[NAGDU] Guide dogs for the deafblind.

[Dr.dbTarzan]

Hi Rox. dbTarzan here.
Japanese dogs for the deafblind do not have property of both 
guide dog and hearing dog but extended guide dog. For 
example, using sign, sensitive to car sounds and so on. All 
guide dogs have to be trained by schools in Japan. No one 
train them by oneself. Because certificate is required to 
become a guide dog.
