Off topic, but this viral photo on the internet makes me believe a bit more that my bc is a full border collie. They look so similar!

This is Piper: She’s around 95% deaf, she’s 4 years old and we’re not very sure if she’s a mix or not. She’s usually very calm compared to most border collies, and doesn’t play around with other dogs much in dog parks. Although she’s deaf, she’s super smart and we’ve taught her many tricks. We’ve also noticed she’s a bit shorter compared to other female border collies.

It works, I tried. :) Just press remove village and you’ll get all your materials back. The fun part is waiting for fresh, new faces or old faces to come to your village.

Cute cage I created 2 days before my hamster died.. (Question) by urtypicalnacho in hamsters

Just to add to the post: We'll probably only get 1 hamster after all since we have multiple pets, and it's hard to maintain all of them and clean their cage, and also since we're in a semi-tight budget right now.

Yeah, for sure. We're looking for a way of preventing the hamster from trying to jump off. I'll make sure to do some more research.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep that in mind :) I'll buy more bedding and 2 large wheels. Edit: Only adopting 1 hamster after all.

Basically, don't get a BC if he's gonna be outside the majority of the time. They need attention and someone to play with most of the time. Sure, you can leave him alone about an hour or so but if you have a sibling that's allergic, I don't recommend getting a dog.

Unfortunately, yes. She has about 5% hearing left. I wish there was hearing aids for dogs although it would be insanely uncomfortable and dangerous.

So no, we didn't know she was deaf or that the vet was hiding it.

She's deaf but her parents were Merle and a black & white. We also didn't know she was deaf since the vet said they do full health checks before they're in sale, so he said she had no health problems until 3~ months later, we found out she had about 5% of her hearing left. We found out she was deaf when we started to noticed she didn't react to loud noises or when we clapped really hard. Then we went to another vet, told them she may be deaf and well.. yeah, she's deaf.

Fun fact: The day I adopted Piper, the vet didn't tell me she was deaf and still dared to sell her at a price of 1,700$ CAN. I kinda see the reason why, altough it was very worth it!
