Is it OK that if they threaten us and use my brother’s parol to get to my mother’s dog?

I live at home with my mom. My brother, who is on parole, was staying with us but he broke his parole and they came and looked for him. They searched the house. We were fine with that because he was not home but they came back a week later and wanted to search again (even though we told them my brother wasn’t here). My mom is a dog breeder and a president of a kennel club. The second time when they asked to search and we said he wasn’t here, they used as it as an excuse to search and threatened my mom if they had to get a warrant they would come take her dogs.

They should not have threatened your mom that they would take the dogs unless there was something illegal going on with the breeding of them, but this seems unlikely. They do however have every right to search the home for your brother as he is currently a parole absconder and more than likely there is a warrant out for his arrest which means he can be arrested anywhere, anyplace, and at anytime.
