On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show, Harriet talks with Seeing Eye Dogs Veterinary and Reproduction Manager Dr Nicola Cotton about breeding program strategy and exciting new building works at Seeing Eye Dog kennels in Kensington. We cover a lot of interesting behind the scenes around selecting the breeding dogs from our program, how they decide the best pairings to create future seeing eye dogs, and how we use science and data plus trends to produce Seeing Eye Dogs that meet the changing needs of our clients and their environments.

Then Dr Nicola tells us about the renovation project at Seeing Eye Dogs' site in Kensington. We talk about the ‘boarding centre renovation’ and the plans for some new purpose built kennels being built.
