[nagdu] {nagdu} guide dog in high school

[Julie J.]

This is taken from the GDUI survey done in 2006:
4. Are there upper or lower age limits for acceptance into your program?
Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation: Lower age-limit 16

    * Freedom Guide Dogs for the Blind: No age restriction
    * Guide Dogs of America (GDA): 16 and older; No upper age limit
    * Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB): 16 minimum, no other age-restrictions
    * Guide Dogs of the Desert International (GDDI): 18 and above
    * Guide Dog Foundation (GDF): Generally only 16 and up
    * Guide Dogs of Texas (GDTX): Minimum 17; No upper age-limit
    * Guiding Eyes for the Blind (GEB): Minimum 16; No max, as long as
      physically capable
    * KSDS: No age restrictions
    * Leader Dogs for the Blind: 18 years minimum and out of high school
    * Pilot Dogs: Youngest, Junior or Senior in high school
    * Southeastern Guide Dogs (SEGD): Must be at least 18
    * The Seeing Eye: 16 to75


Sorry if there are weird formatting things in there. I cut and pasted 
that info.
