Attention Fellow Breeders & Fanciers: Your help is urgently needed a legal case that affects all breeders & fanciers in New Jersey & beyond. Local German Shepherd fancier & hobby breeder Danielle Weitz is appealing a decision by the Borough of Franklin Lakes that has the potential to shut down hobby breeders in NJ and across the country. The judge found this hobby breeder guilty based on the following: 1. Guilty of operating a âcommercial businessâ - the prosecutor used the online AKC breeder profile as evidence against her because it states the breeder will provide a âbill of saleâ to a puppy buyer. 2. Guilty of operating a âcommercial kennelâ in a residential neighborhood â    therefore violating local zoning laws. 3. Guilty of âfailure to apply for a commercial kennel licenseâ â there is no way any local home hobby breeder could meet the requirements of commercial kennel licensure ) impervious concrete facility flooring, industrial fire & sprinkler systems, air handling systems, drainage, etc.) ADDITIONALLY â THE JUDGE IMPOSED: A.  Mandatory inspections of her home and dogs every 30 days by health dept officials & animal control. B.  She must prove she is NOT breeding via these inspections. Even selling one puppy through the local paper or online is evidence of operating a âbusinessâ.
