[nagdu] DIFFERENT TYPES OF DOGS

[Steven Johnson]

Brittney, 
I don't think it matters as it tends to be more of a personal preference.  However, it might matter to the dogs what kind of person they are going to be matched with/grin!  

I have always enjoyed the labs, and to be more specific, black labs.  Would I turn down any other breed?  No as it is the match I am looking for not the breed.  However, please keep in mind, breed is important to some, and I do respect this.  The same goes with different styles of canes as some prefer certain styles and brands over others.  All a personal preference and choice.  

Just my opinion,

Steve

hello everyone,
I always wanted to ask.  Does the breed of dog you use as a guide matter?  I know some guide dog users are really particular about a certain breed and others don’t care?  Why is this?  Before I got my guide people asked me what type of dog I wanted  and I would ask, “should I have a preference?” and I was told that I shouldn’’t care.  Before I start rambleing  I just want to know the difference in different breeds?
