My dog Tazer has a son that became a certified guide dog this year.  He also 
has a couple others that are in training.
I asked someone several years ago why GSD's were not being used anymore and was 
told that the GSD's that they found were spooks.  Can't have a dog that is not 
confident leading a visually impaired person. Sadly there are still way to many 
poor tempermented animals out there.

Subject: Guide Dog question

Many of you know my second ex-wife is blind and she has a guide dog, a black 
lab 
named Woodson...well she likes the dog very much but the learning curve is a 
bit 
slow, she told me most Guide dog schools do not use GSD any more...when I was a 
kid when ever I saw a guide dog...it was ALWAYS a GSD.......what happened? why 
is our breed no longer sought out  for guide dogs for the blind?...this 
troubles 
me...or maybe I just have too much time on my hands...in 60 minutes I plan to 
have a long talk with "Woodson"...perhaps I will introduce him to one of my 
three bitches that refuse to have babies..lol.... maybe Woodson just needs a 
good bitch in his life.....or maybe my ex-wife is driving him 
crazy!......lol.....FB
