I took on a deaf 5 year old yorkie that could not hear. She was in a house with 13 other dogs and every time a dog brushed by her she would turn quickly to see who it was and the all the dogs would attack her. She was very scared when I got her because I had 2 yorkies and she was always on her guard. although mine never tried to hurt her it took 6 months for her to get over her fear. For different reasons I ended up having 9 yorkies in my home(loved and played with them all every day)and you probably guessed it, she ruled. She was the best dog ever. So time and patience is all this dog needs. Good luck |
