[NAGDU] guide dog from another country, was Introduction

[Star Gazer]

				I'd love to know about this too. Why did you
pick a school in Switzerland, and how did it all work? Lisa may or may not
be on the list, but I do remember her posting about getting a dog from a
German school. I'm curious to know about both your choices and how you got
there.

Hi Bianca.
It's interesting that you live in Germany, but got your dog in Switzerland.
I guess I had the impression, from reading about other Europeans with guide
dogs, that a person could only get a dog in the country where they live.
Did you feel the Swiss program offered more for you?  Did you have extra
trouble, going outside Germany?  Just curious.
Tracy

Hello list, 

I have joined this list about a week ago and I thought I might introduce
myself and my guide dog. 

I am Bianka and I live in Germany  with my husband and our two guide dogs.
My dogs name is Aleska,  she is a yellow lab and she was trained by a  guide
dog school near Basel, Switzerland.  

I guess I joined this list for mainly nostalgic reasons. Way back when  I
started thinking about having a guide dog I got a lot of help and
interesting ideas from lists like Buddy-L. 

Hope for interesting discussions and maybe I can contribute one thing or
another. 

Kind regards,

Bianka
