Many years ago, I fostered a deaf Bulldog. I would like to foster a deaf Rottweiler or maybe a Boxer in the future.

It looks like deafness hit some breeds more than others. It seems like there are a lot of deafness gene in Australian Shepard dogs, but not many of them among Bernese Mountain Dogs.

I wish there was statistic somewhere that shows which breeds are likely to be deaf than others.

I'm sure I can try to google it up, but curious if there was any statistics that would be of interest.
