Honestly, I would take a deaf dog. I mean, you'll always have to leash them, but hello, beagle (Remy doesn't do well off leash at all) and you'll just have to learn hand signals, which Remy knows both verbal and hand signals.

There was a deaf dalmatian on here once and I would have taken her in a heart beat. <3 A lot of my family thought Honda was deaf but they just didn't realize she had selective hearing. Lol
