Permanent custody of 76 dogs seized from Canis Maximus kennel in January will not be determined until next year. A two-day bench trial â where a judge would ultimately make a ruling had been scheduled to take place next week. The attorney representing Irina Barrett, the Broad Run woman who owns the kennel, successfully requested a jury trial be scheduled instead. A hearing will take place Feb. 12 in Fauquier County Circuit Court to schedule a jury.
