Salmon

Salmon as his name suggests, is a freshwater puppy who loves nothing more than a good splash-fest. Any vessel will do, a water dish, a splash pool, even a bath! A special thing about Salmon is that he is deaf! The up-side to this is that he sleeps soundly and isn’t bothered by thunder or fireworks, the down-side is that he can’t hear himself when he’d like to have a go at communicating with you! Salmon is calm and observant, showing keen interest in learning hand signals in exchange for morsels of tasty treats. He loves to sleep flat on his back in his crate, revelling in the peace and quiet that his lack of hearing provides him. Although he is generally calm, he is a bit prone to having his way with a fluffy toy at the end of a long day of learning (not safe for public viewing)!!! Salmon is quietly confident and self-assured and is quite open to new experiences where he gets to quietly observe. He loves nothing more than sitting to watch the world go by. An old soul, if you will! He hasn’t shown any signs of separation anxiety and is crate-trained. As he is deaf, certain considerations will need to be taken to ensure he has a long, safe and happy life ahead of him. This will include investing in a variety of good quality leashes and harnesses and continued training. Salmon is quite good with other dogs but does need some guidance in this space as his advances can be misconstrued. He knows he’s handsome and doesn’t quite understand when his playmate doesn’t agree! Salmon can be a little over the top with cats, as he cannot hear their protests.
Salmon must go with another friendly, well-adjusted and young canine friend so he can follow their lead, and learn good doggy manners.
