Barkley is a Bullboxer (1/2 American Bulldog and 1/2 Boxer) and the newest member of the Fortner family! We welcomed Barkley into the family in November. Lawson was so excited to get a puppy, and Liam just laughs at him all the time. He is a sweet puppy and has added a great aspect to this household. He is a very smart boy already, but we are pretty sure he is deaf. The white color is a recessive gene and being deaf usally comes along with it. I did some research and learned some of the common hand signs to use with him so that we can train him well even though he is deaf. We have high hopes that he will be a good family dog even with his disability. We will love him just as much as we would have if he could hear!
