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!

Rudy,
You is very brave! That contraption would probably scare the poops out of me. :)

OMD, Rudy, what are you doing there? Is that a lift for getting into vehicles if you are disabled or a forklift or exercise equipment? I can't decide.

You are one brave pup, Rudy! Good job. That is such a cute photo of you yawning. You must've been tired :)
Now there's a new adventure for you, Rudy - did you have a fun ride?

You deserve a nice rest!

We agree with MaggieMae. You could NeVeR get Baby on that thing. I might attempt it though.
Smooches,
Hootie & BabyRD
Grammy used to work with kids that used those things and she says they can be noisy. She says you are doing really great for being so young! We've been on elevators before, but they are closed in when moving. Don't know how we would do on something scary like that! The CC Pups
