Liebe Andrea (G.)  Dear Andrea,
 
Dieser heisst Herr Edw Lipinski.  (G.) This is Mr. Edw Lipinski.  Es fruet
mich vielmals dass Sie ja Deutsch sprechen kann.  I'm pleased very much
that you speak (and read) German.  So do I.
 
When in Berlin you may wish to contact the German ferret club in that great
city.  Last I heard they called themselves: Berliner Frettchenverein.  (G.)
Berlin ferret club.
 
Also if you wish you may avail yourself of the gernerosity and guidance
of my duaghter's new Schwiegermutter (G.) Mother-in-law, Frau Dagmar
Fast-Junghans, and her husband Klaus and/or their English speaking son,
Claas Junghans.  Their address is Poossweg 17, 14163, Berlin, Germany.
Look them up in the Berlin phone book and give them a call.  Perhaps they
may be able to highlight your visit if they are not at their summer place
in Sweden.
 
Your ferret "Iggi" you say may be a bulldog/German ferret
genotype/phenotype.  If you contact the Berliner Frettchenverein you
could compare "Iggi's" likeness to the German ferrets you'd likely see
there in Berlin.  Then you'd know.  By the way what are his attributes:
body length, (excluding tail), height at shoulder, and weight in lbs and
oz?  What's his primary diet?  And treats?
 
Glueck auf!(G.) Good Luck!
