How to decide who stays and who goes

[Jane Austen]

Good Luck Sue, I am rooting for you to get out of the situation you are in. How old are your sons? Are they going with you to your mother's house?

Go Figure.

It depends on who's doing the labeling. For an animal rights person you are a horder. They would call someone breeding with the same numbers a horder or a puppy mill. They don't really care how well your dogs are taken care of. You have more than *THEY* think you should have.

My vet has offered to take two of my corgis and foster well I get set-up some where and even offered to let me work for her on house call work. She respects me and what I do for the animals. I was a vet tech for years before I had my two human sons.
Thanks everyone, I think I can do this.

That's great! A glimmer of hope here. I'm pulling for you too. I hope you can work things out and won't have to place them.

I think Peggy andf Debbie (Glencorgi) are being more than a little negative, which is not out of the ordinary to say the least. With publicity there is always going to be good and bad aspects. The thrust in this matter is surely to get the dogs rehomed to good homes and if publicity or organisations can help, why not try it. If one has the gumption to acquire 10 dogs, then one will have the gumption to try all avenues open to them.
