What breed of dog with the anatomy of ear would worst hearing?
There isn't a breed with "bad hearing", but some some breeds are prone to have hearing problems or deafness. These breeds are: Dalmatians, Bull terriers, and English setters. Because deafness can be in these breeds genes, it's particularly important to buy from a breeder that does genetic testing on their dogs, and not from pet stores. Any breed of dog with untreated ear infections can also lose their hearing, so it's important to have a dog treated promptly when you notice a problem.

Are dogs deaf?
== == It depends on the chances. If you have a deaf dog and another deaf dog mate; then they have a bigger chance at the puppies being deaf also. If you have a deaf dog and a hearing dog; it's probably more going to be a 50/50. What ever one is dominate. If you have a hearing dog and a hearing dog; the chance of having hearing puppies is going to be a bigger chance then having one with no hearing ------ This is a questions in regards to genetics. I don't really think this question can be answered as deafness being a physical trait like hair color or eye color...an example is a human baby is not always born deaf because of the parents and deaf human babies can be born to 'normal' parents. Certain breeds have a higher chance of being deaf than others; however, deafness is a condition in which has no limit to dog breed. One should ask the question, "Why is this dog deaf?" One popular example is homozygous dogs (ie merle-to-merle in herding and other merle colored dogs). These should not be bred because the chance of a totally 'normal' litter is not high. Deafness is only one outcome to this genetics problem and other problems can rear their heads if litters are born, such as blindness due to abnormalities of the eyes, etc. Deaf dogs can be born by fluke, for lack of better words, to correct, normal parents,and to the most responsible breeders, but they still should not be bred. The only dogs that should be bred are those of healthy lineage and represent their breed to the fullest.
