    Do you think the color of a dog effects the ability of a dogs performance in certain climates or temperatures?

    Yeah Fonzie something else. We should have a poll up and vote what we think he is : Fed , AmBully, Game Dogman just messing with us, kid with an AmStaff, gothic chic, or alter ego of another participant here.

    Color means nothing but remember hearing that the black ones tire quicker. This is bs and was said by a old stubborn man stuck in his ways but still a belief believed by some and not just with APBT. I forget which facts they use but they twist some shit around or really in their heart of hearts believe because it makes sense simpleton to simpleton.

    I think he's probably just basing that off of the white dog in his pic. When dog barks for another biscuit he considers it stomach weakness and blames it on the white part but when it pulls him around on leash he attributes this deep dead game trait to the brindle pArt because that's the Colby part of the dog. Fonzie should start his own bloodline.

    Yes in some cases and instances

    Congenital deafness has been reported for approximately 85 breeds, with the list growing at a regular rate (see list); it can potentially appear in any breed but especially those with white pigmentation. Deafness may have been long-established in a breed but kept hidden from outsiders to protect reputations. The disorder is usually associated with pigmentation patterns, where the presence of white in the hair coat increases the likelihood of deafness. Two pigmentation genes in particular are often associated with deafness in dogs: the merle gene (seen in the collie, Shetland Sheepdog, Dappled Dachshund, Harlequin Great Dane, American Foxhound, Old English Sheepdog, and Norwegian Dunkerhound among others) and the piebald gene (Bull Terrier, Samoyed, Greyhound, Great Pyrenees, Sealyham Terrier, Beagle, Bulldog, Dalmatian, English Setter). However, not all breeds with these genes have been reported to be affected. The deafness, which usually develops in the first few weeks after birth while the ear canal is still closed, usually results from the degeneration of part of the blood supply to the cochlea (the stria vascularis). The nerve cells of the cochlea subsequently die and permanent deafness results. The cause of the vascular degeneration is not known, but appears to be associated with the absence of pigment producing cells (melanocytes) in the blood vessels. All of the function of these cells are not known, but one role is to maintain high potassium concentrations in the fluid (endolymph) surrounding the hair cells of the cochlea; these pigment cells are critical for survival of the stria. Deafness in the Doberman, which is also accompanied by vestibular (balance) disturbance, results from a different mechanism, where hair cell death is not the result of degeneration of the stria but is instead the primary cause. Deafness may also occur later in life in dogs from other causes such as toxicities, infections, or injuries, or due to aging (presbycusis); these forms of deafness almost never have a genetic cause in animals and thus do not present a concern in breeding decisions.
