Where could i rehome a deaf pup?

Question

My uncle recently bred a litter of Austraian cattle dogs and one of the pups are deaf. We wont let her go just anywhere so does anyone know what the best option is ie where she can be rehomed with someone that she will be with for life?

Thanks for all your answers but my uncle doesnt want to advertise her with the rest of the pups because he obviously doesnt want any money for her, just a loving permanent home who know what to expect with a deaf pup

Answer 1

We would take her on would go to a loving home with another dog golden retriever who is eight years old and a very loving dog herself

Answer 2

there are rescue centres with homes waiting for deaf puppies. People who already have a deaf dog and trained it with sign language will be confident about taking on another dog. Or someone with a dog who can hear will take her on because she will watch the other dog to uinderstand what is needed. You need to train them with hand signals which isn't hard to do. If I knew where you were in the world I might be able to direct you somewhere. May I ask if it is a hereditary problem within the breed and if so, did your father have the parent stock tested?

Answer 3

you need to be caerfull what you are doing or if you make it known you wont get anyone to buy your pup just incase they breed and they end up with a deaf pup you need to advertise that pup at a lower price and say he is deaf dont give it away there are people out ther would pay a little less and give that pup a good home take care reg breeder

I had a deaf husky-bouvier dog from puppy to twelve years when he died. He was the best dog I ever had. He learned hand signs for sit, stay, come, go etc. He barked to come in to the house (it was a funny bark). He was the only dog I ever saw that would look at what you pointed at and not your finger. He was so smart and trainable that I thought he'd make a movie star because you could teach him anything. I would keep the dog. Your the best one to have patience for it and this way you can be sure it's spayed so this trait isn't passed on. If you keep it your patience will be rewarded.

Answer 5

Hi! Sorry to hear about your pup being deaf. I lost a rescued Shih-Tzu last Nov ,we had her for @8yrs.At the end of her life she was blind and deaf. But managed quite beautifully.
Anywho,a great site to go to for finding a home for your furbaby , no matter where you live, is: www.petfinders.com
Best Wishes

Answer 6

You can contact the cattle dog rescue groups. They may be able to help you find a good home for her. You probably will not get any money for her, but finding a good, permanent home is more important.

Answer 7

You should find someone who can devote all their time to the pup. A lot of elderly people who have nothing else to do, take care of dogs. You should look for an elderly person who might want her, that's what I would do.

Answer 8

Advertise her... is he a proper breeder? Surely he must have a waiting list if he is? If not put an advert in the local paper, vet surgerys and dogs homes.

Answer 9

the best thing to do is advertise her & make sure you say about her being deaf, just advertise her the same way the othes get advertised. she will find a good home

Answer 10

You screen VERY carefully, or keep the puppy. That is what good breeders do. The pup is your responsibility, so if a good home cannot be found right away, you must keep it.
