Do White Boxers Go Blind Or Deaf?

While white boxers can go blind or deaf during their lifetime, like any other dog species (accident or illness) about 18% of all white pups born are born deaf in either one of both ears. They do, however, go on to live normal lives with caring families. Deaf boxers can be trained to understand sign language and hand signals. They will need more patience then a normal puppy. White boxers (about 12%) are born blind. However, these statistics are no higher than any other animal that is white, and is thus not limited to white boxers.

Contrary to popular belief, white boxers are not albino. The white coat happens when both parents carry a recessive "white" gene, which will make pups white.
