Hey everyone, my name is Margot! Don't I have the most magical eyes? People say they could get lost gazing into them.

While you're here, please let me tell you a bit about myself -

I am an intelligent, happy and loving girl with a bright personality, and my lack of hearing doesn't stop me from living an amazing and fun life! My carer has taught me basic commands using sign language, and I love to learn. Some of the commands I know include: sit, down, wait, paw, up, heel and walk on - and I love learning more! I have recently been introduced to scent training as well which I love and have caught on to very quickly. It's such a fun game and keeps my brain active.

My adopter should know that I am great at reading body language, hand signals and enjoy having a 'safe place' like any dog does. Place training, as with most dogs, will make me feel stable and secure. You can get my attention by using a torch, or lightly stomping on the floor so that I feel vibration. As with other dogs, it's not best to sneak up behind me and startle me! I don't bark often but when I do, you'll notice it's a little higher in pitch than other dogs- very common in deaf dogs as we can't hear ourselves! I have not been to dog parks as they are a bit chaotic for most dogs, and even more so for a deaf one!

But there is so much more to me than being deaf. I have a bright personality and just want to be loved. During the day I love to spend some time sun baking with doggy sunscreen on of course, playing with tug ropes and the other dogs, and chasing the tennis ball. I love cuddles with my humans and love kids although can forget my size sometimes with smaller kids and accidentally knock them over. At night time I am content to sleep outside with the other dogs.

I would love to have a rotation of good quality toys and puzzles, and to continue learning tricks so that I can use up all my brain power on the right things. No one enjoys being bored. Pack walks with my whole family are one of my favourite things to do. I would also love adventures outside of the yard 3-4 times a week, to run, sniff and roll would help keep my mind and body active! I am a social girl who has always lived with other dogs so I think I would be too lonely if I didn't have a canine sibling.

I am a mix of a mix as you can see! But we all know it's not the pedigree that matters, but our bond! I am expected to reach 30-35kg as an adult as an estimate. I would like to be behind a 5ft fence or higher so that as I grow, I am not tempted to escape the yard. Being a young dog, I am going to grow up however you allow me to- so it's important to spend your early weeks with me getting my routine and training down-pat. I am a smart pup who is a keen learner and will make you very happy.

So what do you think? Could I be the one for you?
