How would you describe this dog's temperament?
Sunny is Mr. Personality. He is a very bright, happy, alert, curious, smart and sweet puppy. He is also sweet and affectionate. Sunny was given the Baer test by a local dog neurologist who confirmed that he is bilaterally deaf, as we suspected. We have started teaching him hand signs to communicate, such as the obedience sign for "come," thumbs-up sign for "good," and ALS sign for "no," and he is catching on. With the right person or family willing to make the effort to train him using hand signs, he will be a very special pet. He will need a secure fenced yard and will require a leash to keep him safe.
