At least change the subject line? Susan Casey Erynbrook German Shepherds Front Range German Shepherd Rescue Please tell me where we can debate this. I just don't see how any one or even two people can possibly give 32+ dogs the proper care lest not even get into quality. Yes if you are running a kennel and have help ( a crew) come in, it may be possible. But honestly how do you groom (including cleaning of teeth, ears, bathing, nails, brushing excetra), train and give attention to that many dogs? When someone finds out please let me know so I can see how they pull a rabbit out of their hat! Let me see, 32 dogs, that means you can not spend even one hour in a 24 hour day with each. Do the math, no one person can do this on their own. What does clean mean? Yes runs that are free from urine and stool, but what about the walls of the area? How about the animal being clean, doesn't that count? Then there is the bedding or are we even giving that to them? I just don't see how it is possible for two people to care for this many dogs, I don't care what breed they are.
