See how sad I look!
For those of you who are just checking out this blog WELCOME!
This blog follows the life of a guide dog in training.
I raise guide dogs for the blind out of Southeastern Guide Dogs in Palmetto FL (http://www.guidedogs.org/).
The past dogs I've raised are: Brax, Frankie, Toby & Rudy (click the links under the header picture to read more about each one).
I'm currently raising my 5th guide dog puppy "Brandon"
(male yellow Lab - D.O.B. 9-4-11), who I recived on October 30th 2011.
I will keep Brandon for about 12-16 months, then he'll head
IFT (In For Training) back to the guide dog school for 6-8 months of training (plus evaulations) with "professinal" trainers and hopefully will then graduate with a blind person. *Please note though, that only 1 out of every 12 dogs will get "Carrer Changed" due to medical/training issues* I do currently have a guide dog puppy down at the guide dog school (Rudy) who is in "phase 3" (last phase of training) and will hopefully get placed with a blind person soon.

Hey Allie (and Brax)! I can't wait to see you again. glad you feel better, Brax. Soooo sorry you can't go on vacation with your trainer. Cheer up it's only for a week! See you soon(hopefully!)
you will have a blast with me and Jackson (mom's house dog)!!! We will take very good care of you and mom says that I can't teach you how to bark :( Mom say's I shouldn't be barking anyways. Can't wait to play and run around!!!
Poor Brax!! It sounds like you'll be having fun with Ralph and Jackson though!! And I'm sure that Allie misses you dearly. She wishes that you could've gone with her and I'm sure she'll tell you all about it!!
