[nagdu] Fidelco

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Hi, John Byfield is now with Freedom in Florida.  He left Fidelco I think in 
2008 or 9.  Andy and Shubert.  John was my trainer in 2003 and was the best 
of the best.

John is no longer with Fidelco; he is now with Freedom Guide Dogs. One thing
to consider with Fidelco is that they conduct surprise visits, giving you
only a few minutes notice before they arrive. They also claim you can own
your dog after 6 months; however, they reserve the right to repossess your
dog for any reason at their sole discretion. I have attached a copy of the
Fidelco agreement to this message.

Fraternally yours,

Dear josh,
I don't know if John Byfield is twill with Fidelco or not; I am
thinking not, but their program is small, and they do only home placements,
so I imagine it could take that long to find the right match for you.
Personally, I have seen some excellent dogs from that program, and i
have seen ones with behavior and health problems, but this could occur with
any school.

Is there anyone that has or has had a Fidelco dog? I was wondering how long
it took you to get your dog? I was approved last month, and I understand
that it takes time to find the right match for your placement, but all I am
being told is that it could take six months to a year. Also, if anyone has
any opinions about Fidelco, I would be glad to hear them.

Thanks,
Josh
