called...since then she's been with me and we adore her!! She's a
real beauty and a loving dog. She's my big baby!! Zoolou I love you

Deaf dog: Becky is a 2 year old Boston Terrier. We purchased
Becky when she was 12 weeks old. Unaware that she was bilaterally
deaf. We figured it out later that night. She has been such a joy
to own. She is smart, loving, clownlike... I could not imagine life
without her. It is sad to know that many puppies are put to sleep
simply because their deaf. Becky will be soon celebrating her 2nd
Birthday. I look forward to many birthdays with her. Having a deaf
Boston Terrier has really opened my heart and eyes. Health testing
Boston Terriers (BAER, CERF, JVC, OFA-Patellas...!) prior to breeding
will greatly reduce many of the problems being seen with this beautiful
breed -health wise. Please rescue! There are many dogs and cats
eagerly awaiting a forever home! If you plan on purchasing a puppy,
please do so from a reputable breeder who health tests!

Deaf dog: Attya is a Lleuwelyn Setter. We adopted her from
a no kill shelter, we only found out she was deaf once we got her
home. At first I was unsure about the situation, but within 1 week
all my
doubts about myself adapting to a deaf dog vanished. She is my third
dog in 23 years and she is fantastic, smart, clean, sweet and playful.
WE LUV HER

Deaf dog: Jack Bauer is a 4 1/2 month old Nova Scotia Duck
Tolling Retriever. I'm only in the early stages of training my little
guy. So far he has learned to sit, lie down, come, & come for
hugs. We're presently working on stay & stand up. He is full
of life & very lovable. He plays very well with other dogs both
big & small & enjoys daily runs in the park. He was the
only deaf puppy in the litter & the breeder told me they only
had one other deaf puppy 15 years ago. Even though we didn't know
he was deaf at the time we adopted him, we all love him and would
never consider giving him back. We're hoping that the cats will
some day learn to love him too. The only negatives are his excessive
barking at times & biting when he gets all wound up. I just
bought a citronella collar that is controlling the barking &
am hoping the biting problem will cease as he gets older. For the
time being we hold his mouth closed & shake our heads letting
him know it's not acceptable behaviour.

borduas patch painted beauty

Town: St-Amable, Quebec
Deaf dog: patch est une magnifique danois harlequin que nous
avons adoptie dernierement.c`est mon premier chien sourd et j`avoue
que cela me fesait un peu peur...l`inconnu...vous savez... mais je
suis agreablement surprise de voir a quel point cela est facile avec
elle.c`est une chienne tres intelligente et qui apprend vraiment vite.pour
son education ce n`est pas plus difficile qu`avec un chien qui entend.sauf
que j`utilise des signes bien sur.et elle comprend aussi bien que
si elle entendait.vous ne vous rendriez probablement pas compte qu`elle
est sourde. c`est un chiot normal, plein de vie et d`amour, qu`elle
nous donne sans compter. et je vous avoue que je trouve parfois agriable
qu`elle soit sourde...elle n`est pas derangie par le bruit quand elle
dort.quelqu`un frappe a la porte, elle ne jappe pas,les enfants jouent
et crient...elle demeure calme malgre tout. et les enfants , elle
les adore!

Deaf dog: Keiko is an English Setter who we received from a breeder
that wanted to put her to sleep because she was deaf. We took her to
school (she graduated 3rd out of 10 hearing dogs) - she now knows 12-15
signs, however we are having a hard time with her these days - she won't
look at us, let us pet her, all she does is run around all day. She
has started to eat our walls - we are yet to catch her doing this, to
teach her otherwise. Anyone who has advice, please help!
Human companions: Christine Nadeau and my husband
Other pets: Jack, the 1 year old bassethound - Fitz our cat -
that rules the house
