Stupid, stupid man!!!

[Jac]

Agh!!!!!

Just had our electricity meter fixed as it was hanging off the wall. Before I let him get Blued, I asked was he ok with dogs. He said yes as he had dogs himself. Now here comes the good bit............
When he saw Blue he asked me if he was deaf as he knows about boxers and most of the white ones are deaf!!!! My reply, only if he doesnt like what you are saying or wants to be.:lol:
Wasnt I good? Easy seen I'm not well or I would have got on my soap box!

[alexgirl73]

LOL! I'm very proud of your restraint Jac! I've never heard of white boxers being mostly deaf, or have I missed something?

[Jac]

They can be Alex but it is quite rare, although breeders used to say all whites were deaf to justify culling them at birth. The reason for that was because the Kennel Club wont recognise a white boxer as the breed standard states that no more than one third of the body should be white and they couldnt sell white pups for the same money as say brindle or reds.

[alexgirl73]

That's just stupid!!!!! So because they can't sell a white pup for the same money as a brindle or red, they kill it!!!!!! Sick!

[Jac]

They used to. I think a few breeders still do but it's a hard thing to prove.
I really get on my soap box about this. This man shoulld appreciate I'm not well or he would have left with bleeding ears hehe with the verbal ear bashing he would have got.
What really got me was when he said he new about boxers!!! Idiot!!!

[alexgirl73]

You go girl!! LOL!

[Jac]

Oh theres no stopping me when I start!

[Fran]

White ones are my favourite!!

[Jac]

Me too Fran thats why I have had 4. Although I do have a huge soft spot for reds.

[Moli]

Iget wose than that Jac's, because Mollie has a blue eye and a brown eye, I am asked if she is deaf because she is white, and if she is blind in he blue eye!!!:mad:

[Jac]

Yeh I can emagine. Dont you think I was a good girl Moli?

[Moli]

Yeh I can emagine. Dont you think I was a good girl Moli?
Very good, normally you would have given him an ear full!!!:roll: :lol:

[Jac]

Hehe dont think he knows what a narrow eascape he had:-D

[charliebubs]

Well done Jac!!!

I had heard of white cats sometimes being deaf, but not dogs. You learn something new every day on here!!! lol :)

[Moli]

Well done Jac!!!

I had heard of white cats sometimes being deaf, but not dogs. You learn something new every day on here!!! lol :)
Some whites can be deaf, but then so can some coloured Boxers.....Both Molie and Blue suffer from selective deafness!:lol:

Oh how very true!!!!

[dandysmom]

I've heard that odd-eyed white cats are deaf in one ear....... don't know if it's true or an old wives tale....

[Jac]

Hi Dm not sure about that one but it's probably untrue as Moli's Molie has one blue eye and she is not deaf in one ear. (unless she wants to be:lol: )
