This episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show Harriet is joined by breeder and puppy carers Hilary Buchan and Peter Geraerts. In belated recognition of Father’s Day we also wanted to give you some insight into the life of a stud dog at Seeing Eye Dogs and what the life of breeder carers is like. We’re going to introduce you to stud dog Robbie raised and cared for by Hilary and Pete.

In select regions of Victoria, we’re also looking for more people to become breeder carers. It’s the perfect caring option for someone who would prefer to care for an adult dog rather than puppies. Breeder carers care for the dogs in their homes full-time, and transport the dog to the Seeing Eye Dogs kennel facility in Kensington, VIC for breeding activities. Find out about breeder caring here: https://sed.visionaustralia.org/volunteer/breeding-dog

We’re also open for applications now for young people who are blind or have low vision to take part in our 2025 Youth Program. People from 12-18 are interested in finding out about dog guide mobility and enhance their skills can work with their O&M and Seeing Eye Dogs staff to work on their O&M skills and find out what life with a SED is like. Applications for the 2025 Youth Program are open now, so head to our website to find out more at sed.visionaustralia.org/youth-program, email Brooke at Brooke.Anderson@visionaustralia.org or call Seeing Eye Dogs on 1800 037 773.
