References to guide dogs date at least as far back as the mid-18th century, but I cannot find any history about it.

The first guide Dog Training schools were established in Germany during World War I, to enhance the mobility of returning veterans who were blinded in combat. The United States followed suit in 1929.

The first guide dogs in Britain were handed over to their new owners, on the 6th October 1931.
The first guide dog was trained at least as long ago as the middle ages and probably before that as evidenced by woodcuts depicting dogs guiding the blind.

The first modern guide dogs, what we now think of as guide dogs, were trained during and after WWI in response to the need for guides for soldiers blinded in the war. "Buddy" the guide of Frank Morris was the first Seeing Eye dog, which was founded in 1929. The Seeing Eye is the oldest guide dog school still in operation.
After WWI, there was a surplus of Military German Shepard's. Many of the battle wounded soldiers began using them.

In 1927 Seeing Eye, in the US was born.
Guide dogs of some sort have been in use for thousands of years. Guide dogs in their "modern" form were introduced after WWI when returning soldiers needed this type of assistance on a large enough scale to make mass production a necessity.

The oldest guide dog school still in operation, the Seeing Eye, was based on the German model developed for WWI vets.
While assisting dogs have been used in one form or another for many centuries, what we now know as the guide dog was first developed to assist WWI soldiers who returned from the war blind.

The Seeing Eye is the oldest guide dog school still in operation. They were founded in 1929, based on a program in Switzerland that no longer exists.
the guide or several normal types of dogs were domesticated even back in BC'S, the early men used them as guards to protect them from wild animals and also they cleaned up the area by eating all the leftover foods of the humans.
Guide dogs have been around for over an eon.

The Seeing Eye (largest and oldest guide dog school still in operation), was founded in 1929.
Officially, in Switzerland after WWI. They were brought into the USA in 1929. Unofficially, for thousands of years.
I think Jagex released them in 2006.
After WW1, guide dogs started being trained for veterans who had lost their vision in the war. This was in Switzerland. From this, The Seeing Eye (now located in Morristown, NJ) was formed in 1929.

Copied and pasted to conserve typing:

Labradoodles were originally bred as guide dogs in Victoria, Australia in the year 1988 by the Royal Guide Dogs. A blind woman in Hawaii had a husband that was allergic to dog hair (not dandruff, Labradoodles of the curly variety are non-allergenic for people that are allergic to dog hair only) and she requested a guide dog. Three generations of Labradoodles were bred at first, and a surprising 29 out of the 31 dogs bred became guide dogs. Rutland Manor in Darnum, Victoria and Teagan Park in Seaspray, Victoria were later founded to research and continue the breed.
