Types of Service dogs

[NicoleLJ]

Somebody either doesn't want to find it or is not paying attention. Go back to my first post and punch in the site I gave.
The page opens to a Ger. Shep. in purple flowers
IN THE BEIGE BAR ON THE TOP...PUNCH "DISCUSSION FORUMS"
When the site opens, move down until you come to:
GUIDE,THERAPY ,& SERVICE DOGS. PUNCH ON THAT TITLE.

The page will open to PSD PSYCHIATRIC SERVICE DOG INFO
THERAPY DOG INFO
SERVICE DOG EMAIL LISTS
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS ADA AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
STATE LAW LINKS FOR DSABILITIES ACT
STATE LAWS LINKS FOR SERVICE ANIMALS
IAADP

If someone tells me they can't find this then you simply choose not to find it.
Why keep asking to post links to prove something if it's ignored?
Yes, it is a GSD site, probably because thewre are a lot of GSd's in training for that type of work.
I went to my first post, punched in the link and there it was , so I can't be the only one who found it. Like I said...maybe you don't want to find it because it might prove real facts.

Yup it is the last section of the forum. But like I said this forum is all about GSD's not about Service dogs. It has a small section about Service dogs but it is all about GSDs so if anyone wants to learn the full facts about Service dogs I would not send them to a breed forum. It does not have all the answers. It is very limited in it's info since it is only a breed forum.

Isn't your dog a GSD mix Nicole? GSD's make the best service dogs that I can think of. This is not a breed site, it is a highly respected service dog site put out by GSD people to help others with the facts that I mention. You asked me to post links and when I do, you discourage them.
I intend to go through that site and learn everything I can.
The german shepherd dog was the first dog to become a guide dog for the Morristown institute. Not saying that there are not other great breeds out there, but they have no sites that I know of.

Sheena is a pure bred White shepherd..

Some great information you've supplied us with.


I believe her dog is a pure bred White GSD. Which BTW, I thought of Sheena the other day. This lady had a White GSD at the dog beach I take Kiara and Moo to. Five month old female. Mufasa absolutely loved her. Have pics of the two of them that I need to post sometime.

Can the two of you knock it off now? It's getting quite repetitive and bothersome.

Your welcome. I am very passionate about Service dogs of course. lol. I got more info and links if anyone has any questions.

I hope you post the pics. White Shepherds are my passion. I love all breeds of course but these dogs have a special spot.

You know very well that Sheena is a pure bred.

As for that site just like you are I am a member. It is a breed forum all about GSD's. It is NOT a Service Dog Forum. It only has a small section at teh very bottom about Service dogs. I have no problem about your link but at least be accurate in your portrayal of it.
