Domestic guide dog prices introduce the most common guide dog is generally a Labrador, followed by a Golden Retriever. The vast majority of guide dogs come from puppies born in guide dog schools with excellent pedigrees. Guide dogs in China are free of charge and are donated to the visually impaired as long as the blind can apply for one. However, the reality is that because of the specialized, long and costly nature of guide dog training, it costs at least 130,000 RMB to train a guide dog. With no money to recover, China’s first guide dog training charity, China Guide Dogs Dalian Training Base, is in dire straits and can only provide 20 guide dogs to thousands of visually impaired people nationwide each year. The biggest problem facing the base is funding. Each guide dog costs 120,000 to 150,000 yuan to train, which includes the salaries of the base’s 21 staff members, dog food, medicine, plus office and travel expenses. The annual expenses of the base are all over 1.3 million yuan. However, because it is a public welfare organization, the base’s income is very limited, relying mainly on annual donations ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan, as well as government subsidies. For the first time, the city of Dalian provided a one-time financial subsidy of 960,000 yuan to the base, and promised to “subsidize 60,000 yuan for training a successful guide dog”. In addition, the lack of relevant regulations over the years has made it difficult for domestic guide dogs to ride in cars and enter doors, making it difficult to provide comprehensive assistance to the blind.
