Working dogs like guide dogs form a unique relationship with their handlers.

Guide dogs serve an important role in the independence they create for their blind handlers. While these pooches are on duty 24 hours each day they are working dogs and they love to do what they are trained and bred to do.

Working dogs that serve as guide dogs are usually Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and German Shepherds because the traits these breeds possess such as intelligence, strength, good health, stamina, and initiative make them effective service dogs.

Often guide dogs begin training as early as 6 weeks. After the first year with a puppy walker, the young dog is taken back to the training center and by age two, if the canine meets specific qualifications, is able to begin work and life with its new owner. These working dogs generally work for about eight years and then retire.
