[nagdu] question about switching schools

[GARY STEEVES]

Hello:

Yes, I can confirm that they have cut out boxers. This happened around the time I got Bogart, about 5 years ago.  However, I thought I read they had a limited poodle program. I do know that my Canadian school did do a swap of breeding pairs when I was in class, sending poodles to TSE and getting something back in return.

So I would check with TSE before ruling them out if you liked the school.

You do have to wait longer though.

The reason I decided to switch schools wasn't really a choice I felt that I had. In other words, my husband is highly allergic to shorthaired double coated dogs, so I retired my dog last year due to his anxiety toward cars, and found out that the Seeing Eye doesn't really train any allergy friendly dogs. Even though poodles have some dander, they don't shit as normal dogs do. And this is one of the very few schools that trains standard poodles or any other allergy friendly dog for that matter. Any other school I looked at either didn't offer training in my area or head an even longer waiting list. LOL. I have heard both good and bad about Each school that I researched. That is pretty much it in a nutshell.
