please excuse me jumping in, i dnt know how to start a new thread.
i live in a houseing association house, i have my gsd.s at home and last year i produced 3 litters, i know that to be classed as a breeder(business) you must be producing 4 or more litters a year, my houseing association has just taking me to court because i wouldnt remove my shepherds from property, the jugde had decided that because my guys had produced puppies they were not allowed to be on property, so i have been given 28 days to remove the 4 dogs or be evicted, i have never produced puppies for sake of making money, i give pups away so i can do my own research on them, selling at most 4/5 pups in litter, the judge said i still sold pups, therefore i have ran a business, even though i sold them to cover dog costs,
so be warned, in case this happens to you, hobby breeders can still be classed as a business
