Job title:Seeing Eye Dogs breeding dog
What's up dog?
She represents Seeing Eye Dogs so well in public and is going to pass on some great genetics to hopefully produce more working Seeing Eye Dogs for Australians who are blind or have low vision. She also comes with me everywhere and I love having her companionship as her breeder carer. She tries really hard and enjoys 'working'. She also comes with me to my multiple workplaces, catch ups with friends, sport and even errands like grocery shopping and brings smiles to everyone we meet.
