The type of coat on the dog does not affect it's behavior. Guiding Eyes for the blind has German Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers, but around 95% of their dogs are Labradors, of varying hair types. Not all dogs in these breeds have the mentality for guide work, but they have shown stronger guide dog traits than other breeds.
