>> I've been enjoying the posts on this list. I've been reading Marsha's blog which has provided valuable nuts and bolts info about GDF and what it is like getting a guide dog from that school. I now wish other handlers would blog about there experiences at their schools because I'm really learning a lot and the info is stuff that just can't be gotten from a survey or asking questions as I might not always think of asking what Marsha has put in her blog.

>> Rebecca, I love your insight and reply to the allergy issue. It is something I'm seriously considering because although in my situation I think a guide would work better for me than a cane, allergy issues is one drawback.
>> That being said, what dogs are less likely to cause allergy issues and does GDF train those types of dogs?? I don't have allergies myself, but want to be ahead of the game in that if I can get a dog with less allergy causing issues that would be good. Fortunately, I have plenty of time as my uncooperative pet dog is still with me. I'm asking this question so I can be prepared when it comes time to make the final decision about a guide dog (and I'm curious as well).
