We bred Standard Poodles this year and made a donation to a Fine school. 6 puppies will be trained to become Guide dogs. Is it important to breed Standard Poodles in order to better the breed… Temperament, size, color, all of these things are important for the show ring.
Service dogs are just as important? yes or no…

If making labdoodles doesn’t prove the dog wont shed then why make them?
If the blind person cannot see then why not send the school a purebred Black standard poodle with a white goatee?

Yes tests on the poodle breed and EVERY OTHER BREED is soooooooo important! Look at the $20,000.00 that is spent on each dog with their training schools.
Breeding to Standard is important in my book Temperament is No#1 in our home.
Yes we will see early 2010 if our puppies each have their own blind person to Guide.
It must say something about the mixed bred dog if the school we donated to required AKC registration paperwork. Why would another school mix breed dogs if it is proven the oodles and mixpoos shed….. backyard breeders should watch the rescues their puppies are landing in…
Why are mix bred dogs landing in shelters? WHO IS BREEDING THEM?
Breeding dogs … should only be to STANDARD.
We donated this year because we met a woman who uses a Standard Poodle Guide Dog. Allergies demand the purebred Poodle in the work place for guide and service work.
The school we donated to asked us for 6 puppies. we don’t breed for the schools. But , I am sure we will donate again.

what is best for the service dog owner should be what’s best for me and you too?

this is really just a topic…….. answer what you want to answer too…
