[nagdu] labradoodles and schools that use them?

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Julie,

Bummer.  I didn't realize about GDD's recent problems.  Bummer!  Now I'll
have to look them to up to find out what went on/is going on.  /smile/

Guide Dogs of the Desert had some difficulties not so long ago.   I don't 
know if things got straightened out or if they are  even planning on 
continuing to offer guide dogs.  At any rate it is a very, very small school

and you could be waiting for a long while.

I think the lab x poodles have pretty much been phased out because they 
didn't work out as expected.   There are still a few places that offer 
poodles and Pilot offers Dobermans, while they do shed there's not much fur 
to be shedded.

Sorry for the not so great news.  Glad to have you on the list, welcome!

Julie
