The GSD has EPI, but it is under control with no side effects.
The GSD is from the same West German, DDR and Czech bloodlines as my dog.
The dog is located north of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Here is the post from the owner of the dog and our breeder Lynn Fisher:
"Hi, all:
Greta is her name, and she is about 15 months old, around 65-70 lb. She has a great personality for children, is housebroken, very obedient and intelligent. She is doing very well on the enzymes and has no other special needs or complications at all. She is a great dog that we would like to see go to a good home that can spend more time with her then we are able to now. I am posting some photos we took of her today.
She is free, and we will pass along 3 months worth of enzymes (typical cost via the mail order site is about $30/month), no special food needed (vet told us to use Iams adult mini-chunks, not large-breed), and we can donate her crate as well to the interested family. Please spread the word; thank you. Stephanie's cell phone is 513-405-1768.
Thanks much,
Stephanie Heid"
I'll post pictures of Greta.

I cannot take her as I have the limit of dogs to care for myself.

I've been following this dog for several months.
I'm not asking questions and trying not to judge.
I will say the dogs from our breeder are healthy, excellent, balanced, high drive, working-line GSD's.
I would expect nothing less...
This is the only dog with EPI she's ever breed and that's 30 years of breeding GSD's.

She has been considering getting another GSD, I don't know how she will feel about taking on one with a life long health issue. I will ask her if she is interested, she is a very wonderful dog owner.
Is she spayed yet? That would be a big bonus if she is. How does she do with other dogs?

The only problem with an EPI dog are the stupid vets!!!! Been there and seen that which is so sad. Could tell so many stories about what I had to do to get what I needed from vets for my dog. I know sooooooo much more. Very very sad.

Greta is spayed and the owners have an older Lab Retriever.
I think it would be safe to say she's good with other dogs.
I've followed Greta since she was 8 weeks old and her EPI is completely under control.
The EPI did not show up until a few months ago and was quickly diagnosed and treated.
She is a normal GSD in everyway, except for the enzymes on her food.
