Not sure why she locked the thread, hope it wasn't because of me. I was just making friendly conversation

Thanks Tessa, we've been throwing the idea of one of them around, my only real concern is getting a short hair dog. I don't want her service dog to require more effort to care for than what she gets from it. I know how yucky it is to have a medium sized dog blowing it's coat all over, a large dog would be even worse (and I can't even imagine how you deal with Wash's coat!)

WHY ARE YOU ALL ASSHOLES?! GOD!

seriously, the best bet for this is to go to the spca, tell them what you want the dog to do and let them call you when a dog with the right temperament comes in. because breed isn't going to get you anywhere. most large service dogs are labs. why? there's so goddamn many of them. maybe 2% of every lab on this planet is a service dog. consider that and stop being stupid about wanting to train your own.

It was an honest question. Most people don't know the first thing about training service animals.

well you do have to train a service dog NOT to act anything like a normal dog, would think that would be much harder than training it to sit or rollover

Maybe Jezza can latch rollerskates to a sled and adopt a team of huskies to roll her daughter around
