my retriever who died a few weeks ago was blind, and my sheltie is nearly blind.
dont be afraid to take on a blind dog. if you dont move the furniture, and keep doors open or closed, they get to know where everything is very quickly. I taught her to open her mouth for a treat, so she didnt take my fingers off lol. she was taught to stop, turn left and right on the lead. they are a delight.

When I had my pugs several years ago we were given a 5yr old pug by the breeders son after she passed away. He said "here, find her a home or keep her for yourself. Nobody will want to buy a dog this old" I couldn't believe he said that. Well long story short, we kept her and she ended up going blind. I read somewhere that if you have stairs to use different scents to mark the stairs. I did that and it really worked and after a little bit I didn't need to use the scents, she navigated that backyard as if she could see every inch of it.

I have one full blind and one on the way so any additional reading will help. Hopefully I can find on ibooks so can read on my ipad!

My friend is a blind dog owner. Normal people should be thankful that they can see but they should be also envy because the blind can see life more than a 20/20 visioned person can. :)
