Guide Dogs for the blind

That would be a good one because I saw somewhere that there is a ‘Golden
Retriever Day’ some time in February, and aren’t they used as Guide Dogs? Or am I getting my doggie facts wrong? @DemelzaDesigns
Yes, golden retrieves are trained to be guide dogs. They bread the dogs and have currently being campaigning for puppy homes for their first year to became used to living in a home environment. They also start their training during this time. It costs thousands of pounds to train each dog. Since covid they have been hit hard financially trying to keep up with the rising costs to train them. These dogs are unbelievable and give blind people a complete life changing experience in their daily living and there is a long waiting list to get a blind dog.

Feel ridiculous asking this but… do i put the tag in the description or in the tag section? Thanks 
As a tag, in the tag section

Yes in the tags (it’ll pick up tags from the tag section, materials or colour).
If you’ve got a violet purple item, edit the listing, put violet in either the tag section or colour section, and then on the 21st that item will be included in the theme.
You just need to make sure you get it exactly the same, as items with the tag violet purple wouldn’t be picked up for violet, and items with the tag plant pots wouldn’t be picked up for plant pot.
