I have a lot of mixed emotions right now. I know that its a great honor to have a dog chosen as a breeder, but really and truly I had nothing to do with her temperament. GDF really needs to be patting themselves on the back for breeding her parents!
In the long term, I know she will go far above that which she would be as a guide dog.
Maybe I"m just weird...or just jealous that someone else gets to love her like she's a plain ol' dog.
But whatever the case, I'm proud of her, she was a great dog! I can't wait to see/hear about her puppies!!
And no I will most likely not get to raise one of her pups. Which is another disappointment. But ah well!
I have to wait three months before I can contact her new people to see how she's doing! But I will fill you guys in of course!!

IMO It's an honor!
Great!!!
I am told that a breeder is a higher step than being a guide.
Go Midnight!!!

Congrats! That's so awesome!
You aren't weird, I know exactly how you feel. Having a your pup go in to the breeding program just isn't the same as seeing them placed with a client, but it is a honor and in the end it is totally worth it. Who knows, maybe you can raise one of Midnight's puppies.
IMO It's an honor!
