[nagdu] DIFFERENT TYPES OF DOGS

[Peggy]

Really, as has been stated, it should be the match that matters.  Which dog 
will best fit your needs.  However, that said, I have had four dogs in my 
lifetime, two shepherds and two labs, and I would rather not have another 
lab, I prefer to work with shepherds.  If the only match they had for me was 
a lab, would I take him/her, sure.  I would also try a cross or a retriever 
but ... for the most part ... if I have my choice and they can accomidate me 
... I would like shepherds.  But really, Seeing Eye will ask you if you have 
a preference and you can put on there *prefers shepherds* now whether your 
matched with one or not really is their choice based on what your looking 
for in a dog and what dog would fit those needs.

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?
