A stable genetic disposition is a must when choosing puppies to be trained as guide dogs. Furthermore, choosing the mother and father dog is an important first step in order to breed suitable puppies for this important and difficult job. Piroska Komondi, professional leader at our foundation writes about how the International Guide Dog Federation (IDGF) and its member organisations are offering support and opportunities in various fields of guide dog training.
Malina and Azúr could give birth to their puppies at any moment. They got pregnant with a few days of difference, in both cases the father will be our dog Monsoon. We asked their owners about the yellow female dogs giving birth for the first time.
We consider it important to build a close relationship between guide dog owners and thevolunteers of our foundation. The summer and autumn picnics went so well that everyone is looking forward to the meetings. The joint occasions also allow the puppy raisers to see how much help the dogs raised by them give to their visually impaired owners.
She plods and sleeps plenty, which has a reason beyond the hot weather: she will have her puppies soon. We had a chat about our dog Azúr, with her owner, Sára.
Sára Kovács moved here to Hungary from her hometown, Topolya which is located in Serbia.
