As big (or as little) as any of the non-working breeds that are used for Guidework can get. It all depends on the genetics of the sire and dam. Some of the Guide providers have a minimum and maximum height requirement and any dog over or under is not used for the program. My wifes first Guide was a big 75 lb. Yellow Lab and her current one is a little 50lb. Black Lab. The harnesses that are used have interchangeable handles for different height dogs so the handler can use them comfortably.

Small and noisy dogs bite a lot and big dogs don't bite if you trained them.Either one would be good,but I would go with a big dog that bites people I don't like. the dog needs to be medium to large in sized. the dog must not bite and well behaved The Guide dogs under go a lot of training and you certainly would not want one that bit people. Good grief. They are to be well mannered and well behaved.
