Totally agree, Sandy. I used to live in NY and know Charlene Marchand personally--she was our co-owner when we campaigned BIS Select CH Plainbrownwrapper v Jada-Edan as a special. Charlene is thoughtful, kind, and a TRUE shepherdist. I KNOW THESE THINGS. Her love of our GSDS is what makes her tick--her organization is well-known. Everything she is doing for the dogs that were seized is in the best interests of the animals. I KNOW. Penny in NC The Farm Dog Forever I know for a Fact that some of these dogs were returned to the rightful owners , when the shelter was provided with appropriate documentation to prove ownership Please do not bash this woman and the shelter she works with , they helped clean up the mess this breeders created I don't see anyone else stepping in to help these poor dogs, or to provide a small $ amount to help Charlene Marchand has the best interest of dogs She is one of the kindest people I know I am not local to her area but I am doing my best to help her in any way that I can Instead of finding fault do something positive Sandy Lindsay ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
