The school near CTH is Guide Dogs for the Blind, the group that put out the
notice.
When I still worked with the puppy raisers in Santa Rosa they had a Durango
son who they complained was going to be too large. Then suddenly they wanted
him for a client who was very tall and whose dog had just died. That Durango
son went through training in about 28 days and left with the very tall handler.
They spent a lot of time talking about how incredible the dog was. In all
honesty, he was able to go through quickly because the handler was expert and
was able to get right in with the pogram. They had quite a few CTH dogs or dogs
sired by CTH dogs in the program, but they got in some new "experts" who were
invested in doing their own breeding program and creating the "perfect" dog.
These days the "perfect" dog is a very different beast fom what was "perfect"
when the programs started.

OH MY---this just makes me sick. I would be so interested in knowing THE
COMPLETE stats as to why they made this decision. Yes! temperament is a
large part but was there trouble with other issues. Concentration,
loyalty,trainabilty etc.. The GSDCA needs this info. Kathy can you get
info on their breeding program so we might try to understand this?!
I sent a monorchid there about 45 years ago and he made it. I know Cappy
and Gloria got 3 or 4 Blues when they bred to Judd and they sent them to the
guide dog school in CA. (getting old cannot remember the name) and I never
heard they did not make it.
This is pretty disgraceful. First Lady of The Seeing Eye was about 3/4 GSD
and what a wonderful animal she was.
We had better take notice of this and not just blow it off. Need more
info. Sandi
