[NAGDU] signs for recognizing dog's need to retire

[Daniel Sweeney]

Hi,

 

My guide dog is approaching 9 years old and I have worked her for almost 7
years. I was curious about when others have retired their dogs, and how did
you make the decision to do so.

I can't bear the thought of retiring her, and I don't think she is needing
to retire, but I know it is inevitable. She has been a perfect dog and
continues to be but..

My previous dog was retired early due to performance issues so this will be
my first retirement.

Thanks for your input and advice.

 

Daniel
