A Swedish court has imposed a 20,000 kronor ($2,600) fine on a woman kennel owner who refused to sell a puppy to a lesbian.
The kennel owner, who was not identified, had initially been willing to sell the woman a puppy but changed her mind when she found out the woman was living with a lesbian partner, according to Sweden's discrimination ombudsman, a government watchdog who filed the lawsuit.
The Nacka District Court outside Stockholm issued the ruling on Thursday, the ombudsman's office said.
"This is an important verdict," said Hans Ytterberg, who heads the ombudsman's office. "It is important that these incidents are tried in court."
BTW: Meet my new puppy, Chowder

get it now and bring it with you!!! at this point the success or failure of the chi-town reunion is in your hands.
As someone who grew up with Shar-Peis, they're a difficult (but clearly loveable) bunch. Be prepared for vet bills and difficult training.
On another note, as the puggle craze dies down and these young puggles grow up, does anyone else notice that they do not age well?

I'm getting a pug this summer. Or a mutt from the pound. Or a bulldog. I have a lot of thinking to do.
