[NAGDU] Crosses

[Lisa]

Hi Tracy,


I am only on my first guide dog, so can't compare several dogs. But my 
dog is a pure lab and had all of Krokus' habits in the early days. It 
took a lot of patience and time to teach him how to behave in the house 
but it worked well.

I'd say rather than being a cross thing, it's a matter of socialization. 
Obviously, the family where Taylor grew up before he started training 
wasn't so keen on good house manners. But I don't know what it's like in 
the US, where the puppies are before they start proper training.
