Hi Clare, sorry for the late response. I bet Jazlyn is doing awesome! Hopefully we’ll see you at one of the GDA events before she starts her formal training. Take care!

I’m very curious to see if Jazlyn wants to be a guide dog, especially with her 9 month evaluation coming up.

Hi Angel,

Congratulations! I hope Volt is doing well in his formal training. Apache is in formal training too, but he got career changed from guide dog to service dog.

Thanks for stopping by!
Colby

Yep, every once in a while we have dogs that act like that and just love to chase the ball. Those are the ones that get transferred to the Search Dog Foundation.

I usually try to refer to them as career changed dogs, but people often don’t understand so I revert back to calling them guide dog drop outs–it sure doesn’t sound that good though 🙁

I’ve never seen a dog with such high ball drive, and we laugh about the idea of some poor person at the end of his harness if a ball were tossed across the street in front of him. It wouldn’t be pleasant! lol I’m still giggling about Fenton!
