∙ 14y ago
The most common breeds used for visually impaired and blind people are, in order of most popular:
- Golden Retriever
- Labrador
- German Shepherd (Alsatian)
- Border Collie
These are quick learners, they are extremely loyal and very intelligent, which is why they make good guide dogs.
Some blind charities have found that cross-breeding the Golden Retriever and Labrador produces the best guide dog, called the Golden Labrador or the Golden Retriever Lab Hybrid, because they have the qualities of both dogs.

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.

Do animals with big ears hear better than those with small ears?
Not usually. It depends on the breed, though. Because most small dogs have flappy ears, their hearing is generally impaired compared to their pointy eared cusins. Dogs whos ears sort of go up then flop, as well as get pulled back against the head ((like a gray hound)) usually have the best hearing. Dog's with pointy ears that stick straight up are second in line, and dogs who have floppy ears are usually deaf compared to other breeds.
