Hi, I just read the article that Jackie posted and what is being said about the rescue is ridiculous. First, I would love to know when this woman showed dogs at Westminster? I live in the northeast and I have never heard of her, or seen her name in a Show Catalog and I am sure other active GSD folks up her way have never heard of her either. 2nd the idiot friend of hers who made the remark about the crates, saying she breds rabbits and their crates get dirty in winter is another jackass. Rabbit hutches or crates have a drop floor, so urine and poop run out keeping it away from the rabbit. My house rabbit had this type of crate for easy cleaning. Apparently the properties this person occupied where not fenced were the dogs could go out to relieve themselves and she did not bother to clean the crates. If you cannot take care of them, do not have them and I am sorry if you have to rent another property to hoard dogs, something is very wrong. I will also say as I have said earlier, Charlene is one of the most caring people I know and she will make sure that these animals only receive the best care. Instead of posting things like this, ask the folks who are helping with the rescue and not rely on the crap written in the little local paper.
