A Table of Contents for the White Dog Blog
The White Dog Blog was started many years ago as a way to educate and inspire others of my journey with Treasure, a blind and deaf double merle sheltie. Treasure began the White Dog Blog, and since that time it has encompassed other specially-abled dogs and is now a sought-after site for information and inspiration to anyone living with, training, or rescuing blind, deaf, and blind/deaf dogs.
This resource will hopefully create an easy way to see the blog post topics all in one place. This is a perk offered to Uniquely Paws-Able students. I hope you find it helpful!

After teaching a blind and deaf double merle in 1991, Debbie made it her mission to educate others about the issues with merle-to-merle breeding, and the impairments it can cause. She is a highly sought-after expert and spends much time consulting with owners, rescues, shelters, and trainers around the world about working with dogs that are blind, deaf, or both.
