After the First World War, many of the veterans were returning home after having lost their sight due to war injuries. The idea to begin training Alsatians to "help" these veterans re-assimilate back into society was born. I believe the first Alsatians were trained in England, and the training of dogs for guide duties was such a success, the concept spread to other countries.
Other breeds have been tried and the best successes have been with the Shephard and the Labrador Retreiver.
A new school was started in Quebec several years ago with a breeding program which crossed the Lab with the Burmese Mountain Dog in an effort to attain the best traits from both breeds to create the best guide dog.
