Champ with his puppy raiser, Kathy and some adorable photos of him with her grandkids.

These are the last few weeks that Kathy and Champ are together as he will head to HQ in Cork soon for formal training.

It must be very difficult to say goodbye to such a gorgeous dog. Well done on raising a fabulous puppy Kathy!

Champ has been moved to the Guide Dog Programme and away from the Assistance Dog programme (for a child with autism) because of the strong levels of confidence he has begun to display! He's making excellent progress and he is displaying all the rights traits to be good Guide Dog. Well done Champ! We're proud of you :)

What they did next. A little update on our sponsored Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind. We're proud to say...

Hank (left) is an Assistance Dog for a family of a child with autism in Cork;

Izzy (middle) is a Guide Dog based in Cork and

Champ (right) is a Guide Dog based in County Louth.

We're so pleased to be sponsoring such a life changing charity.

So pleased in fact that we are going to sponsor 3 more puppies this year!

Watch this space for full announcement (and cute photos!) very soon.
