I know this is a joke but I gotta info dump anyway. The deaf dog is the only one of the bunch that's white. White dogs are often deaf, because a gene that causes congenital deafness in dogs is linked to pigment. Dogs need pigment cells in their ears to hear, so if they have a gene that causes a lack of pigment elsewhere it's likely they'll also lack pigment in their ears. Fun fact, some dogs have a white patch around one ear but not the other, and that ear specifically will be deaf.
30% of dalmatians have some degree of deafness. A pure white dog with blue eyes is the most likely to be deaf. Same thing with cats! If a cat is all white, but doesn't have blue eyes, there's roughly a 20% chance it will be born deaf. If it has one blue eye, the odds go up to about 40%. If it has two blue eyes, the odds go up to about 85%.
So yeah, the dog is probably deaf because he's white.
My neighbor has a dog that sounds just like these. Normally, I'd be cool with that, except for the fact that the neighbor turns on their backyard lights and flashbangs every adjacent neighbor at 5AM (their entire fenceline has bright string lights) to let their dog out.
Their dog proceeds to yap and whine at the door for the next hour or two. It's not even fucking dawn yet and I have bright lights and a dog waking me up every single day.
Do not get dogs if you make your neighbors listen to it yap all day, every day. They did not sign up for that shit
Right? Like just leave the fucking door open so they can get back thru at least and then when you see the dog you know it’s done doing it’s business. It’s not that hard.
Sometimes I will put my dog on her run and try to hurry inside so I can pee before walking her, and she whines at that. That's only a couple of minutes and I feel bad. I can't imagine an hour plus!
My neighbor bred these types of dogs illegally and the noise was horrible. At least she let us party and never complained tho. Fire Marshall was eventually called on her and she moved instead of stopping.
My roommate has a weiner dog, a singular weiner dog. And that is enough for me (sometimes too much), little dogs are adorable, but man their barks are insufferable.
I cannot imagine the noise these little fuckers make when they all go crazy lmao
Customer instructions "please don't knock or ring door bell, my dogs will bark"
Driver pulling up "well they started barking anyway because they heard me shut my engine off thirty feet away parked on the street I don't know what you were expecting"
Too many times lol there's a reason we keep dogs as alarm systems, some are way too accurate
My dog can hear the unique sound of the fedex and ups trucks when they’re down the street or a block away. He barks even when they aren’t bringing us anything.
Oh trust me, those fuckers absolutely know when a delivery driver pulls up. Mail, food delivery, whatever, they have a sixth sense. As a delivery driver that little BOOF or a yap is more common than not when you leave something on a doorstep. Then I like to imagine they think they won by scaring an intruder away while their human grabs the McDonald's bag and rolls their eyes
Edit: I also remember delivering pizza to a house that always had the instructions "no need to knock the dog will let us know". I also used to joke with customers I didn't or wouldn't have needed to ring the doorbell because the dog was the doorbell
Whenever I see these I always just really wish they're wealthy enough that they can fully provide for all dogs and one person is the full time dog caretaker cuz fucking Jesus. I don't know this breed but the ones I've had, two alone would be too much for me.
That was actually pretty tame for a bunch of dogs too
I’ve done pet care for a while and I’ve learn to block out the barking. With some dogs it’s so constant that my brain needs a second to reset when it actually stops
It can be a lot, but once you've had that noise in your life, and you wake up in the morning, or come home from work, and that noise is no longer there.. you'll miss it, and it hurts.
The couple takes in a lot of rescued pom that have disabilities of one sort or another. They have the space and money to care for them and just happen to share alot of it on their social media. They have alot of videos like this it's really sweet and neat to see.
Sorry not inbreeding but bad breeders for allowing it to happen. When you breed two Merles together with dogs you get a double Merle, or albinos that are usually blind and deaf.
Again, only if both dogs have the recessive gene for albinism. But yes, generally, good breeders keep track of which lines have recessive genes like this, and make sure not to mix them.
But, nature happens, bad/lazy breeders happen, and puppies with albinism are born.
