Hi, Cindy. Shepherds used to be more prevalent as guides than they are now, but they're definitely still out there. The school where I got my guide from trains standard poodles, and I've seen them work. They're excellent dogs. Take care.

I'd lose my balance, I think, if I had to carry a large, heavy dog, like s German sheperd or a setter or a lab up an escalator. BTW, when I was at the March CSUN meeting waiting for Donna and Elizabeth I saw more labs, I think, than anything--and I don't think I saw any German Sheperds. Another misconception we sighted people have--that shepherds are the only guide dogs. But I must say I missed them. If I had a choice I'd want one of those. Do any of you know anyone who uses a standard poodle? Cindy __________________________________ Yahoo!
