[nagdu] question about switching schools

[Tracy Carcione]

I heard TSE had poodles, too.  Not very many, so I suppose the wait is very
long, but I heard there were some.

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.

has used Boxers for people who have allergies. You do have to wait longer
though. Cindy -----Original Message----- From: nagdu

question about switching schools Hi Liz, I don't mind sharing it all. 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. Kerri Stovall Sent from my iPho  ne >
