Woman is vilified for selling a pedigreed pup to the Bidens

Biden's Puppy Breeder: "Never, Never, Never Again"Woman is vilified for selling a pedigreed pup to the Bidens.

By KAREN ARAIZA

The Bidens named their puppy Champ.

Fifteen minutes of fame turned into four months of bitter remorse for the Chester County woman who sold the Bidens their adorable little German shepherd puppy.

Linda Brown's been investigated, scorned and had her life threatened.

"I thought when Joe Biden bought a puppy from me, what an honor," Brown told the Daily Local News. "Out of millions of breeders in the country, in the world, he picked me."

That was December.

When the story got out, Brown faced backlash from pet lovers who thought the Bidens should have opted for a shelter over a breeder to find their new puppy.

PETA seized the moment as an opportunity to blame the killing of shelter animals on people who buy from breeders. The organization's TV commercial, "Buy One, Get One Killed" ran in Delaware after the Biden puppy story made headlines.

Dog wardens from the state showed up at Brown's Wolf Den kennel, repeatedly, for inspections.

"I was cited for a piece of kibble on the floor and five strands of dog hair. They took a picture of that, they walked around, snapped pictures and don't tell you why," Brown told the newspaper.

She was found "not guilty" for each citation, but hiring a lawyer for the court hearings has cost her $4,000 so far in legal fees.

Brown says she and Biden both received death threats from animal activists.

"Never, never, never again," Brown said about selling a dog to anyone with a high profile.

Her advice to breeders who've called about the Obama's puppy search: Don't do it!

"It's been horrific since December," she said.

This kind of shit happening in the US?

Being harassed and threatened because the Vice President decided to buy a dog from your legally owned and operated kennel?

Terroristic threats?

She should sue for the harassment for the number of times they've brought her into court on frivolous charges. She should get her attorney fees reimbursed plus punitive damages for selective persecution.

Asses need to get beat, up in here.

I would buy a shepherd from a breeder too. There is a greater chance of congenital (*snickers* genital) defects without proper breeding
