Kaylee and her Golden-girls

Kaylee and her 6 Golden-girls are loving life in the GDB whelping kennel. They are all growing big fast, and the kennel reports that she's been a good mom. Today they are just reaching 3 weeks old, and we're looking forward to visiting them in the puppy kennel once they turn 6 weeks old. Keep those good thoughts and prayers headed their way as they dream of their future lives as either working guide dogs and/or breeders.

New Litter for Kaylee

We're excited to announce Kaylee's first litter for Guide Dogs for the Blind. Her new puppies, 6 females, where whelped on Sunday, September 6th, and the Kennel reports that she is doing a good job as a new mom. We're hoping to visit with the new litter once they get down to the Puppy Kennel, usually at around 6 weeks of age, and then hope that it's Kaylee's time to return home.

Keep those good thoughts and prayers headed Kaylee's way as she helps her new puppies begin their lives as future guide dogs, or even as future breeders.
