@Robin, my Stetson is 15 months old and I’m not too sure when his turn in date will be (either May or August I think). I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old also. He’s not too big only about a 65 pound black lab. You’ve probably seen some of his pictures on this site.

Good luck to your Stetson on his formal training.

I just wanted to tell you that I am a puppy raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind and I am currently raising a pup named Stetson!! He is a huge, gorgeous yellow lab who is heading back to GDB in San Rafael to begin his formal training on Sunday. We’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old, and he has been a joy to raise. We picked up our 6th GDB puppy last week!

I hope things are great with your Stetson!

That's cool that your friend trains guide dogs and drug/bomb sniffing dogs. We usually have guest speakers at our monthly guide dog group meetings and last year we were visited by two arson dogs and their caretaker. I wrote a short a article about their visit if you're interested: Arson Dogs Denali and Gator If you're friend is local(Orange County, CA) and is interested in being a guest speaker we'd love to have him visit our guide dog group. By the way, it's totally cool if you submit to the social media sites. Thanks!
