So, my wife and I are shopping for a new puppy. We both want an English Bulldog. We found a breeder locally, and went to pick our puppy. I have never seen a more disgusting sight in my life. There were hundreds of dogs, all breeds, and dog crap everywhere. The smell . . . ug. We did not buy a puppy.

I just wonder what, if anything, I can do. This woman is allegedly selling AKC pups, so I wonder what the AKC would say about her little project.

Thoughts?

I am sending you a pm with info

thats terrible....where is this place at? i'd like to go tell that person a thing or 2

They need to be reported... to AKC... esp if they are claiming AKC credentials...

exactly, they would drop them in a heartbeat, and the animals need rescued.

my daughter contacted the akc due to a problem with a puppy she purchased from a akc breeder and they would not do anything.... it was the sweetest puppy in the world but had a neurological problem that could not be cured.. and he had to be put down at 4 months...on the advice of 5 vets

thats sad, onb 365

I heard/read recently that a great many of these "puppy mills" exist in central PA and are run by Amish dairy farmers to supplement their income. I think this is really sad!
Apparently "breeding dogs" doesn't have nearly as many "restrictive regulations" [like requiring electricity - prohibited by their religion] as "producing milk" does and so is much more lucrative.

Read sometime ago about a puppy mill in Amish country and the owners killed all of the animals instead of fixing up the living conditions!! Disgusting.

If you want dog or cat for a new family member check out Sierra's Haven shelter in Portsmouth. Loads of animals in need of a home there. All have been spayed or neutered.
