What White Frenchies look like

While you may think that all White Frenchies look the same— this is not the case.

As mentioned earlier, there are a few different variations of White French Bulldogs, with some having colors such as Fawn or Black throughout their coat.

The Role of Color in Hearing

You may be wondering how the color of the coat could affect hearing.

A lack of pigment cells

The reason for this is that these genes are associated with a lack of pigment cells which give the appearance of their coats.

This affects the small hairs in the ear

There are small hairs in the inner ear that are called cilia, and when there is an extreme lack of pigment cells, the cilia may not develop properly, resulting in deafness.

Hearing tests can rule out deafness

If you are interested in a predominantly white French Bulldog or are just concerned about the possibility of your new puppy being deaf, be sure to ask your breeder about performing a BAER test.
