Dog Pox
Wednesday. 8.29.12 10:17 am
If you know purebred dogs, then you know that certain genetic abnormalities that occur willy nilly in the general dog population are concentrated and more pronounced within certain breeds. One of these pronounced characteristics is that of spotted dogs going deaf. dalmations are, of course, the most susceptible, deafness being the primary health concern of the breed. Additionally, cattle dogs or heelers (who are thought to be crossed with the dalmations at some point in their history) are also know to have many deaf dogs amongst their ranks. The question is why, and do the spots have anything to do with it?

Actually, the spots have everything to do with it. You see, the spots can be thought of as a dog form of chicken pox. The dog is born white or two colored as the case may be and somewhere in their early puppyhood, they start developing spots all over their bodies. If these spots get inside the ears, then deafness can occur. So there you have it, that is why spotted dogs are more likely to be deaf.

So the spots are a...disease?

Wow, that sounds terrible. Breeding dogs specifically so they have a problem...

Although I suppose a lot of domestic animals have suffered the same fate.
