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!

Woof! Woof! Happy Wordless Wednesday!!! Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Hi, Sorry it took us so long to get back to you. You asked why couldn't Edith share. She can & does but she feels much more comfortable eating by herself because we all eat fast. She doesn't because she doesn't have any teeth. Edith was a mama in a puppy mill. She had a bad life and her knees are bad, she is old, & they had to shave off mats of her hair. We like her. She is very sweet. We love her lots & hope someone will also adopt her & give her her forever home.
Duchess is a beautiful dog. LOve the pic of her.
