where to find deaf staffy?

Hello

I am profoundly deaf. my first language BSL (British Sign Language) so please excuse my english writing. I like to ask question please. Are only white staffy deaf or other colours can be?

My voice sound is not good. I hope find small deaf staffy as companion so we communicate well signing. I try email some breeder but they offend if I ask if they have any deaf ones. They reply they only have healthy ones, but did not mean offend.

I wonder where can I find deaf staffy? I don't mind if older rescue that already know some signs and good walk on lead or I don't mind start from puppy.

Thanks

Welcome from Iza and me

Hi and welcome from me and my two rescue is probably best as they will be able to give you some good guidence as well.

I would say rescue centers would be your best bet! 

However Ledger was more responsive to hand signals than voice commands when I got him from rescue so it's certainly a method of communication that can be used with any dog

Thank you for answer. The list is very helpful

Do anybody know if only white staffy deaf? or other colours can be? I don't mind colour but I see lot of pictures white staffy deaf for uk. only one time on video deaf lady in america she went to rescue and staffy was red but small white on chest only.

Hi & Welcome from Flo and me

My Flo is deaf, this is due to a TECA operation rather than being born deaf. We rescued her from a dogs home some 2 years ago. She is great with hand signals, the only problem is getting her attention first.

Deaf dogs can come in all colours and the best way to find one is through the many rescue centres though I don't see that you actually need a deaf dog. A hearing dog could help you by alerting you to noises like the door bell etc

hi

what is TECA operation?

I have hearing dog. He is pet not assistance dog so I can have other dog also. He can tell me if door or minicom. He need friend as my parent dog died who he grow up with so he is sad and miss them.

I grow up with many dogs and all hearing. I like to have deaf dog this time then no confusion whose job to tell me when phone ring!

Ah that's cool

TECA = Total Ear Canal Ablation. She had this done by her previous owners due to recurring ear infections. Weather the ear infections could have been treated differently I don't know. She is an adorable girl full of love and the lack of sound doesn't bother her apart from when other off lead dogs sneak up behind her and startle her.

yes it's possible to be both deaf and happy!

Deaf dog to me is no problem and we share deaf in common make special bond. I love my hearing dogs same.

I didn't know about TECA. It only dogs born deaf that mostly white? I read about something pigment thats why white and sometime blue eyes, pink nose and deaf? It can be in Collie and Boxer also.

To be honest I don't know but have just done a quick search and you may well be right

I am excited for the little deaf Staffy that is destined to be rescued by you!

And I am fascinated to hear about whether you end up having a different relationship with him/her than with a hearing dog.

Hi and welcome to the forum from me and the zoo xx

I would echo what's been said for asking around shelters and rehoming centres. Good luck and keep us informed x
