Have you tested the 2 double merles for their hearing? A lot of University Vet Hospitals will do the testing. I would suggest calling around in your area to see if any vet knows of anyone doing BAER testing. This would rule out the deafness.
I don't know how I missed this thread! I've raised Lethal Whites in the past with and without issues and I'd take little Henry in a heart beat! I'm going to PM a couple of questions to you.
Well Everybody gets their shots and wormed again today. I was goin to take mommy away completley yesterday, but It was COLD lastnight so I put her in with them, so hopefully this morning when I let her out was the last she'll be with them. Dont think she's goin to care too much.LOL Their growin like little weeds, and ROTTEN!!

No, I haven't had them tested, today is goin to be their first Visit to the Vets, Goin to have them looked over and see what he says today. I'm pretty sure the little female has no trouble seeing with the one eye and hearing, she can be across the trailer or yard and hollar for her and she'll come just get'n it... The lil male Henry I'm not so sure about, some days he seems like he does and other days he dont???

Ask your vet about BAER & CERF testing in your area for Henry. Sometimes dog shows will have the CERF testing, but there should be someone in your area that will do both. It would be for the best for Henry if you can determine whether or not there are issues with his sight and hearing. This way, you can place him in the best possible home that is knowledgeable on how to help him with these issues. If he gets placed in a home that is unaware of his possible problems, they might mistreat the poor little fellow.

He's not goin to be let go with just anyone, I'm goin to make sure whoever gets him is well aware and educated on his possible problems, I'd really like to see him go with someone that has experience with dogs with sight and hearing problems, Just in case.
