So, after emailing wkd over the weekend, they promptly replied to say that they have got two puppies waiting for walkers!
They are both male German Shepherds. One is 12 weeks old and the other is 16 weeks.
I emailed over some more info about ourselves and said we were interested. We received an email back saying that we sounded ideal and inviting us to call and have a chat.
So today, Jay & I chatted with Matt and agreed for him to bring both pups over on Wednesday evening to meet us. If they are happy with us and we are happy to go ahead, we will be able to choose a pup!
I am incredibly excited and have lots and lots of questions so here's hoping all goes well on Wednesday and we can get started on the road to successfully raising service puppies.
I don't know yet if we would keep this particular pup until he is 6 months or 12 months old because the age that the pup goes back for formal training seems to differ between police dogs and guide dogs. Will find out on Wednesday :o)
Hope to have pics to post in a couple days. It feels like waiting for Christmas!!!
