Several of us got notices and were given summons to appear before the animal control board. The fine was $300 to $500 per violation. Animal Control said they would issue a daily violation. I took a lawyer friend with me and I did not get fined., the others did..how fair is that? Animal control started sending people undercover to buy pups from breeders then fine them. got very scary.
I had a friend in Baltimore county who got a $50 a day fine until she got her numbers down to 4..county limit. She made the mistake of putting her dogs in the yard at the same time and they barked..neighbors complainted. SHe had 8 Yorkies and a Dane puppy..
I know many breeders in limited dog counties..they keep quiet and do not allow their animals all out at once and no barking,keep the yard cleaned up..no complaints. |
What county in Maryland? I live in MD and have never heard of this.
