Balfour

Balfour was being raised and trained to provide life-changing independence to someone with a physical disability other than blindness or to work with a professional such as a teacher, psychologist or victim services worker to help support a healthy community.

In January, 2018, Balfour was chosen for his extraordinary health and temperament to join the Assistance Dogs International Breeding Cooperative. His puppies enter our training program or the training programs of other assistance dog schools around the world.

In April 2024, Balfour retired from our breeding program due to an IBD diagnosis. He has settled in well to retirement and we hope that he enjoys the pet life! Thanks to everyone who had a part in Balfour’s journey. All the best to you, Mr. B!
