Thanks for the help guys! The websites were incredibly informative, and we've begun working with Scout. He's learning signals for sit, come, and no right now... and doing well.

I've also ordered a book from Amazon, and we talked to the vet.

I was so disheartened to hear that deaf pups are often put to sleep. My vet said he hasn't seen any evidence of increased aggression with them, and that as long as we are patient in training and work with his disabilities he should do well.

What a relief!!!
