[QUOTE="donna723, post: 348712, member: 1883"] That's a possibility too! Seemingly dumb question, but are her ears white? I'm not sure about pit bulls but in some breeds a white ear can indicate deafness in that ear. If the outside of the ear is white, the inside hairs are also white including the tiny little hairs inside the ear. For some reason, as the dog matures, if those little inside hairs are white, they tend to die off and fall out and don't function to conduct the sound the same as darker hairs do. They are not born deaf, but they become deaf as they mature. That''s why deafness is very common in breeds like Dalmatians. And I know that in mismarked Bostons, if one or both ears are white, there is a very good chance that they will be deaf in the white ear. [/QUOTE]
