Say Hi to our new family member!
Well guys, I really did not think that it would happen so soon after our beloved Bikkel passed, but yesterday we adopted this 10 week old guy who is currently finishing off shredding the 2nd dishtowel that he has managed to snatch from the kitchen. We decided to take him because he is deaf and he had already
been returned after 2 days by the previous owner and we know that we can give
him the loving home that he deserves. I
know that we have a hard slog ahead of us and that I’ll be coming on here to
ask for your help and tips, but I have already spent hours on the internet
checking about training of deaf dogs, so the regime started this morning and
amazingly he is already responding to the sit command by only using a hand
signal (with the help of a cookie or two!!)

We still have no name for him (any suggestions welcome,
except Beethoven which was what the 2 day owner called him). I know it doesn't matter for him, but a dog
needs a name – right? Will keep you posted!

Congrats to you guys!
He looks like a Teddy to me...
You and that pup are quite fortunate to have found each other. I see a beautiful relationship on the horizon
