I am a new boxer mommy. I have 2 white boxer pups that are 16 wks old. Storm is completly deaf and Skye can only hear high pitched noises. I bought Skye from a breeder for my daughter for Christmas around the 1st week of December. A week later the breeder called me back and asked me if I would be willing to take a deaf one because the people who bought him did not want a "defective dog". Not realing that Skye was losing hearing I agreeded. I brought Storm home and found an obedience trainer who would work with me and teach me to sign with Storm.
When doing our homework with both pups noticed that Skye was watching more than listening took him to vet and realized he also was becoming deaf. I also have a 12yr old cocker Charlie who is blind and a 9yr cocker Taxi. A cat Jazzman who is 1.
I live in Tennessee. I have never had a boxer before and I would welcome any advice on any and everything. Does any one else have a deaf boxer? Is there any thing I should be careful of? watch for?
