I keep reading this thread just in case a new member sends a post. How disappointing. If this does not stop, I will do one of two things: 1. I will position Purdue, my Yellow Lab guide, directly north of your location, facing north. I will just stand there and watch him beat you to death with his hyperactive tail! (ornery grin). Or, 2: I will fill your pockets with dry dog food and turn Purdue loose. No harness, no leash. (another, even ornerier, grin) --- Be positive!

Her coat was beautiful. Her personality was, leave me alone with my master. that is about it. I met another dog later on, a male, and he had the same attitude. Love them.

They can be a bit nervous though possibly why not many have made it through. The police use them quite a lot for police work.

My first instructor died not long ago, about 5 years. His name escapes me now. I will think of it later, of course. This was with my very first dog, Michelle, she was a Belgium sheepdog. She looked like a collie, but was col black, even shined blue, some said. she was beautiful and a very hard worker. I have seen only one other Belgium sheepdog like her, and the male dog had escaped from someone and came to this home and adopted this woman. He was magnificent. He had the same traits as my dog, but much, much larger. They are a one person dog, very loyal, completely dedicated. People were more afraid of her than any of my German Shepard's, I think because she had very white teeth, and pink gums, and when she worked she smiled, she looked very scarey.

From: Cathy Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2013 2:13 PM To: guidedogchat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [guidedogchat] Re: introduction The vishla is a very short hair dog like the Doberman and boxer. I think the long hair dogs are prettier, but this boxer is not much to keep groomed. The Vishla is a red dog and long eared. I believe they are bird dogs. The poodle need to be clipped. I love the boxer, wasn't sure when I was handed the leash that I would like him, but I really love him a lot. My labs and goldens were wonderful dogs too. I would love to have a vishla the next time I go back. I believe that I will work dog guides until I am not able too. You are not to old to get another. I have been in class with older people than you. Pilot will issue out dogs as long as your doctor will give you the go ahead. I am 56 and have been working dogs for 35 years. What school did you get your dogs, I forgot, grin. Cathy & Pilot Dog, Tiny: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
