Im not sure if it is still in place but when I signed up as a member of the Canadian Kennel Club....one of the restrictions was that I had never owned, run or been employed by a pet store that sold puppies. along with never having been charged for animal crulety etc.. Please let me know if this is not in place anymore and why it wouldnt work for the GSDC?
