Graduates
We Are So Proud of Our Club Graduates!
When our puppies return to The Seeing Eye they are placed into a class where they train with a professional trainer. If they pass "puppy college", the puppy raisers are invited to Morristown for their dog's Town Walk -- our dog walks with their trainer ahead of us while a volunteer walks with us and explains to us everything our puppy has learned.Â
Afterwards, they are matched with a person who is blind or low-vision who they will also train with for 3 to 4 weeks. If all goes well, we, the puppy raisers, receive a "graduation photo" in the mail plus a letter telling us a little bit about the person our puppy has been placed with.
On rare occasion, dogs are chosen to enter The Seeing Eye's breeding program rather than go directly into guide work. The Seeing Eye breeds its own dogs for the program: German shepherds, Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers and a cross of the Lab and golden retriever. Female dogs retire at age four and male dogs sire eight to 10 litters before they are adopted by a loving family. We will note any graduates that entered that program below.
We are so proud of our pups and we remember all of them. Here is just a selection:
