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.
Please feel free to follow -
"Brandon's Life... As a Guide Dog In Training"
Enjoy!

"He's getting really comfortable in that harness huh! How long will he have it?"
I have no idea.
It was going to be 1 week, but I've had it for 1 month, the people forgot to take it, and some classes were canceled, Toby was sick for the last class...
LOL, his snoot is all squashed, he doesn't care! Too cute!
Way to train, Toby. Or am I being hard on you? You probably trained hard before this photo was taken. Good job, then. Rest :)
Twink!
Always on duty, right? But even a hard worker such as yourself needs a wee nap now and then.
Slobbers,
