 Luke Sky Walker |
Town: Staines, Middlesex Deaf dog: Luke was one of the puppy's in the Disney film 102 Dalmatians. Nobody wanted him and the dog trainer just wanted a good home for him. He is VERY affectionate and gets on well with our other two hearing dogs. His best pal is Dotty our other hearing Dalmatian. She is very spotty. Although it was hard going at first Luke is growing into a smashing little boy, he is handsome, full of energy and we love him to bits. He lives with us in a sheltered housing scheme for older people so he has 35 adopted grannies and grandpas who think he is great! Human companions: Sue (Mummy) & Gary (Daddy).

Town: Hastings, East Sussex Deaf dog: Cleo was rescued 6 months ago by a friend, but on discovering that she was deaf my friend decided she could no longer keep her (she had already lost one dog on the road!) I have another Lurcher, Shadow, who has a crushed skull due to early mistreatment and who I have had for 2 years. The two get on very well and after only four weeks she uses him to know what she is being asked to do. She is very affectionate and is not at all scared of new people. Both the dogs are great with my horse and come out on rides with me. Human companions: Trevor, Mary & Lucy Other pets: Shadow(dog) & Ted (horse) Email: lulu@cloudcuckooland.co.uk |

Town: Sevenoaks, Kent Deaf dog: Bailey was found abandoned on the M1 in North England and found in an appalling state - thin and with eyes so infected they were completely closed. Luckily for her, 'Daneline' one of the country's Great Dane rescue organisations found her a home with us! Her 'packmates' are two retired greyhounds and three kids! I am using her training as a case study for my HND/Degree in Canine Psychology so am keeping a journal which I hope to post on the net for anyone to check out. She's only been with us a few days, but we simply cannot imagine a time without her - past, present or future.... UPDATE!! Bailey has been with us now for 10 months and has achieved a very good level of training. She has also shown a remarkable talent for tracking so she has started search training! Who says deaf dogs are a problem? This one may end up being of value to the community! Bailey now has one retired greyhound housemate (Buffy), plus temporary housemates in the form of the occasional fostered Great Dane living with us while waiting for permanent homes! Human companions: Jaq Bunn - 1 Alpha Bitch (ME!), two boys aged 15 & 11, one girl aged 9. Other pets: 2 retired greyhounds - Bart aged 7, Buffy aged 4 Email: jaq@funsize.net |

Town: St Leonards on Sea
Sussex Deaf dogs: Yoda Yoda is a 9 week English Bull Terrier. "I was looking for another dog as company for Eros who is a Rottweiler x Rhodesian Ridgeback. He was advertised in the local paper, when I saw that he was deaf I felt I should have him as I know I will love him just as much as a hearing dog. So far he has fitted in really well and is already responding to a sign for come. He is getting on brilliantly with Eros and they play together really well, if anything Yoda is the boss already even though Eros is about four times as big!!
