On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show on Vision Australia Radio, we’re wrapping up our busy July with guest Thayana Mubila who is a Seeing Eye Dogs handler to Shaylah, and ambassador from the Petbarn Foundation Seeing Eye Dogs Appeal campaign.

Then, Harriet is joined by Aunty Julieanne Axford Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung elder whose grandkids Bela and Levi named NAIDOC puppies in 2023. Aunty Julieanne is joining us to talk about the meaning and significance of NAIDOC week which in 2024 was 7 July 2024 – Sun, 14 July. Then I’m going to play the names of the 2024 NAIDOC named puppies, and a repeat of the 2023 names which were chosen by Julieanne’s family.

Puppy carer story: Jane

On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show, Harriet Moffat is joined by Kathryn and Neil Archibald talking about the life of Hattie a newly retired breeder. We also chat about their lives as part of the carer community, the role of a breeder carer, caring for a puppy and breeder at the same time and what is means to adopt the breeder you’ve cared for after 5 years on Seeing Eye Dogs programs.

To create the next generation of Seeing Eye Dogs, a selection of our best and brightest dogs are chosen to become breeding dogs. These exceptional dogs require a loving home full-time for the duration of their breeding career, returning to the Seeing Eye Dogs kennel facility in Kensington, VIC for breeding activities.

Our male and female breeding dogs need homes from around the age of 12 months and could be in the program for a few months to a number of years, depending on the dog. We're now looking for breeder carers in parts of Victoria listed on our website: https://sed.visionaustralia.org/volunteer/breeding-dog
