I lost my 16 1/2 yr old Kady last March and she didn't have any eyes so I have experience with blind dogs but not with a puppy that was born blind. Does anyone have any helpful info for me especially with housebreaking. She is using the litter box and going outside but I am picking her up and putting her in the appropriate place- I think I'm the one that is trained and not her but 8 weeks old is a little to early anyway. Also need help with a name. The owner-breeder named her Angel but I might rename her.  |
How about Faith or even Precious
