Town: Washburn, Wisconsin Deaf dog: Hunter is a 12 week old English Setter. He is an Old Hemlock Setter.He was intended to be a breeder. As a beautiful loving and intelligent pup I decided to rescue what would otherwise have been a culled pup. I am already convinced that he will make a wonderful pet/companion,and he plays well with his housemates(a retriever,a springer,and an english toy spaniel). I also have high hopes for him as a field dog,despite the obvious challenges. I intend to use a training collar that offers a vibration mode as well as shock correction. You needent be afraid of these as the gentle vibration mode works with electrodes removed. At 12 weeks Hunter is 90% housetrained and has learned come,sit,down,and stay. I would love to hear from people with setters [deaf] who have been successful in field training. Human companions: Rob L. Ganson, wife, daughter Other pets: Henry, Maggie, Beaker Email: robostang@yahoo.com |

Town: Somerset, Wisconsin Deaf dog: Bear is a 4 month old Boxer. His family says "He is one of the most unique Boxers I have. He has a personality of a royal king. He runs the house. Deaf dogs can be a lot of work, but for the right family they can make a wonderful addition. It is an outrage that people want to put them down just because they are deaf. The breeder I got Bear from was really good. She had a lot of passion and concern that Bear went to the right family and choose us. There are not to many breeders out there like this. If I could, I would resucue all of the deaf Boxers out there. They are one of the best breeds around. I wouldn't give Bear up for the world. He is one of my kids. Bear relys on us and the other Boxers to get him around safe. We also rely on him." Human companions: Dave, Tammie, Jordan, Dante & Jace Zapata Other pets: Junior, KO, Shawdow, Harley - all Boxers Email: Unavailable |

Town: Milwaukee, Wisconsin Deaf dogs: Petey, Hope and Sadie Blue Petey is a 5 year old Dalmatian.

He is extremely hyper, a total love bug and no longer shows any mental signs of the abuse.Petey was our first deaf dog" Hope is a 5 year old Dalmatian. "We were foster parents for Hope.

"Sadie was dumped by the only family she had knows since she was 8 weeks old. We fostered Sadie for several months, then she was adopted to a family but they returned her. We loved her and really didn't want to let her go, so we added yet another to the pack. Sadie has 1 blue eye and is a sassy lady.

Town: Milwaukee, Wisconsin Deaf dog: Bailee Blue is a 4-1/2 year old BC/Aussie/Husky mix. "Bailee Blue was born deaf and rescued in Kansas City at the Animal Haven. She was there for 4 months before I went to visit my sister who worked there. Most of our hand signals are agility based, but we do make it up as we go along. She is very responsive to facial expressions, and like any BC works off of eye contact, herding everything from, cats, other dogs and kids. Bailee is also the biggest camera hound you'd ever meet. She loves posing and extremely patient when having her photo taken. Bailee has matured into a wonderful happy companion (her nickname for the first few years was 'devil dog'). And with being deaf her adaptation to the world hasn't been easy. But for all she's been through, she's one of the sweetest, most socially loving dogs I've ever owned." Human companions: Mom Renee, Dad Peter, Uncle Matt, Aunt Erika & Uncle Derek, Gramp & Gram Bach, and Great Granny Barbara. Other pets: One BC sister named Bayen, who my sister and I raised from pup. My sister's two cats - Cass & Autumn (fantasic playmates). Email: pixe@ren.as |
 Emma |
Town: Oshkosh, Wisconsin Deaf dog: Emma is a white Boxer with one blue eye and one brown eye. She is a wonderful addition to our family! We brought her home knowing she was deaf and we were a little nervous at first. We starting training right away and she picked up on the hand signals with no problem. It's great! We never have to be quiet when she is sleeping or turn the radio down in the car because we are worried about it being too loud for her. She is such a clown, she loves to be around everyone and is very obedient for her age. She sits outside on the porch after school and just waits for the kids to walk by and pet her. One of her favorite activities is frequenting the puppy park. Everyone gets such a kick out of her personality and they are shocked to hear that she is deaf. She's such a good girl! We love her so much and are so glad that she is part of our family. Human companions: Emma has two skin siblings, Mike and Kait and her Mommy and Daddy. Other pets: Brown calico kitty named Boo Email: scollette@ameritech.net |

She is a great companion." Human companions: Mark and Amanda Other pets: One other dog, two cats, two guinea pigs, and a gopher. Email: macdaddymark4@yahoo.com |

Town: Waterloo, Wisconsin Deaf dog: Chloe is a 10 year old Sheltie. "We got Chloe when she was 1-1/2 years old. She was bred as a showdog, but wasn't winning any blue ribbons because she was a bit too tall and her nose was too long. We had Shelties before and wanted another of the same breed. Chloe is not completely deaf, but we want to be able to communicate with her when the need arises. Yes, she is a title holder. She holds the "best in Mom's class" title and the key to my heart." Human companions: Lynn and Joe Sullivan Other pets: None at home at the moment, but periodic grandpuppy visits. Email: lsullivan@mckaynursery.com |
