Meet Our own deaf
Dane  Ambassador
Rocky

Adopted 12/12/08

Sorry I haven't made contact for so long! Merry Christmas....everything is going great:) He is really getting comfortable. He uses the treadmill when I can't take him for a jog. He passed his first test with a visiting dog with flying colors. Rabbits are still a little too interesting for our liking but that should come with time. He is not being vicious.
 
Looking good!! Thank you so much for the pressure free trial:) It has been hard work but seems to be worth every ounce of energy:)

  • Temperament - Rocky has been shuffled around a lot in his 2 years so he is understandably reserved at first. He can be a bit timid sometimes. But once he gets that it is safe, he turns into a big lovebug, and a big playbaby.

We do not know why Rocky's original owners gave him up. Nor why his last owner wanted to give him up. And we do not know what happened in between either. But a nice person arranged to pick Rocky up in Reno, NV and bring him up here to us. Rocky has now had at least 3 owners (including us), and at least 3 names, in his 2 short years on this planet. Rocky loves his "clothes" (his collar) and gets quite excited when you take his "clothes" off. He will nudge you and bug you until you put his "clothes" back on, and will even shove his head into the collar to help. This is interesting, because otherwise he hates people trying to hold him by the collar, and most dogs with this fear will do everything they can to avoid you putting a collar back on them. But Rocky loves wearing his collar. Rocky is a thin dog, which makes him look taller than he is. He has that high fashion model look. We do know who Rocky's original vet was, and were able to get a copy of his original rabies certificate.


We will post additional photos of  Rocky as time goes by, so check back often.
