I ended up at the DCA site anyway, and they actually state that only bilaterally hearing Dals should be bred. (So that negates my earlier comment!) Dr. Strains research has shown that there would be fewer deaf Dals breeding bi x bi than there would be breeding bi x uni.

Interestingly, though, the deafness statistics in Dals is much lower than Matt's projections for Boxers. 22% of Dals are unilaterally deaf, 8% bilaterally deaf, for a total of 30% of all Dalmatians deaf.

Also, Matt, you wrote,
Quote:
That people would make 44.08 percent of all boxers deaf, 41.34% of them white.
By which I think you mean that 41.34% of all Boxers are both deaf and white - not that 41.34% of the deaf Boxers are white, correct?
