I am not aware that of any biewers who are affected nor as an issue within our dogs. Best you can do is have the dogs Baer tested.

I can speak from 1st hand experience and tell you that YES, this IS a problem with Biewers--at least with mine. I tell her all the time to stop licking my face and she doesn't listen. I tell her that I didn't make the bed up just for her to nap on and she doesn't listen. I tell her she's not getting any more treats and she follows me around the kitchen anyway. I have therefore drawn the conclusion that clearly she is deaf.
