What else can I help you with?
How many registered guide dogs are there?
There are too many programs and independent trainers to accurately count how many guide dogs are in place in the world. The most recognized program in the world that trains Guide dogs is the Seeing Eye in Morristown New Jersey. Only dogs trained by the Seeing Eye are properly called "Seeing Eye Dogs." All other dogs trained to guide the blind are called guide dogs. The Seeing Eye reported in their 2007 annual report that they had 1,760 graduate teams in the field.
Where can you buy a guide dog?
Basically, you can't.Guide dogs are trained by charitable programs such as the Seeing Eye, specifically for people who qualify as blind. If you are blind, you apply to a guide dog school and if accepted pay a nominal fee for equipment. Some schools retain ownership of the dog for it's life and it must be returned to them when retired.If you want to adopt a retired guide dog, again, apply at a guide dog school. But these dogs are not sold, just adopted. The waiting lists are typically about three years long and you must pass a rigorous screening to qualify. There are some Guide schools that do not charge anything for either the animal or the equipment, plus cover the costs for the required 28 days of residential training. Some also offer a yearly stipend to help with vet visits and annual vaccinations.There are many organizations that train them for blind individuals. A search on the internet will yield many across the US, I'm assuming there are also similar resources in other countries.Other people owner train guide dogs or arrange private trainers to train the dogs for them or some combination of the two.To get a guide dog you need to be blind or have a severe vision impairment. Guide dogs can be obtained from different foundations (Guide Dog Foundation For The Blink, Royal Society for the Blind, etc.) that breed, raise, and train these magnificent helpers and family canine friends.A person can sign up to get guide dogs from the UK/US Guide Dog website. A person fills out an application, phone consultation is scheduled, a home visit is scheduled, if application is accepted, one begins classes to get paired with a guide dog.There are several organizations world wide, but Guiding Eyes for the Blind is stationed in Yorktown Heights, New York, USA.

Why do people think that dogs are color blind?
People often think dogs are color blind because they see the world differently than humans do. While humans have three types of color receptors (cones) that allow us to perceive a wide range of colors, dogs have only two types, which makes their color vision similar to that of a human with red-green color blindness. This means they primarily see shades of blue and yellow but have difficulty distinguishing between reds and greens. However, dogs are not completely color blind; they simply experience a more limited color palette.
