Sue, this is exactly what I was thinking. I believe it was Nancy that said that it is the "extreme white" that are born with problems (I assume she is talking about deafness)...well, I would venture to say that Maltese, Bichons, Westies are all "extreme white". I wonder if breeders of these dogs realize that their dogs are doomed to deafness.
