Is there a way for the testing of deafness? I breed Australian Cattle dogs and had an Oops litter, 1 had full hearing, 2 were Unilateral hearing and 1 was completely deaf. They come from 2 hearing parents. I do the BAER hearing test at 6 to 7 weeks. I know deafness runs in dams line just from my research of her parentage. I am completely honest with my puppy buyers and they know exactly what they are getting. I believe honesty is the best policy. If there was a way to detect the hearing as there is with the other genetic problems (PLL, PRA, RCD4) that would be awesome!!!
