Question for dog lovers ? or experts? or?

I am very allergic to dogs & cats, and she wanted a dog very badly after my daddy passed away. After much prayer, we found an elderly couple who had had a puppy mill, but were going into a home. The puppies all gone, my mama adopted the Sire, Mister Buff, or Buffy. This was a happy ending for all involved in this particular puppy mill, as both the sire & dam both had champion lines, and were only 4 years old.

Buffy is a 14# bundle of fluffy love, and even though I didn't particularly care for dogs, he has me wrapped around his little paw! I'm his "Mama #2" and brush him almost daily - with not sneezing!

Here's some more about bichons.

I adopted the most beautiful, sweet and cuddly Alaskan Malamute from a rescue group. The poor gal was born with juvenile cataracts and had been blind most of her short life (she was 18 months old when I adopted her). The group's national parent group paid for her to have surgery so that she could see again. Since she was blind and very dependent on humans, she's very sweet but suffers from separation anxiety. The poor girl ended up on IVs the last time I boarded her because she was so stressed out that she couldn't eat and was having the runs. She's the perfect dog, when I'm home, but she really is sad and stressed when I go away.

Anyone have any experience with deaf dogs? I am thinking about adopting a puppy that is 90% deaf. I read up on it and I don't think it will be a problem but I have a couple of questions. PM me.
