Well, Danielle, I wish you luck at your appeal. It's no secret that I went through the same thing (and paid for it all myself) first with the Township of Howell, NJ, and then before the Supreme Court. I lived on 4 acres on a road that was zoned Agricultural/Residential, and the town said I was running a business, and then the Supreme Court agreed. I then moved to West Virginia, where I can still do pretty much anything I want (as far as breeding, showing, and selling dogs). Neither the Township of Howell, NJ nor the Supreme Court in NJ cared about my "credentials" in the dog world. I did contact the NJ Dog Federation about this, but never heard back from them. All this happened about 6 years ago, and dragged on for a couple of more years.

In 2008 we had the number 4 bitch in the Redbook for Futurity points. If this ruling stands it will affect every person in the State of NJ who were to breed their dog and even sell one pup. If it stands in NJ it will surely be picked up by other states and could move across the country quite easily. We were never charged with cruelty or abuse only because we had a litter of pups. Anyone not believing it was that simple is welcome to copies of the transcripts. The President of the NJ Federation of Dog Clubs, an NAIA representative and the American Rottweiler Assoc., GSD people and people who simply understand this situation have been at every court date with us along with others who understand the implications of this, as well as, those who know we are and are hiding nothing. We're going into year four of this. Anyone wishing to make a donation to our legal defense fund to help every breeder in New Jersey may make it at www.njvsdogs.com Thank you to those who have supported us throughout this and please pray we get it overturned. Any naysayers, that is to say, people who don't understand the importance of this are welcome to contact me. I am sure that people who have known me for many years will be happy to vouch for us.
