We started our trip at 3am this morning (if you count that morning...).
Arriving in FL late afternoon, just in time for a SEGDI school tour.
We got our picture taken in front of the pawesome SEGDI rock out front, then headed in to start the tour.
Once we got to the IFT (In For Training) & Puppy kennel, us dogs got put in a "kennel van", since we weren't allowed in the kennels:( At least I had some "buddies" beside me!
My Raiser told me she had a BLAST in the puppy kennel, and the pups were soo cute! (see pictures below!).
They headed down to the IFT kennel to visit all the dogs that have returned to finish training. She had a list of dogs she knew that she was hoping to get pictures of. A couple were in the kennels at the time, but some were out training:(
We enjoyed seeing the school, I said my goodbyes and we headed over to the hotel.

Just catching up on all your blog posts this week :) First off, I LOVE the new blue background. Not only is is really pretty, but it also loads way faster on my computer. Yay!- a definite plus!!! I hope your enjoying your trip to SEGD in Florida. I wish I could be cuddling with puppies right now. One question- what kinds of dogs do SEGD train? In a couple of the pictures, I noticed some dogs that didn't look like labs/goldens. Just wondering. Toby sounds like he is doing really well- just today I was looking through the sidebar of info and noticed he was less than a year old. He's HUGE (at least that's how it looks in the photos)- and so well trained. What a good boy he was at the library. Toby's new heart collar tag is so cute!
Hope you have a fun time at the Walkathon. Best wishes for a fun puppy swap. Can't wait to see photos of the SEGD event.

"What kinds of dogs do SEGD train?"
They have just "retired" the Vizslas & Aussies (though the ones in training will finish).
The breeds they will keep doing are Labs, Golden R, crosses of both, Smooth coat collies, & German Shepherds (they have JUST started the GS, and are only allowing them to be raised right near the school).
I also think they might be mixing them with a different breed).
Feel free to check out SEGDI's webpage about the breeds,
Hugh (one of the IFT dogs that I posted I picture of on my blog), he was a lab or lab x. But sometimes they get 1 puppy out of some litters that have those brown markings.

Your heart tag is so pretty.

Going to school with buddies is good because you can have study groups to review your learnings. It is good to see a graduate with his human. That will be YOU soon.

We are so very excited that you have made it safe and sound Toby and it sounds like you and your Raiser are having fun and learning lots!!
Smileys!

Toby, I'm so interested in what you have to say that I can't make my usual silly comments. Of course that paw shot in the end...BOL somebody have a pad fetish?
Twink!
