I've got a friend who raises guide dog puppies. From about 8 weeks to one year. The dog is trained and evaluated, and if it has what it takes, it goes on to "guide dog college."
If the dog does not have what it takes, then the dog gets a "career change," and becomes somebody's pet. For a donation to the non-profit (the folks who train these dogs), those dogs can be bought. They are NICE dogs, since they have been trained and handled for one year by folks who understand dog training.
