I know there's lot deafies pet out there, I'm curious if one of you guys ever owned or wanted to have a deaf pet? If u owned it once or anything like that, I want to know what is it like to have deaf pet... I know 18% of white fur Boxer is deaf, from what I see on Animal Planet, "Dogs 101" I don't mind to have one, I think it'd be so awesome!

yeah I've always wondered what's like to have deaf pets. Please share your experience, guys! I'm curious

I used to have a deaf dog, Luke, from my good friend's rescue. Boy, it was rewarding yet difficult. Luke was an aussie with very light blue eyes, very beautiful. He was difficult because he was full of energy and tended to run off (could not call him back because he could not hear). We had to RUN after him to get his attention. If he was napping, he could get startled easily when you pet him...not sure if it was due to his past or his inability to hear us approaching him. Luke knew few signs such as sit, bedtime, eat, play, no, good boy (he LOVED that one! ), i love you, and stop.

My good friend is deaf and she runs a non for profit animal rescue. She usually rescues deaf animals, mostly dogs. She even had deaf rabbit, ferrets, etc. She is also a proud owner of two deaf white pitbulls (they are DARLINGS!).

You should try owning a deaf pet.

Ahh that's AWESOME!!!!! If you are still in contact with your friend, any chance I might get contact info? For the future of course when I have money and time to own a pet, I'd love to have first pet that is deaf...

I gotta admit I know a friend that owns white deaf cat, Brownie... she's 3-legged, cute cat! But never really got the chance to interacts and see what it is like.

I haven't had any deaf pets, but I know of a couple people that have them. As for my dogs, they do know some of the signs.

Meg, absolutely. She just joined DP recently yay!!

Well.. I always want to have deaf cats but hard to find  them. I still have hearing cat and dog both at home.
