Hi Charles,
Yes, he's a recent acquisition - eleven years old, would you believe.
He'd been a working guide dog for a blind person for nine years and was
being retired on age grounds. In fact he had worked longer than is usual.
We lost our previous dog, a German Shepherd - also a retired guide dog -
just before Christmas and a very large gap in the home needed filling.
This new boy retired on a Tuesday night and we met up with him the next
day and has been with us for just over a month now.
We've supported the UK Charity Guide Dogs for the Blind for over thirty
years, the first fifteen having been spent bringing up puppies for the
first year of their life, from which they underwent a further year's
"college" training before being teamed up with a person. Subsequently we
took on reject and retired dogs.
Our first ever pup, a yellow lab (as they're known here), failed his
exams and came back to us. He was a great mentor for the puppies in
training with us - including at one time, in the best of Labrador
traditions, showing a puppy how to get plums off the plum tree!
You can't beat a Labrador, always our first love in dogs. As you say
"the best dogs to be owned by"!
