Meet Major. Major is in training to become a Diabetic Alert Dog (DAD). DAD's are trained to sense high and low blood sugar levels in diabetics. We were approved to get a DAD for our daughter earlier this year. Major is in training with
Guardian Angel Diabetic Alert Dogs. Normally, service dogs come from reputable breeders, that maintain very high standards. In this particular instance, that is a good thing, as the amount of training these dogs get is astounding. They cost anywhere from $6,500 - $20,000 based on that training, and they are expected to be serving their "person" for a very long time. As such, it becomes very important to know all about the animals history, and to get a guarantee against hip issues, blindness, or other issues that may be prevalent in poor breeding.
