MYTH # 2
All White Boxers are deaf and are not trainable.
FACT
Although there is a higher incidence of deafness when a Boxer is white (approximately 18% of whites), not all are deaf. Deaf Boxers can be trained using a variety of methods including hand signals, sign language, flashlights and more.
MYTH #3
White Boxers develop more health problems and are sicker than other Boxers.

Because a Boxer is white does not mean that it is going to be unhealthy. No clinical evidence has been recorded showing the White Boxer is at higher risk for health problems.
MYTH #4
White Boxers are rare.
FACT
Approximately 25% of all Boxers are born white. In fact, some of the first foundation dogs for the Boxer breed were white. Since White Boxers do not conform to the breed standard of the Kennel Club, many are euthanized by breeders, totally unnesesary reasons.
MYTH #5
White boxers are often Blind
FACT
It is not common AT ALL for white boxers to be born blind, white boxers have the same sight as any other colour boxer.
MYTH #6
White Boxers are "mean".
FACT
White Boxers are not "mean". Coat color on a Boxer does not affect a Boxer's personality. White Boxers exhibit the same endearing personality traits as their darker counterparts.
