genetic deafness was discovered in pointers. Even Pointers involves a piebald gene, it is believed that a recessive gene causes deafness and it is not attached to a predominantly white coat, or head. This recessive gene will only have total deafness in babies and no partial hearing loss without additional health problems. Breeds affected by this recessive gene are pointers, whippets and Rottweilers.
A fourth type of genetic deafness was discovered Doberman Pinscher di. Shropshire Terriers and Dobermans not carry the merle or piebald genes, however, deafness is caused by a simple autosomal recessive gene and is not associated with excessive white in the fur. Unfortunately, these dogs also have balance problems and walk with their head tilted or in circles.
As puppies, which are affected by the double gene Merle Has a wide range of health problems, there is a common belief that ALL Deaf dogs have more health problems. Dalmatians, deaf or not, may have specific problems in the breed, not because of deafness. Also it is a widespread belief that only white dogs can be born deaf, and none of these common beliefs are entirely correct. It is important to know the different characteristics of each genetic defects and breeds that are affected by them. There is also a higher incidence of deafness in liver spotted Dalmatians Dalmatians and blue eyes.
