英國導盲犬協會(Guide Dogs)長期致力於培育和訓練導盲犬,並幫助視障人士配對適合的狗狗。2021年底,協會裡的3歲德國牧羊犬「Unity」產下16隻健康的幼犬,比一般的牧羊犬的平均高出2倍多,更打破導盲犬協會60年來的生育紀錄。協會負責人馬修·博頓利(Matthew Bottomley)表示,這非常不尋常,卻是一份珍貴的贈禮。

這次成功生下這麼多小狗狗,要特別感謝孩子的爸,六歲的黃金獵犬「Trigger」,牠是最多產的狗狗品種之一,曾經和母狗交配產下240隻的幼犬。這些孩子的耳朵像到爸爸,有點垂垂的,而毛色像到媽媽呈現黑色,但也有些小狗狗的腳上和臉部摻雜了一些金黃色毛髮,模樣十分討喜可愛。該組織選擇混種交配,是希望每一隻孩子們都能同時保有德國牧羊犬的忠誠和幹勁,以及黃金獵犬的友善和自信,以利未來訓練成更優秀的導盲犬。

儘管小狗狗目前才剛滿八週大,但牠們都已經離開媽媽的身邊,開始接受初期訓練。協會負責人馬修表示,「工作人員和志工們一直認真的工作,以確保所有的幼犬都能茁壯成長,狗狗們現在已經準備好開始牠們的旅程,致力成為改變視障者生活的導盲犬。」接下來這些孩子們會去各自的照顧志願者家中,逐步學習如何社交、適應新環境和聽從指令,等一年過後,牠們就會開始接受成為導盲犬所需的專業訓練。
