[nagdu] second time is the charm

[Chantel Cuddemi]

Hi John,

I have a standard poodle from Pilot Dogs named Motley. 

He's two years old and weighs 57 pounds. Standard poodles are really good
dogs for those with allergies. 

Guide Dogs of the Desert also trains standard poodles as well The Seeing
Eye. 

Good luck,

Chantel and Motley

Greetings members,
	I am interested in a guide dog, but have serious dander allergies.
Does anyone have experience with a standard poodle as a guide dog?  Thank
you.  John
