Morris - 9 Week Old Cattle Dog X

Meet Morris, an adorable 9-week-old boy with one very special feature, one beautiful blue eye! 💙

Morris is a big, lovable boy who more than makes up for his deafness with his enormous capacity for love. He adores playtime, cuddles and, of course, plenty of sleep! He's a bouncy, affectionate puppy who is discovering the world around him and is ready to find a family who will help him grow into the confident, happy dog he's meant to be.

Morris is deaf, so he'll need a committed family willing to continue his training using sign language and visual cues. Deaf dogs can learn beautifully, but training requires patience, consistency and an understanding of how to communicate with them safely.

Morris will need another suitable dog in his forever home. Ideally, this would be a friendly, confident dog, preferably a larger dog who can be a positive companion as Morris learns about the world. His new family must also be committed to his ongoing training and helping him feel secure, as he can be a little anxious at times.

Morris and his siblings are currently around 6kg at just 9 weeks old, and he's expected to grow into a medium to big boy. His future family needs to be ready for the commitment of raising a large dog, along with the extra care and communication that comes with having a deaf dog.

Morris’s yard needs to be completely fenced, ready for a dog with permanent fixtures in place. The yard must be cleared of rubbish and choke hazards, with no gaps in the fences or gates.
