[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

I was very interested in your message about matching guidedogs to
perspective owners. AS a guidedog user, currently on my second dog but
not going back to where Igot her, I'm trying to get information on any
and all schools available to me. Iliked what you said, but, and I hope
Idon't offend you, Leader, for whom Isuspect you work, has had a pretty
shaky reputation among a lot of guidedog users. Imean, there have been a
number of teams from there that haven't worked out too well. They had a
reputation for big classses and high student to instructor ratios. I'm
not trying to inslt you, as Isaid, but I am really looking for
information from schools, what breeds they have, how they match, success
or return rates etc. Has leader turned its program around in recent
years? Did Ihave a misimpression of problems they had before? Any
informatation you care to pass along would be greatly appreciated.
