I just received a dog that was going to be put to sleep because he is deaf. He is ten weeks old and a Boston Terrier.
I would like to have you help me name him. He will be a husky fellow when grown and don't want a sissy name. Any suggestions???? If anyone has ever worked with a deaf dog I could use some advice. I ordered a book called "living with a deaf dog" so I hope it will help. ( I lost by browser while typing so I hope this doesn't post twice)

How about Keller...a distant relative of Helen Keller.

Bless your heart for taking this baby and the challenge that will go with him! Bostons can be a handfull when they can hear, this one will just take extra lovin'! :)

Samson...Sam for short! :)

How about Max because you will get the maximum amount of love for the minimum amount of effort. My dog lost her hearing about 2 years of age. Not quite the same situation as yours but she and I manage very well. Everything is done by signs and signals. She will be 9 next month and has always been a very happy well adjusted dog and a very loving companion. I wouldn't change her for the world.

Good for you!! And that baby is a cutie, no matter what you choose to name him. You might want to try this book: HEAR HEAR! - A GUIDE TO TRAINING A DEAF DOG - I found it on http://www.dogwise.com/ and you can preview some of the book there.

He is a cutie for sure! My sister's Boston is named RugRat and called Ruggie for short. Guess what he started chewing on as soon as she brought him home..lol. I like the name Max!

I'd name him Signal, he's awesome and glad he has a good home.

Sometimes it is good to be cautious about choosing a name - it can be self fulfilling. :lol:

How about Augustus

My furbaby is named Poco Diablo. Luckily he isn't a little devil! He does let us know when teen-aged boys come into the house, but other than that he is a little angel.
