Thank you for the article Marion. I will pass this info to him, and hope he makes a good decision. I don't know him all too well, but I think he was interested in Fidelco, even after he knew of all the current issues. (sigh).

Deanna,
   Due to the issues we are currently having with Fidelco, I would strongly suggest avoiding them, as well. Please read my article in the April Braille Monitor. I think that, if this person really wants a German Shepherd, The Seeing Eye is the best bet for this. I know that GDF is working on returning Shepherds to their training strings (I have their first in more than 20 years and his sister is a breeder), but I am not sure where they are with this right now. This could be an option, though.

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
