I will no longer be updating Iron Guide (see below). Instead, I am now writing at my new, personal blog. Though that will be about some of the newer things I'm doing in life, if you want to see updates about Louie, Lester, and now Dusky, add me on Facebook -- there's enough ridiculously cute pictures to go around.

Louie: Phase III [!!!]


Louie made it to Phase III! And he's still in the breeding program! Brewster and most of his pals are there with him, although it looks like Artemis and a couple others were held back in Phase II. They're meeting up with a new pup, Silvana, who's been in Phase III for four weeks.

Puppy Breed PhaseBreeder Watch Group
Artemis Lab 2 GPS
Beethoven Lab 2
Binny Lab 3 yes
Brewster Lab 3 yes GPS
Fresca Lab 2
Frontier Lab 3
Louie Lab 3 yes GPS
Naoka Lab 3 yes
Nyland Lab 3 yes
Rae Lab 3 yes
Silvana Lab 3
Sport Lab 3


I'll post later on what it means to be in Phase III and being held back in a phase. Lots of dogs get held back, and, although it sucks, it really means that Guide Dogs sees real potential and is trying to work through some issue with the dog. If they didn't see potential, the dog would obviously be dropped from the program.

Still very much rooting for Artemis.
