The little group is becoming more active, louder and more curious day by day, while Borsó is a caring, routine mother who looks after them during their first, very important stage of life. Melinda Leidgeb, Borsó’s owner, is following every

Over the past two decades, we have provided more than two hundred guide dogs to visually impaired applicants, and in recent years we have also been involved in the training of personal assistance, mobility assistance and therapy dogs. In the anniversary year,

Marcsi-futi started from friendly connections and has grown into a larger circle of friends and a professional community. We develop the guide dog trainees, we learn a lot from our trainer and from each other — all while having a great time. Shared programs and outings have become a kind of small celebration for our

Borsó gave birth to nine puppies on the night of January 21st. There are yellow and black girls and boys among them. All are beautiful, viable puppies.

Raising a family pet and raising a future guide dog are both great adventures, but the first year of a guide dog puppy’s life is usually much more eventful than that of an average pet. This period is not only about an adorable, but well-behaved puppy also growing up — it is about laying the

This week, Topáz’s puppies are moving to their puppy-raiser homes, as they are all ready for the transition. Before that, in the rainy weather, what else could they do but happily run around the garden, muddy from head to toe. Alongside this joyful news, we must also share a sad one. This week, we said

Topáz’s puppies enthusiastically threw themselves into challenging, playful tasks: at seven weeks old, we conducted their first puppy test. We spoke with our puppy foster coordinator about how she finds matches between foster families and puppies. Guide dog training organizations, including the Baráthegyi Guide Dog School, conduct a brief but comprehensive test series with puppies

In the blink of an eye, they understood that the one who sits down nicely gets the reward. Of course, some tried to get back in line more than once… Topáz’s puppies are now 7 weeks old, and why wouldn’t they have grown up with a bit of cunning? Topáz’s 7-week-old puppies already weigh 5

The most natural environment for dogs is still the forest. This sounds good, but is it really true? Yes, because in the forest there are no rules to follow like in the city: they can step off the small path, there are no curbs, and they get plenty of new experiences. Two of our experienced

There’s a lot of good we can say about Topaz’s litter: they are consistent as a group — meaning they’re smart, beautiful, big, and calm. According to their caretaker, all of this together is an excellent foundation. And they even have a special trait: they are very “people-oriented.” The puppies, now six weeks old, moved
