american bulldog puppy - deva

Deva is out of my own litter of American Bulldog puppies. Her mum Ruby had 13 puppies so it was a big litter, but after a few weeks I realised that Deva was deaf. I took her to the vets to check her over and the vet confirmed she was deaf so I decided to keep her.

Deva's original name was Roxy but because she's so naughty at the moment I changed her name to Deva short for Devil!

She is an absolute stunning dog with the brightest blue eyes. I am just starting to train her with hand signals and she's doing pretty good. She's already learned the no sign which is the palm of my hand like a stop sign, and the good sign which is thumb up.

I was so pleased when I finally got this pic of her. I had been trying to take a pic of her eyes for ages but she never stays still. She's always on the move. Usually she moves just as the camera is about to flash to take the pic. So this pic was long awaited - a front sitting down pic of her showing her gorgeous eyes. Deva is now 10 weeks old and she is so stunning.
