If you weigh having to be inspected monthly, unannounced, no restriction on 
where to inspect, to make sure there isn’t a pup hidden away somewhere… for 
perpetuity…. against this verdict, I would imagine that Danielle feels as if 
she is again free to have her privacy, her dogs and her life back.
AS far as not selling the pups from the house, she hadn’t done that for some 
time before.  This was a draconian, unconstitutional judgement that was 
overturned and we should all be glad that she was brave enough to fight it for 
herself and for us.  

She can still breed dogs.  She doesn’t have to give them away.  She just can’t 
sell them from the house.  In reality, that is a restriction that all 
residential breeders face.  It’s just not enforced.

And finally, it also is an example of how an evil anonymous caller (perhaps a 
club member) can create hell for any breeder.  A call that can turn your life 
upside down.

If all the breeders that I see who are hiding their breedings and their pups, 
not letting the neighbors know and for sure not letting the AC know, would join 
together, maybe some of these laws that are taking away rights would be 
repealed and breeders would once again be proud and open about what they do.

And WHERE is that GSDCA Legislation Committee?
