[Cagdu] guide dog puppies

[robert stigile]

Hello Ken,
Can you explain a little more?
Yes, the puppies are not given the same rights as trained guides.
If a business wants to tell the puppy raiser, that they do not 
want it in they have that right.
I have not seen this take place in a long time, but it can and 
there is nothing that a puppy raiser can do.
A long time ago, the MTA in Los Angeles wouldn't let puppy 
raisers bring the dog on the bus, but after many hours of 
explaining how it can benefit, there is not an issue now.
You might want to consider a resolution about this, so that the 
NFBC can work to change this.
Good luck,
