Boston Terrier Markings and Deafness?

by Doreen

I recently bought a 10 month old BT. She is evenly colored white and brindle. She has white ears with dark spots? Is this acceptable to her breed? Would this make her more prone to deafness? She is very alert and healthy.

Not sure on chances but what I can tell you is I have a black and white that turns 6months this weekend who is deaf and I have to tell you. It really doesn't affect her a great deal! She is to advanced for puppy classes already. She is very aware of her surroundings and picks up on sign language so quickly that I can train her for a new command in 30 minutes. Unless I tell people she is deaf people have no idea! I wouldn't worry about it. The joke is she listens better then any dog that can hear haha
