Sounds like a good deal.

I'd love to own a deaf rescued dog one day. Seeing as how there are so many deaf border collies and aussies (being my all time favorite breeds), I'll definately go for one someday. You'll just need to be really strict with training and find a good trainer who's dealt with deaf dogs before. I read about a couple who had a deaf aussie and taught it to come when the collar vibrated. They had a little film canister with some sort of gadgit in there. It was a good idea....come will probably be the most important command you teach a deaf dog. Good luck!
