Broods and Studs

Puppies are not neutered or spayed until they go back to Guiding Eyes. This is because GEB evaluates the dogs and keep the best of the best to carry on their lines and raise future generations of Guide Dogs.

After their IFT they undergo further evaluation, including an extensive medical exam, to determine if they are a suitable candidate for the breeding program. This can be a complicated process where not just the dog is looked at, but their siblings' progress and health is considered as well. If it turns out that they are not a suitable candidate, then they continue on to Guide Dog training.

Meet the Monroe Region dogs that have that special combination of personality, genes, temperament, and training to have gone on to become part of the Breeding Colony at the GEB Canine Development Center. See more of our Broods and Studs on the Retirement and Memoriam pages.
