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!

Brandon, you are like all puppies and need your ZZZ's, getting them wherever and whenever you can.
Sleep tight!

Sweet boy! I'm sure he's absorbing every word of the lecture.
Mom said she saw guide dogs being trained yesterday during lunchtime near where she works. It always makes her smile to see amazing dogs doing such good work.

Brandon's gonna get so smart!!
Hi Y'all,
Back in my day, there was a theory that if you played a "tape"...yep, I'm that old, of your lessons while you slept, your brain would absorb and retain much of the info. ??I still had to study the old fashioned way...read, reread, underline, make lists...
Guess Brandon thinks listening to live lectures while sleeping will work. :)
Y'all come by now,
