Central City featured in adventures with virtual dog, Breckenridge Central City had one real dog preparing for the virtual tour of historic places in Colorado. Folks who wish to take a dog awareness adventure with Tails on Trails and for those registered with Canine Partners of the Rockies Tails on Trails 2020, may select a virtual dog to complete some of the activities together. Breckenridge is a large white dog, only seven months old, learning to be a service dog. He came to Central City this past Sunday to take photos as a virtual dog for Tails on Trails. His puppy training family brought him to historic Central City. Breckenridge came to Central City with his mentor Pilon (named for a professor at Colorado State University) who has been in service four years with an autistic grandchild of this puppy training family. Breckenridge has two sibling litter mates, Frisco and Vail who are also currently in puppy training in Colorado. Canine Partners of the Rockies has been supporting assist dogs in Colorado for 18 years. CPRockies is exclusive to Colorado. All their service dogs are raised, trained and placed as assist dogs with Colorado partners in need of an extra paw. It can cost $60,000 to prepare and follow for the life of each dog. 100% of the dogs placed as partners are successful in that partnership for the rest of the dog’s life. CPRockies names each of their dogs for people and places in Colorado. The dogs are all raised in Colorado from puppies, by puppy trainers to become service dogs. Puppy training can take between 18 and 24 months. Once a dog is matched to an individual with unique needs, approximately 6 months of advanced training prepares them for the specific services their new partner needs them to complete. You find the most interesting characters walking the Central City streets this summer!
