Deaf Dog Questionnaire

So many people I run into are fascinated about Oscar's deafness, that I have decided to write a book about our experiences. It's almost complete, and it includes info about his training, health issues and funny stories about our resident knucklehead. :D

In putting this together, I attributed a few of his behaviors to deafness, but realized that I really have nothing to compare my assumptions to, since Oscar is the only deaf sheepdog I've ever met. I can compare him to our first OES, Quincy, which helps with the breed and their foibles, but not to other deaf sheepdogs.

To garner more info, and to see if any of my assumptions are in the ballpark, I have put together a questionnaire (Word document) regarding the behaviors of deaf sheepdogs, or just deaf dogs in general.

If any of you currently have or have had a deaf dog in the past, and wouldn't mind taking a few minutes to fill out a questionnaire, just PM me with your e-mail address and I would be happy to send one along.

Thank you for your help!

I can't help, but think that your book is a wonderful thing to do. Hopefully it will aid many "parents of hearing impaired 4 legged children".
Best of luck with your book, I too look forward to reading it.....Kathy
I cannot help either but want to say Congrats on the book!! It will help a lot of people and their pets!! Good for you!
Thanks for the support! Hopefully, some publisher will find this topic as riveting as we do........... :D

I just don't want the fame to go to Oscar's head.

I want Oscar to autograph my copy :D
I have been through the whole process of writing and publishing a book. I will be glad to share information and experiences with you if you want to PM me. It was a great experience and I am getting ready to do it again.
