Proud to announce the pairing of Operational Stress Intervention dog, Beacon. Beacon was paired with @SaanichPolice and is another way we've been able to support the service from the trauma endured following the attempted bank robbery: timescolonist.com/local-news… @ABGuideDogs

A lovely evening for a #WinterWonderland evening stroll, wouldn't you say Minnie and Irene? Thank you Puppy Raiser Debbi for capturing this week's photo. #PuppyPawsitive #PuppyPawsitivity #BCandAlbertaGuideDogs #PuppyInTraining

We are happy to announce that the lovely Patricia has had her first litter!! Four puppies: two boys and two girls, one of each colour. We’d also like to share that Dougie, who you may have followed through #PuppySponsorship, has now made his official "Daddy Debut" as stud dog.
Patricia is a black Labrador who is nursing her four little puppies in the whelping box. The puppies are alternating colours: yellow and black. In the corner is a photo of Dougie with the caption “Dougie’s Daddy Debut!” and he has a big smile!

Gwinna had her puppies! She came to us from @GDB_official & was bred with Felix. 4 yellow, 2 black, and… Yes! You spotted correctly! One wee chocolate Lab in the mix. Look out for a few of these cuties joining #PuppySponsorship in DEC - a ‘paw’fect gift idea! #PuppyPawsitive
Gwinna is a beautiful black Labrador and has 7 puppies nursing: 4 yellow, 2 black, and one little chocolate pup. There is also a close up photo of a sleeping puppy snuggled into a fleece blanket; a puppy sleeping on its back with one paw in the air; and a photo of puppies asleep, cuddled up together, and showing their bellies.
