Ocean County 4-H Seeing Eye Club - "Puppy Power" is a group of
Ocean
County, NJ, 4-H volunteers that raise puppies for The
Seeing Eye, where dogs are trained to guide the blind. We range
in age from 4th grade to Seniors, but regardless of our age we all
have the same
goal: to raise the best Seeing Eye puppy we can. |
|
The specially bred puppies, German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, and Golden Retrievers, are born at The Seeing Eye's breeding station. When the pups are brought to us, they are only 7 weeks old. It is our job
to teach them basic obedience, give them social exposure, and most
importantly, give them lots of love. When the puppies reach the
age of 13 - 15 months, they are called back to The Seeing Eye in
Morristown, NJ to start their formal training as a dog guide. |
