i've never heard of it in dogs. but something about the combination of white fur and blue eyes in cats causes a genetic mutation that leads to deaf kitties, white cats with brown eyes or the ones with one blue and one brown eye have normal hearing.
"Gnome et Rhône was a major French aircraft engine manufacturer. Between 1914 and 1918 they produced 25,000 of their 9-cylinder Delta and Le Rhône 110 hp (81 kW) rotary designs, while another 75,000 were produced by various licensees, powering the majority of aircraft in the first half of the war on both sides of the conflict."
"With the end of the war the company rapidly diversified, using their factories to produce chassis and engines for the Rolland-Pilain and Piccard-Pictet cars, along with Ansaldo diesel engines, refrigerators, sewing machines and even jackhammers. In 1920 they also introduced their first motorcycle, simply known as the Gnome et Rhône 500 cc."

For dogs, less so, it seems, but still it occurs
