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.

Hey Brandon,
You sure do qualify for Mangominster working stiffs! Even as a little pupkid you are learning all the things you need to know. I can't wait to see what you do as you grow along!

Looks like more fun than the horrible vet! Looks like movie theatre! Though have never been allowed to be in one myself.
Hi Brandon! Did you go to a school??? We would have thought vet, but didn't think a vet would have carpet.

Brandon, you are growing too fast! Look at how big you are!! You've got to stop right there. I don't want to lose that puppy face!!
Hi Brandon! You are so cute!!! We don't think it's the vet either...it looks kind of like a movie theatre carpet...perhaps you went to visit some children...in a library? or a school? xoxo Chloe and LadyBug
I don,t know fur sure where you went, but you ure have gotten bigger since I was here last! Looking good pal!
Hey Brandon.

Seriously, are you in the vets?
