Hi, everyone! I'm thinking about getting my second guide dog soon, and I've
been checking into the Lab-Poodle mixes. They're called Labradoodles. Has
anyone heard how they are as guide dogs?

Hi, Cindy. You've got it backwards. *smile* Poodles have hair, where the
others have fur. That's why they don't shed. They're beautiful dogs, and I
wouldn't mind having one if it weren't for the grooming costs. Yikes! Take
care.

Thanks, Julie,
I understand that poodles are the only dogs that don't shed, which would be handy, I think--and I love the feel of their fur (I think my friend told me that they have fur instead of hair--or vice versa). They do seem intelligent, too.

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.

-Thanks again, Shelley, for interesting information. 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?
