mally 832 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I remember taking a mates full litter of Dalmation pups to a vets at cambridge to have there hearing tested, they put a small probes above each ear and one on the forehead all linked to a laptop to test them. Thankfully all of them were ok. I think it cost my mate £25 per pup Quote Link to post
birddog 1,354 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 have you read Phil Lloyds book, he had a wee collie x that was deaf Quote Link to post
CityHunter.uK 12 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I would suggest using a sense such as feel a vibrating pager or your gf's bullet if its wireless operation should do the trick. Attach to the collar and do normal recall training but instead of the audible command press your button and get the vibration as the command. This method should stop you requiring the dog to see you to determine hand signals etc. 2 Quote Link to post

pinguu 169 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Im tempted to put the time in and try running him, just need to find some land later on not been in toddy long Quote Link to post
bigdaz 688 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I don't say this lightly mate, but take the pup back to the breeder it's his responsibility, go and source another pup, it's hard enough getting a lurcher to an acceptable standard without a drawback like deafness. 4 Quote Link to post
