Marianne Miller has been selected to judge Sweepstakes at the next Valle del Sol Golden Retriever Club Specialty show on March 3, 2017.

By signing this petition, you are objecting to this assignment and request Valle del Sol select another, more appropriate Sweepstakes judge who better adheres to the GRCA Code of Ethics.

Marianne Miller is controversial, has exhibited a history of questionable breeding practices and does not garner the respect of exhibitors a Specialty club wishes to attract. In 2014 she publicly acknowledged breeding underage dogs without clearances because she "needed the money." (shown above) A few weeks after doing so, she sent 5 dogs to the National Specialty with a professional handler. Another breeding was done in 2012 to her underage bitch (Chilly X Cheater). Earlier this year she impregnated her champion bitch and shipped her to China for a large sum of money. Her claim was that she needed to be "re-homed" due to temperament issues. There was also no registered eye clearance at the time of the breeding. Our hearts go out to this sweet female. Marianne's prolific, profit-driven breeding practices demonstrate a disregard for certifications and the GRCA Code of Ethics.
