Some puppies are born deaf. They may have been exposed to some toxin or infection before birth, or it may be congenital deafness. It appears more often in dogs with white fur and skin, and it can be associated with inadequate blood supply to the cochlea while the ears are still closed. You can use a deaf dog’s remaining senses to lead them. Your deaf puppy can play, bond with you, and enjoy a good walk just as much as any hearing dog!
