Hi guys!

Just curious if anyone have any experience with deaf dog.... specifically Jack Russell?

I was working one day, & a friend of mine was showing me a flyer to adopt a deaf dog. I happened to have my Sidekick in handy, so I took a picture of the dog. I sent it to my fiance, & he wanted it SOOO BADLY! All I did was to SHOW him the picture-- not to ask him if we could adopt it! We already have 3 black cats (very friendly & independent cats) :), so this dog is ALL WHITE. It would be awesome to have the dog, but I just wanted to hear from others on their experience with a deaf dog. I know every breeds are different, but just wanted to hear the pros/cons.

We already visited to see the dog, Riley, and MY GOSH he was A D O R A B L E & SMART! He wasn't all hyper and jumping around like a normal Jack Russell. He was so g o o d! The couple, who posted the flyer, works at a vet, so they did something right with Riley when they got him. They already have 3 dogs, 4 cats, so they didn't want Riley to feel left out or others feel left out. They wanted Riley to have a better home with owners focusing on him as much as they can.

Anyway, enuff of me going on and on and on. The owners will be coming by our house to see if our house is adequate enough to suit Riley's needs (fences, ... gee, I have no idea what else?! He doesn't need doorbell flasher! LOL)

Wanna hear your feedbacks!
Thanks! :)
 
forgot to include pics!

Aw cute! But I saw my friend having a deaf cat.. So it should be easier to taking care of a deaf dog because you only need is step your foot on the floor to call him and etc like that, could sign to him to teaching him to learn to understand what word mean for, like "sit", "eat", etc like that... He could understand them...

But I never experience with Jack Russell Terrier, you could ask someone in here who have one...
 
My parents used to have a deaf dalmatian. The biggest struggle was training him because they had 2 dalmatians... a deaf and hearing one... that were both fresh. :(
 
AWWWW! I want your dog! :giggle: He's so cute! I have Jack Russell, female.
 
Cute!!!! :):):)


GOOD LUCK! Just clean up your home and smile when they coming in your house!!!.. Don't forget tell your cats to good behaviors and be nice to them and deaf puppy :giggle:
 
What a cute dog and wow it is deaf too. Wish my dog was deaf as mine is a jack russell too. Tell you one thing they are loyal and very protective of u and ur family so if strangers comes around it can be possessive by staying by ur side and growling like my does but who knows with the one u have since u say it deaf so could be different.

I have a fully fenced area cos my one loves to get out and run down the street.

Can be very damn stubborn at times but also loveable when it suits it mood.

Loves cars and walks. Very active and hyper when excited.

Nusicance at nite time cos want to know everything that happening outside since mine is hearing so wouldnt think ur would be doing this since it is deaf.

Loves it food so be careful how much one feed it.

Hope this helps in a small way.

Awww *melts my heart* He's real cute, I love the color on him too.

Yea Sasha, Jack Russell are very very hyper dogs. I noticed they intend to chew on everything :giggle:

Yeah they sure do loves chewing but so far been lucky with mine as she will only chew her biscuits or bones. Whew!!!
 
I'm sure we will be fine with Riley. He have been getting along so great with the current couple, so we are confident that he will be a great doggie! :)

Thanks for the feedbacks :)
