[Nfb-krafters-korner] Seeing Eye dog's names

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

I think some of the schools have taken on the new term, dog guide, but me, myself, would stick with guide dog.  It does not sound right.   Its almost like they are saying a guide for the dog, when the dog is the guide.

I've always been told that the term "dog guide" is the general name for dogs who guide people who are blind.  Then each school might have a specific term to refer to dogs from their school.  Sort of like the term "vehicle", is a generic term, and with in that category you have Fords, Chevys, Dodge, etc.

Each school is different. and being a member of NAGDU, it stands for National Association of Guide Dog Users, so I am not saying that you are wrong or I am wrong. It all depends on what you school told you.  

My school also told me that the school's name is the Seeing Eye, and that the dogs are called guide dogs, because dogs can see or they would be blind and then we would really be in trouble.  ROFL (rolling of floor laughing) Again, if people want answers and this is definitely off topic but please come to our talk list with NAGDU and get your questions answered.  I am a member of both national and state division.

  Cheryl not sure what your comment means. 
  I do have a Seeing Eye dog guide.  The Seeing Eye uses the term Dog  guide
  instead of guide dog.  That was clearly explained in one of their  classes I
  was in last week.
