Declaring that the board has used Selective Enforcement is still one of the best defenses against a board that doesn't have actual guidelines to enforce certain provisions in the deed restrictions. 
Below listed is some excellent case law frequently quoted in these cases. 

• Prisco v. Forest Villas Condominium Apartments, Inc.,
  (Case 847 So 2d 1012 Fla. App. Dist.4 04/30/2003)

Owner being allowed to raise affirmative defense of selective enforcement. A dog is not a cat -- and definitely not a fish or a bird!
