I would like you to meet my newest friend, Lucy.
I'm sure going to miss her though, when I head back to the guide dog school (this Sunday).

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!

Rudy you are way cool. BOL! Lucy is cute, and lucky to have a dog like you to teach her about the world.
Bark Of Love!
Rudy, the stories you will have to tell at school. I doubt many others will have goat experience. None with goat diapers.
Your raiser may need to check out a blog called Nanny Goats in Panties!
Aw so cute! And so nice of you Rudy to be so sweet to little Lucy. Good luck in college!
She's darling!!!
Lucy looks like a lot of fun. I can't believe you are going back to school so soon! Oh Rudy! We are going to miss you so much.

Lucy looks like a little sweetie-girl! How nice that you play with her and give her company. That will be a good story to tell when you get back to doggie school.
Good luck,Rudy!

hey Rudy,
Oh. My. Dawg. Lucy is absolutely adorable! And she seems like a pawsome play pal. I am sorry you are going to miss her. You are so gentle and patient, Rudy, while little Lucy was climbing over you. You are such a good dog!
