Synopsis:
I bought my American Bulldog girl LOLA about 3 weeks ago from a couple that had their first litter. No papers on the pup, but the parents are forsure AB, very gentle, obedient, and graceful. LOLA's mom was a rescued dog from some guy that attempted to "FIGHT" her but i guess she didn't perform and ended up being beatin. She was found chained up in some jerk's backyard. I think that is why she's timid/shy.
Now i bought LOLA at 14 weeks and noticed that she is shy of people and if approached too quickly, she squats and pees and either a nervous tendancy or just a bad habit? Is this normal? She shows no aggression, rather a submissive tailwagging episode which happens 50% of the time. I also found out after i bought her that she has a congenital defect. The Left Ear didn't fully develop - she basically only has one WORKING ear, the left EXTERNAL ear is present but when you look into it, it looks like a UFC Fighters ear (Cauliflower ear), with no hole or auditory tubes going to her noggin. So i have a UNILATERAL Hearing doggy...
1. How can i remedy her pee pee spells?
2. Is a Unilateral, Partially deaf dog harder to train?
SUGGESTIONS? thanks guys/ladies - alot for a 1st time Owned Owner.
