Guide Dogs for the Blind
« on: October 07, 2005, 08:32:58 PM »

Leon - Kyann Make some Noise (BSD Tervueren) has just successfully completed his training and qualified as a Guide Dog for the Blind.? Leon has been placed with a young lady - Hazel - in Armargh, Northern Ireland who has been waiting just over a year for a Guide Dog.? Hazel says that Leon is an absolute star and was well worth the wait!

Hazel will forward some photos in the very near future ........................? Congratulations Leon, another 'Red Letter Day' for Belgians in the UK!!

Believe it or not but  "De Vrienden der Blinden" (in English friends of the blind") are switching from Golden and Labs to Tervs (healthier and more stable).  The first one is already in service and I think there are 4 or 5 more in training.

can you please tell me were you got that information. I am planing to offer a baby laeken to the only portuguese institution that train dogs for blind people but they are very golden/ labrador oriented. I need info to get them to try a BS.

Thank you

The association that is currently using these dogs is "Vrienden der Blinden"
