Graduates

Guide Dogs, K-9 Buddies, & Breeders

Scroll down to see our dogs that have graduated as guide dogs, K9 buddies, or breeders (all listed in order by graduation date). Or, find the name of the dog you wish to see in the menu below.

Guide Dogs: There is an extremely high level of skill, soundness, and health necessary for a dog to become a guide dog. The dog must:

be orthopedically sound

be capable of walking long distances

be free from nagging allergies

be in good physical health

be sensitive yet brave

be obedient yet independent

be loving of the handler yet aloof of strangers when necessary

Breeders: Only dogs that have met the highest tempermental and physical standards are considered for inclusion in Guide Dogs for the Blind's breeding colony. Charter stock breeders are breeders that are bred once or twice then altered and placed back into formal guidework training.

K9 Buddies: These specially selected dogs are usually young dogs from GDB's own colony that are unsuitable to be Guide Dogs for medical or behavioral reasons, but would make excellent companions for legally blind children.
