I am sorry if you have gotten this already from another list. I am
also sorry if I should not post this here.
If any one knows other boards that they feel could be of help please
forward to them.
Dear Group Users;
I am writing to you in a quest to find a special girl for a very
special career (Guide Work). I had E-Mailed some of these lists
before with very little detail of what and why I was looking for this
special k9. I guest I will start off saying that I am a 25 year old
male that lives in the state of Massauchetts and that I myself am
visually challenged. I and my sister founded a non-profit
organization for the blind. I am going to be attending UMass Boston
CPCS in January in the area of Human Services (Rehab Teaching for the
Blind). I have in the past worked in a puppy day care in the state of
RI. I have also have had dogs in my life for some years now. I have
also volunteered for an organization in RI that was for animals for a
number of years prior to moving to Mass. To be up-font I don't have
the resources for the cost of some of the GSDies that I would be
horned to have as my guide. I am a positive dog trainer. I have not
trained that many dogs but I have been told by many that I have a way
with them. I love being around this great creators of mother natures,
and working with them. I have found my self to be bios to German /
Czech GSD ?º
Ok now I will tell you about the two dogs that have made a big
different in my life. First is a GSD that I raised from 8 weeks to
she was 2 years old. Once she was two years old I donated her to an
orgs which then went to an organization in CT area. This girl was a
very well tempered, and very sound structured (she has excellent hips)
GSD. She was raised to be come a working dog of some sort and she
ended up become an S&R in the country of Turkey. (I am a very proud
daddy of this girl saving others lives.) I at the same time applied
for a dog guide from a school (I will not state which school for their
sake). Well I received a little before 2 year old girl (with nearly
normal hips). After having her for a year or so I had a feeling that
some thing was wrong with her walking and it was put on to my
positioning by the school, so I fixed myself by correcting what I was
told was being done. Well I know at this time that it would take a
little while for her to straighten up again so about one and half
years gone by and I once again told them that she was still walking
not straight and that some things is wrong with her. So they sent
someone out to look at her and he said she was fine and gave me a
different harness handle to have her a little away from me so I did
not feel as if I was walking on her. Well it still continued, I
finally had a vet appointment coming up and had them do a hip x-rays
on her and not to my surprise she had hip issues (displaysionar and
arthritis). Well I have high standards when it comes to working a k9
when they don't pick the job (Us humans do). So I decided that
retiring her would be the best thing for her, which was against what
the schools wanted to do which was to put her on drugs (remodel) and
have her to work for some more years. I am not the only one that had
problems with them. I contacted other schools to see what they would
do and they agreed with me in my decision. I did have her on two
drugs for short time frame and had adverse effects (she went to the
bathroom while laying down three times in a 10min time, and upper IG
issue) The nice thing is that she lives with people I know so I can
see her. (To show how much I care for my babies, I had them sign a
very strong contract, from having her be over weight to vet care. Also
if they didn't follow the agreement then I could remove her.) She now
helps with two children that are mentally challenged. Of which one is
deaf, helping with breaking down communications.
Well to get to the point for my posting.
I am looking for someone that has a special female that is in the age
range of 4 months ¡V 18 months old. I know there is a wide range here.
Now I should say I prefer that she be in the age range of 12-16
months old for two main reasons. First being that I would have a
better chance of getting a girl that has good or better hips in a
prelim and second I can start training here right away. I prefer
German or Czech GSDies over the American breed. I am looking for a
Shepard that is smart, is good at problem solving, and also has a good
temperament that can handle stress and recover from it quick. She has
to be able to be around other animals and children. I also would love
for her to like playing but is serious when she needs to be. Her pray
drive can be about a medium - low. She needs to be about 22 to 26
inch from shoulder blades. I would like her not to be over 70 lbs but
I am not locked in to this. So I am up-font I don't have much in the
sources of funds. My parents are giving me some money (I don't know
how much through yet) to assist in getting her for me for Christmas /
birthday [ two days after :-( ]. I am able to do payment for a
number of months if this is able to be done. I do have a stable
income to support her and myself as I have done this for over three
years with Brooklynne the guide.
If there is someone that is willing to donate this special girl this
would be the most ideal for me. I also have to still buy a number of
things that normally don't need to have for a companion like harness /
harness handle, raised food dishes, vest to start off with, and other
odds and ends that are needed. (When I retired Brooklynne I gave all
of her stuff to the family that toke her in)
Any one that has a girl that fits this bill and lives in or near New
England, and would like to assist me in my quest to find this special
girl please contact me at:
Voice Phone: 617-481-5353
E-Mail me at: spiritssight @ yahoo . com
I am not sure of what else to say, if you have any question please do
ask me. Once again please contact me off the list. I will post to
the list with the progress of my quest and once I have found her I
will also post on her training and how she is doing.
Thanks You;
CE
