Question

Baby's Got Blue Eyes
My family recently acquired a Boston Terrier.  She has blue eyes and I have read that blue eyes may indicate she could have problems with her vision and or hearing.  Currently she does not have any problems and has passed her initial vet check up.  Are deafness and or blindness something that we should expect as she ages or if she doesn't have it now she probably won't develop it outside of normal aging.

Hi Brian, I understand your concern about the blue eyes in your Boston.
It's considered a fault in conformation classes and Show Standards.
I sure hope you don't have future problems.  Many blue eyed Bostons live healthy and well.
