Does everyone know about guide dogs? They are dogs specially designed to serve the blind. They are very smart. When many people buy dogs, they want to buy something like a guide dog. Many people want to know what kind of dog a guide dog is. Let’s find out together!
The main breeds of guide dogs are Labradors and Golden Retrievers. Dogs used to guide the blind will enter the basic training period 2 months after birth. Most guide dog puppies are selected from the original family of the dog owner, and the original owner conducts preliminary basic training.
Labrador is the most common breed of guide dog, which can also be seen in some movies and TV series, such as "Guide Dog Little Q". The reason why Labrador is the main breed of guide dog is because this kind of dog has more potential to be trained to be well-behaved, obedient, highly adaptable to the environment, highly obedient, and able to withstand sudden situations from the outside world.
In addition to Labradors, golden retrievers and German shepherds also have potential. The German Shepherd is the most common breed of police dog and military dog, and its ability and obedience go without saying. However, because it is shaped like a wolf and its appearance is a bit too "ferocious", if it is used as a guide dog walking on the street, it may frighten some people who do not know the truth.
Although Labrador is the most common breed of guide dog, not all Labradors are guide dogs. The screening and training of guide dogs are very strict and their numbers are very rare. We must cherish and respect them. If you meet a blind person or a guide dog, you should abide by the "Four Don's and One Ask" principle: don't feed, don't touch, don't call, don't refuse, and ask them if they need help depending on the situation.
