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!

If those humans would stop trying to give us baths, that wouldn't happen.
Poor Rudy...I agree with The Thundering Herd!

Oh Rudy, look to the future...the more baths, the more clogged drains. The end result? No more baths.
Not naughty, but nice,

Baths are wrong, just look at all of those hairs that you lost!

Hey Rudy! Guess what! My idiot mom has been reading your blog and somewhere along the way she got confused and thought that you actually lived with Miss Ellie's mom. Can you believe it? I guess the whole black lab thing made her head dizzy.
Hey, shed much? Hehehe.
Slobbers,

Poor Rudy!
How did woo do?

May be it's the invisible cat that is shedding ...

I only get a bath every 6 weeks by my groomer. But if it rains we are out there walking and playing. This time of the year I use snow to keep clean and fresh.
