Every puppy is cute
Every puppy is unique.
Some puppys, however, have something that makes them different.
This is Mia. She is deaf.
Deaf dogs present special challenges, they require patience and a deep understanding of dog psichology and of the way dogs see and understand the world.
On the other hand, because of that handicapped deaf dogs, like blind ones, tend to develop an ever stronger bond with their owners.
We are looking for a very special home for Mia.
Conditions for adoption:
1. MUST have at least one other animal, preferably deaf.
2. Mia will have a family life.
3. Mia will be fed a raw diet (www.rawfed.com)

I had a deaf boxer for years. Deaf dogs are no more difficult to train than ones that hear they must be trained a little differently because of their inability to hear. In my experience deaf dogs usually learn faster because there is no language barrier to get in the way. As a trainer I very often challenge my clients to stop talking to their dogs, after all dogs don’t speak english. With a deaf dog everything must be sight and smell and touch oriented. Since this is the way dogs each each other, it actually works better than screaming commands at them in a language they do not understand. A little extra patience is required, but if you are a patient person, you are more than capable of training a deaf dog. You will find the bond you form will be stronger because you have to connect with a dog who can not hear on a completely different level than one who can.
I offer training advice to anyone who finds it in their heart to take on this challenge and give this dog a home. Believe me you will not regret it.
I agree Janette, you are right on the money! Just beaware, if you are dealing with a deaf dog, if there is some reason you need to yell to them (danger, etc..) they cant hear you so be very careful!! Plus, if you “sneak up on them” in other words..come up from the backside of a deaf dog, they can startle easily..hopefully they arent agressive when startled!! (I worked with a completely white pitbull named Bola, she would startle easily and therefore, you could never come at her from the backside or you might get a face full of barks, then relieved kissey poos=D
Mia will be more than fine. And no, it doesn’t take any special treatment compared to a dog that isn’t deaf. I have one, he’s almost 7 years old now, my first pet, now I own 3 dogs & 4 cats. We weren’t told he’s deaf, we just noticed from the first day, while he was asleep. But ppl tend to think I’m a liar, because the dog is so friendly & active u really can’t tell a difference. And the sign training, it’s absolutely piece of cake, since the dog is so visually focused to you. So I do believe training a deaf dog is a lot easier than a normal one. The ONLY disadvantage: you can’t call him, so, if you don’t live in a house with yard, when you walk him, you can’t let him loose or he might get lost. But apart from that, they r adoring, loving creatures, paying attention to every smallest vibrations and smell they pick up, so that makes them super-dogs 🙂 Whoever gets the honor of adopting this wonderful young sweetheart will be a lucky person, for sure, overwhelmed by their love and friendliness
What a beautiful puppy Mia is! With the right owner she will have a fine and happy life. She looks very alert and will soon pick up hand signals and she will naturally respond to love and hugs.
What happened with this little cutie. Did she find a home?
