HE CAME TODAY!
Tracker showed up this morning at 8am, he's the cutest 8 week old pup I've ever seen!
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.

Enjoy!

Now there is a breed we had not heard of - he is just so cute. How lucky he is to get to spend time with you - bet he learns a lot!!! Somehow we can't help but think that some higher power had all this planned:)

Tracker will definitely help you fill your time in between pups. What a cutie!
man you had me going thought you had your new pup. Tracker sure is a cutie.
Those are the cutest ears! Tracker's gonna grow up to be a big strong dog for sure! You can always tell by looking at puppy ears.
I'd explain how, but humans will never understand.

You definitely had us going there. He is quite adorable. It works out very well that you have him to wear you out some and make the time go by quick, waiting for the other puppy to make an appearance. Plus you get to keep in practice.

so glad you were able to get a dose of puppy love!
Mmmm... New breed? The big one (Mom?) looks like a type of Mastiff. He sure is a cutie, though! He should help you pass the time quickly!
