Did they rescue him or something?
he is a smooch no he wasn't rescued, they bought him from a breeder in Florida (they're in Calgary) he's been sick since he got off the plane poor guy. The breeder didn't say anything to them about him being sick or deaf (they pretended they didn't know anything) but by the time they got him they fell in love and it was too hard to send him back. They have the means to get him the medical treatment that he needed and I think he's in the best possible place. He's honestly the best dog...he's so good and quiet (minus the snoring).

Maybe its common to the breed? well apparently he's albino and albino dogs in general tend to have health problems especially deafness, something about the ear canal hairs not having any pigment and not being able to carry the sounds through...although I'm not sure that's what the problem is with him
