2. I raise Guide Dogs for the Blind puppies . ..

Trust me when I say it takes a village to raise these puppies. Dedicated instructors in our local club. Puppy Sitters who go through the same training that I go through. An entire organization breeding dogs specifically for their temperament and health. Yes, it costs a lot, but these dogs are not sold to blind people. They are given; along with training for the blind person. It's just heartbreaking to read about these types of groups that cast doubt on the truly wonderful organizations like Guide Dogs for the Blind. And then the blind person with their guide dog has to worry about so-called "Service Dogs" attacking their dogs because they're not adequately trained.
