Could be...guess it depends on who's telling the tale. My friend told me about
the grass and the snake, tho.........and about a litter in a laundry
basket.....(remember, these were chihuahuas...a laundry basket could have been
the perfect thing.
I've known people with Yorkies who whelp their bitches on towels in a laundry
basket............)

I agree,Peggy, that there have been too many "raids" on kennels (or even
private houses with a few showdogs!) that were for the headlines and to speed
passage of presented bills. I wasn't there, but did read about 7 accounts of
the raid.. for a change all not from the same source! This MAY be one of the
instances where the raid was justified. I'm not even saying that keeping one
of those "teacup" chihuahuas or two in a birdcage is horrible. But some of the
descriptions of the house would make me hope they didn't have children living
there, too (I think they did). Maybe there will be some video... I know one of
the accounts that I forwarded was from a local T.V. station.

Last year a kennel in this part of the country was shut down strictly
for numbers too, with the owners quite elderly but very capable of taking
care of the dogs, each of which were in great condition, too.
Sounds like the ARistas are busy...it is no longer enough to take good
care of your animals, keep them clean, healthy, well-adjusted, utd on
shots,
etc., you can't have a number that somebody has decided is too many. If
the kennel under discussion (70 dogs in the Chicago area), these were 70
Chihuahuas...........not like 70 Corgis or German Shepherds...........
many of the Chihuahua people I know routinely keep 30 to 50 dogs.......and
if the owner keeps all the oldies, I can see that number being 70 very
easily.
Surely, if the dogs are well cared for, it is wrong to shut them down.
