BUT, she came back home today!
I did have a blast while she was gone, of course I was quite happy to see her come back.

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 -

Enjoy!

I guess your raiser gets a few minutes of post time!

Duchess,
4H is fun! Mom and Dad teach dog obedience there, which means I get to go in a few weeks and show the kids how it can turn out! I hope your raiser had fun there!

That is just unacceptable. You could always snag a shoe to make up for it. ;)
Looks like you and Rocky will be going back to SEDGI soon! We'll be very interested to hear about progress of both dogs:)
Hahaha it's good to share some blog time with the humans. After all, they do proofread for us!
