EAST COVENTRY (AP) — The kennel where Vice President-elect Joe Biden bought a German shepherd puppy has been cited for records violations several days after he picked out the dog.

Biden isn’t worthy of a German Shepherd.
It’s funny,but sad that the former dumbest Man in the Senate is now # 2. WOW
“and failure to produce records of rabies vaccinations.”
So...is he naming the pup Cujo?
Biden isn’t worthy of a German measle.
...to turn up elsewhere as ballots!
*ping* fyi
From the comments:
” Along with the AKC being revoked for 1 full year in 2006. They are not reporting the full story on the Dec. 10, 2008 usda inspection. This Breeder was cited for MUCH more than just records violations: Unsatisfactory in the following: Maintenance, Ventilation,Sanitation,Housekeeping,Records Kept,Bills of Sale, and Rabies Records! This can be found on the USDA website: http://services.agriculture.state.pa.us/KennelInspections/SearchKennelInspections.aspx
Just enter Chester County, and the zipcode, 19475.
Why doesn’t the news give us the full story ??!!! “
Actually I want to know what prompted the state to check out this breeder because she sold the Veep a dog? I heard her in an interview the other day and it sounded like she is a “natural” breeder — they have the most problems with local authorities... as someone who thinks the government has become way too involved with every aspect of our lives, including how we raise our kids and our dogs, I think this stinks.
This kennel apparently has also had some issues with the AKC...hardly a government agency.
You got that right!
Poor puppy!
No. He is NOT!
Politics aside....I don't think he's MAN enough to handle one. He looks too ...... soft.
Sandy Berger strikes again? LOL

Joe was just trying to take a bite out of crime.
To have problems with the AKC, you have to be pretty bad. Ordinarily they don't give a rap about anything but the registration fees.
As for Biden, you have to be pretty sharp and quite firm to win the respect and trust of a GSD. Although I don't know the man, he certainly hasn't given much evidence in public life of being either.
Although it may well be that he will hire a good kennelman to look after the dog while he is busy with affairs of state, and all will be well.

I sincerely hope so for the sake of that dog!!!
Everybody has a mental picture of what a kennel is, and it is probably wrong.
In Pennsylvania you are a kennel if:
1. You breed and sell more than X number of puppies a year,
2. You transfer even a single puppy to a pet store for retail sale, (I happen to agree with this)
3. You perform a training function (obedience, hunting, guard dog work, etc.)
4. You board dogs (even dogsitting in your home is being targeted)
If you do any of the above, Pennsylvania regards you as a kennel.
It’s probably similar in Delaware since the states are all being pushed in the same regulatory postures by the various “animal rights” groups.
My guess is that the local dog law officer took it upon himself to pull a snap inspection on the breeder because he read the name in the paper. They do 1 scheduled & at least 1 unscheduled inspection per year here in PA.
That was my second choice for a dog when we got our first one, but I decided that with our chaotic household and several small children a GSD would be offended and disturbed. They like order and reason and they take life VERY seriously.
On the other hand, Labradors take life as it comes, with a certain amount of foolishness but great joy, and they THRIVE on chaos.
So we have two happy Labs . . . .
