Boxer Buddy
OK, I'm not too experienced with deaf boxers so I wanted to do some research first. My husband and I recently bought a puppy (pick him up next week). We looked for quite some time into getting another boxer and we found the perfect little guy..
now here's my delema.... our breeder's litter has one deaf puppy, for whom they haven't found a home for yet. Now I know that one boxer puppy is a handful, nevermind 2 of them. But my heart is bleeding for this poor little guy that nobody seems to want (except us!!) and I guess I figured that since we have an older boxer plus his littermate that it might make it easier on him. I want to adopt this puppy so badly but I don't want to make a decision without knowing what I'm geting into since I'm not experienced with dogs with hearing loss.
Any advice that anyone has is GREATLY appreciated, ecpecially from those with deaf boxers. (BTW- we do have a fenced in yard and plan on obedience classes) Thank you so much in advance.
