[nagdu] private guide training

[NCBootman]

Perhaps you want to consider dropping your request for a specific breed. If 
the breed you seek is not happy with small children, is it a good breed for 
a guide dog? What happens when you find yourself amongst other people's kids 
or have to pass by a daycare on one of your routes? I would not want that 
liability for myself because if our dogs harm someone else, as handlers, we 
are responsible. Even if the dog seems fine in a kennel, that can change 
once it is a working dog if by nature it is not child friendly.

No, pilot jsut said that since I had a small child in the house along
with 2 smaller dogs, that it would be harder to find a dog that is
both able to live with small dogs and children, and be the breed I
want. *shrugs*
