From Sheila who has Justice, the Guide Dogs of America Puppy, out of Jake and Ulrika, 2009.

Hi Elizabeth,

Well, Justice continues to impress me but more importantly, she continues to impress the “powers that be” at Guide Dogs of America. She was in recently for a check up and evaluation and when I came to pick her up, I was told, “she blew us out of the water!” She was given an obidence/temperament test by two separate trainers and they were thoroughly impressed! I’ve said this before and I will say it again, GDA loves her. She adapts very well to situations that might otherwise stress the dogs – particularly other GSD that have been in the program. Here we are 14 months later (she is now 16 mos old) and Justice is still going strong! She remains the ONLY GSD in the Guide Dogs of America program. (The other two GSD that were in the program when she arrived at 8 weeks old were “dropped” only a short time later.)

I will continue to update you on her progress and success in the guide dog program.

Take care and Happy Spring!

Sheila
