[nagdu] Number of DOGS!

[Cindy Ray]

I know some plan how long they will work a dog and, of course, those who are training their own have to do that some so they can get the start on training another. I never planned; I would not like to work a dog and have it die when we were somewhere like say at an airport. One dog I had did decide he couldn't do it anymore while we were in an airport.

Thanks for clarifying. Maybe I'm just dense.

I don't say that this doesn't happen in Sweden either because it does. What I thought of was what my British friends have told me, when their dogs become around the age of 8 their school is starting of thinking of retirement and this doesn't happen here. I have friends in the United States and Canada who plan that their guides shall get a retirement around the age of 8-10 but in Sweden this thinking is uncommon. I know many who have worked their dogs until an old age, until it's time to go over the rainbow bridge and I don't like the thought of it. I hope that I made myself clearer...
