OccuPaws Dogs are
powered by
The OccuPaws Board
of Directors is proud to introduce to you our
hardworking dogs and puppies in training. It takes
a very special dog to do be a guide dog. All
OccuPaws' dogs undergo extensive health screenings,
temperament testing and must pass the Canine Good
Citizen certification before entering into the Formal
Harness Training phase of the OccuPaws' program.
Breeding Program ROXIE, CGC
OFA Hips Excellent,
Elbows normal , EIC Carrier, ACVO
Roxie is the daughter of our first
breeder dog Dede, whom we have retired to a great
home. Roxie was donated by Ann Garmon of Anthem
Labradors in Harvard. She started out in the home
of puppy raiser Heidi Tanner and then on to raiser John
McCrea for further training. Then on to Doug Weil
for her harness training.
She showed us such good
overall qualities that we decided to keep her back as
our breeder dog. The results are "Deegan" and
"Slick" who are both now working for their
forever families.
Slick is a
Children's Visual Companion Dog for Kaitlyn and
Deegan is a
Guide Dog for Randy.
Roxie's second litter of pups are doing well in the
OccuPaws Puppy Program
as guide dog trainees.
She is now searching for her man-dog to help make more
future guide dogs this fall. Roxie is now living at her forever home with Mark and
Barb Schultze of Cross Plains.

OccuPaws
occasionally accepts
Labrador puppies and young adults that meet our
selection criteria for breed, size, health, and
temperament.
Each dog is given an extensive in-home evaluation, where
it is exposed to children, small animals,other dogs, and typical household activities and
appliances. Dogs and puppies that do not meet our
criteria are placed in suitable pet homes. All
proceeds
obtained from dog adoption fees go directly to OccuPaws.
If you would like
to donate a young dog or puppy to OccuPaws, we would be
happy to assist you. Please note that all donations are
tax deductible.
