I have a sheltie too it is very unfortunate that some dogs are blind and deaf, but at least there are ppl who care about them enough to take them in.however i know too much ppl who would never take in dogs with problems. :( your dog must be happy to know the she has a owner who cares about her

Hello! I just found your videos,and they are wonderful.We have just rescued a double merle ourselves.Her name is Mia. She is also blind and deaf.She has no eyes.But she is a joy.You can see videos of her on my youtube page.She has onlt been here 3 weeks,but we cannot imagine our life with out her here.
We also have two other shelties,both half brothers.
She's so cute! My blue merel dog Holly came from a litter of Mini Aussies and a lot of them ended up like Snowy. Apparently your not supposed to breed merle to merle Somtimes I see Holly's deaf brother, Perfect. he's very sweet.
<3 I love seeing deaf dogs in action. I have a deaf double-merle aussie named Haven, and she's absolutely brilliant. I want to rescue another double merle because of how much they've added to my life. Your girl is gorgeous, by the way!
What sort of vision problems does she have? Haven is nearsighted in one eye and has no peripheral vision in the other. And I WISH her deafness made her mute -- no such luck. Ever hear a deaf dog bark? Sounds like a five-year-old being strangled.
God bless you for adopting her. I have so many rescues because no one wants older dogs. Most all inquiries I get are from people who want a puppy for free "since you are in rescue, you should be thankful that we even want one of your puppies," and I explain to them that this is a RESCUE and I rarely have puppies, most of my rescues available for adoption are old, with disabilities, or abuse problems. I put them on youtube so people will see they are sweet & have value. Right now all are mine.
SHe is so beautiful! It is sad that she can't hear but it really doesn't effect her at all. Or so it seems from the videos. I love when she starts chewing on the purple balloon and you think it's about to snap! I hope you have many happy years with that beautiful little girl!
It is cruel to breed them because it is highly likely you will get puppies with a disability, and even more likely you won't be able to find them homes.
I adopted a double merle aussie shepherd from the shelter, and he is the sweetest dog I have ever had. It makes me so sad the shelter almost euthanized him because they didn't think they could find a deaf dog a home.
I don't think it's cruel to breed them. Some are accidental. What is cruel, in my opinion, are the people who kill then right off the bat because they MIGHT be deaf and/or blind. That's just irrisponsible to me.
your pets are amazing and so are you....it really warms my heart to see people like you who love and care so much for animals. The world seems so much nicer because of people like you :-)
Unfortunately, they often have various genetic problems, but sometimes they can see some (like snowy), and other times they have other issues, like the teeth. And Snowy has two mishapen feet, also.
I describe a bit more about it on my youtube page!
Seing the puppy box the balloon is really cute. Happy birthday to your pup! But you shouldn't let the baby put that in it's mouth. It could pop and go down her or his wind pipe! That happened to a toddler on the news and he died.
Beautiful dog and video - you guys are saints for being such good parents. P.S. From someone who grew up with a cocker spaniel who could scream the house down, a silent dog might not be the worst thing in the world
How sweet. She is beautiful. We have 7 rescue shelties and live in the Smoky Mountains of TN. We recently lost a tiny 12 year old to cancer and miss her terribly but the remaining seven are darling too. Look at our shelties on tennesseeshelties on youtube.
Showy is a regular Sheltie with a genetic defect (double merle). She is deaf, completely mute, partially blind, and club-footed. But she doesn't let it stop her!
I wonder how Snowy is these days. DO you have new videos of her?

Cute. It's sad because thats what happens when you have a double merle and most breeders refuse to breed them.
It's nice to see you have a nice home for her though. =)
