White pups were killed in many breeds due to their propensity for deafness and whatnot. I have a deaf white dog now. :0) And, my other Chihuahua mix is part Boxer. Funny, 5 lb Boxer.
He's adorable. Is he named Chico (Spanish) or Chico (Marx)?

He is adoreable. What a sweetie he is. Love those white ones.
When I worked the animal shelter, we had two white boxers that came in at diff. times. We fell in love with the first and no body wanted her for the longest time. I kept her around and eventually she was adopted and I see her around town.
The other one was sent to PA or CT I think. Both were really sweet loving dogs and loved to box. STRONG! Geesh.

I suppose the mommy was the Boxer? LOL, I don't think it would have worked any other way!
He's not deaf, thank God. He was tested for both deafness and blindness.
The breeder he came from once had a dog that was deaf, and since that one she teaches all her dog sign language. Chico already knows sign language for "sit" and "stop". He does sit every time, stop he'll do when he feels like it, LOL!
I do think its a good idea to teach a dog sign language. You never know when you might need to communicate and can't with language. Its pretty easy, too, just add it in with language as you are training.
Thanks,everyone for the nice comments. I wish you guys could see him in person, the pictures don't do his cuteness justice, LOL!
