[NAGDU] Insisting on a particular breed of dog

[Gabriel Moloney]

hi there
what an interesting post! I am currently working a German Shepard which I received from Pilot Dogs last year.  She is my first G S and she is working out great, she is my sixth guide, but I always wanted a G S from the very start of using guides.  So I pushed or insisted that a German Shepard was my first choice and my second was a Doberman.  We are working out great as a working partnership and looking forward to many years of work with her.  So if you have fallen in love with German Shepard for your next guide I would say go for it.
regards
Gabriel

This is the third German Shepherd I have had the chance to interact with and I think I fallen  in love. The three  German Shepherd‘s that I had the pleasure of meeting all had such dignity and calm  beautiful nature‘s. I’m thinking about insisting on a German Shepherd for dog number three. I go in September. Perhaps insisting is the wrong word. Since I will be getting my dog from the Seeing Eye and they know the dogs  that are available I feel like they should still make the ultimate choice. However, I have fallen in love with the German Shepherd breed. I am wondering if any of you have  insisted on a particular breed. If so, what were your reasons and how did it work out for you? I look forward to any responses.
