Lilly	Town: Karratha, Western Australia Deaf dog: Lilly is a 6 month old Staffy X Ridgeback. We bought Lilly from a litter of 8 pups of which 2 were deaf. We realized she was deaf very soon after she came to our home. There is no way we would give her back. I think we are really blessed. Lilly loves everyone especially other dogs. She has been bitten many times but keeps going back for more. Human companions: Carol, Ross and Kym Email: carolwakely@yahoo.com.au
Ned	Town: Kununurra, Western Australia Deaf dog: Ned is a 10 week old Blue Heeler. My partner and I always wanted to have a deaf puppy so we told our Vet to contact us if she hears about a deaf puppy. Two weeks ago a guy called around and gave us the puppy. We have already taught him a couple of signs and we are very pleased to say he knows the signs. He is a really intelligent puppy and we look forward to teaching him more signs. Our female Blue Heeler accepted Ned very well and she is like a mother and bosses him around. Human companions: Carol Chittleborough and Glenn Teeuw (also deaf) Other pets: A female 8 year old Blue Heeler. Email: carolchittleborough22@msn.com
Bandit with his best friend, Tody the Beagle	Town: Perth, Western Australia Deaf dog: Bandit, a 2 year old blue heeler, was initially rescued from a local pound to be recruited for Australian Quarantine Services as an active dog. Due to his deafness he was not accepted into the program. "I fell in love with him and decided to train him myself. He is a very clever and quick learning dog. He is now being trained to be a Truffle Detector Dog, so that will be his new venture in life starting in winter." Human companions: Lexy Martin Email: chloedog@start.com.au

	Town: Dunsborough, Western Australia Deaf dog: Matilda (Tilly) is a Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog). "We bought Matilda in Corowa, at 6 weeks old. We found out she was deaf at 3 months. She is very smart little girl but cheeky and barks like you wouldn't believe!" She knows lots of signs, is very smart and faithful, and loves life! Human companions: Meg Varndell and her boyfriend. Other pets: her Border Collie Companion May. Email: nagem_v@hotmail.com

Diesel	Town: Rockingham, Western Australia Deaf dog: Diesel is a 5 year old (17 months in the picture) Australian Cattle Dog. "Diesel is absolutely gorgeous - I fell in love with him at first site at K9 Rescue (a dog rescue organisation) where I volunteer. He knows quite a few signs and is still learning more - the hard part is making them up! He is a very friendly, loving dog." Human companions: Kendall, Carl, Layla and Asha.
