If I remember correctly there was a big training center in New York years ago, 
but no more!  It really is odd now that you
mention it!

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Guide dog!

Just saw a commercial about a soldier who lost his sight as a result of 
fighting in Afghanistan! He had a German Shepherd Dog! You almost NEVER see a 
German Shepherd guide dog anymore, yet when I was a kid that's all you saw! why 
aren't our dogs not used very often! It's disappointing to me. when my ex-wife 
got a guide dog she wanted a Shepherd but was told her school ( Marin/ San 
Francisco school for the blind) no longer uses GSds... To this day that bothers 
me....even though she's had two great Labs, it's too bad GSDs have been fazed 
out.  Ed
