There are several health problems associated with white-haired dogs including deafness blindness and skin issues.
This type of health problem can be caused by albinism a hereditary condition that affects the skin and coat pigmentation.
Due to a lack of pigment in the inner ear deafness results in a loss of nerve function.
Vision loss occurs when the retina lacks pigment resulting in blindness.
The lack of pigment in the skin makes it more susceptible to sunburns and other problems.
