[nagdu] Eye Dog Foundation.

[Marion Gwizdala]

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
