Town: Bridgwater, England Deaf dog: Elsa is an 11 year old Jack Russel cross. My dog was from the rspca cat and dogs home in Bristol. she was found as a stray wandering around Bristol. I already had one male jrt and wanted a female. She was just what Ii wanted and I wasn't going to let her deafness put me off. Ii have always trained and worked with dogs so I saw it as an opportunity. I had excellent advice and training from a local trainer, and have taught my dog to respond to hand signals. Sometimes she is more responsive than my hearing dog who just pretends he can't hear! We have taken part in line dancing and demonstrations at local shows. She has a fantastic character and I would not have any problems with taking on another deaf dog. I have had 2 babies since having her and she has been as good as gold with both of them, sometimes quite protective when the cat is around! she is 11 years old and extremely fit and healthy and likes to pick up hedghogs! I wouldn't swap her for any other dog! Human companions: Tracey Phillips, two children and partner Other pets: 1 cat, 2 rats and goldfish Email: craigandtracey@tiscali.o.uk |

Town: Swindon, England Deaf dog: Lucy is white boxer and is our first deaf dog. We were looking for a white female boxer and heard of a litter which had 2. We were aware that one of them was possibly deaf and this made up our minds before going to look at them, that we would have them both - gluttens for punnishement!! So we are now the proud parents of 2 beautiful girls Lucy & Holly. Lucy loves to learn and is often asked to show off in front of everyone at training class. Out of the 2 dogs Lucy is the trouble maker - if you ever see a bit of white flashing past you doing something they shouldn't, you can bet it will be Lucy - Holly her sister just looks at you all innocent (not!!). Human companions: Jo, Dave & Lauren Other pets: Holly, Lucy's sister Email: jolscott@hotmail.com |

Town: Carterton, Oxfordshire,
England Deaf dog: Timone is an 8 week old Jack Russel Terrier. "We knew that he was deaf when we got him and he is so far proving to be a joy. We will be training him with mainly ASL and also some other hand signals. It will be a challenge but a good one and I'm sure he will teach us more than we could teach him." Human companions: Rachel Duncan, her Partner and two children Other pets: Golden labrador, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, pond of fish Email: r.l.duncan@btinternet.com |
