Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
Colllies as guide dogs. Interesting, honestly never considered that before. Then again retrievers have a reputation for being crazy, least all the ones my family owned have lacked a few brain cells bar the last two. Cats were no different either, I had one
Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
@Dark, I think the intelligence of dogs has to do a little with the purpose they are used for, and what tasks they are bred to carry out.For example, a Dachshund, which is mainly a hunting small and midsized dog is trained only to hunt and dig to search
Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
@Shotgunshell, One part of having a guide dog is indeed making going places generally easier, and whatever your doing now odds are you'll be going more places later when you finish school etc, though learning to take care of yourself is indeed a necessity

Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
I want to add that when I was 16 in small town North Carolina, my teachers/grandmother decided to apply me for two guide dog schools. That was ten years ago. I don't remember having a whole lot of say in the process. I don't remember if I researched
Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
Being from North Carolina myself, I know how country/rural some of those towns can be. I've never even heard of Hayesville! Apparently, it has a population of 311. My Hometown is about 4250 if you don't take in the surrounding towns. I think living out

Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
Not sure how that makes sense... any school in state or in the US would be closer than Canada from NC, as far as I know. I would recommend looking into a local school, and that only when you can be certain of being able to support both yourself and the dog
Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
They do have to accept guide dogs and handlers, I'm talking about the fact that I have to take transportation, I'd rather walk to the store and back by myself.

Okay. Ignore my revious post since I posted it befoe you posted...I'll go through those points one by one and offer my thoughts:Yes, you have to go X miles with a dog. I know for a fact I can't, yet certain relatives keep hinting I ought to get a dog. I've
Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
Hint. Don't go to a school in Canada when there are better ones in the US... I don't know why they are refusing you, either, but I wouldn't go to the school here if it's the one I'm thinking, and I'm Canadian! Just out of curiocity, why do you want to go
Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
Using the "friendliness" of the town as an excuse seems absurd. There seems to be a number of organizations that have locations in North Carolina that offer Guide Dog services and training that you can apply for through their websites, such as the

@Cinnamon I would tell you, but honestly I have no idea what the name is. I think I pretty much covered all the details that I'm aware of but I'll come back when I find out more.

Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
When we refer to schools, we're not talking about your high school or college. We're referring to a training facility which breeds and trains dogs. The only US school I know of that operates in Canada is The Seeing Eye. Guide dogs *typically* come from one
Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
@shotgunshell, when I say "school" I don't mean your actual school, I mean a guide dog training school, ie, an organization trains guide dogs and matches them with blind people. apparently there are several in the states, so goodness knows why
Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
yeah, I'm calling bullcrap on the "your town isn't good for dogs" rubbish.1. Do they not expect you to ever go anywhere else at all?2. From your description, I have no idea what aspect of your town they'd be referring to as the deal-breaker. There
Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
I don't get guide dogs from my school, I get them from people in Canada. Who they are I'm not to sure. Besides, my school doesn't do much for me anyways, and when they do they rely on other third party companies and organizations to buy the stuff for them

Which school are you attempting to get a dog through?

Re: A Question About Guide Dogs
I live in Hayesville NC, and no I'm not nervous about posting that info because it's not like someone's gonna track me down or anything like that. You have to be 15 or older for a guide dog, and I'm 17. You have to go all the way to Canada to get a dog
