Kathy writes "It can be years later, things may have been going swimmingly, cards, e-mails, pics exchanged but all it takes is a raised eyebrow " We have found that our rare "problem" owners pop up when the puppy is maturing. No longer the cute (is anything cuter than a GSD puppy?) little guy but a large dog that they didn't quite get around to obedience training and now shows problems. No amount of screening we have tried has prevented this very occasional problem. But maybe things were meant to work out because so far (knock on wood) the alternate homes we have found for these guys have been great.
