Meet the fabulous FABIO! A stunning floofy fur ball, with a classic Aussie big ol' butt with a dynamic stubbin and his whole rear flouncys and bounces in happiness. Easy going, affectionate boy who loves his walks and people time. He watches and responds to encouraging hand signals, likes to stay close and lean in. He has a warm heart and a steady, even temperament, just a joy to be around - and a smiley expression too! Fabio is definitely hearing impaired and we recommend having another happy and easy going dog companion for him too, though not 100% required, depends on life style and time availability of his person/people. Familiarity with Aussies and deaf dogs is beneficial, but he's one easy going guy and can learn - consistency as with any dog is important...and understanding he can't hear you, so creating other positive ways to communicate is important. Touch, smell, vibration, hand-signals - and a dog buddy who is hearing is great help too.
