They were back yard puppy farmers. No health testing no showing or registration to a canine state body. They have well and truly been shut down.

It should be a legal requirement to give all relevant information (a bit like when you take out insurance - you have to give details of anything which might affect the liability). That way breeders could not hide poor test results, and would have to state when a dog had not been tested for whatever reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183957703077342201.post-51939377570442802962015-09-20T18:17:34.758+01:002015-09-20T18:17:34.758+01:00Government can be pretty stupid when it tries to r...Government can be pretty stupid when it tries to regulate dog breeding. Look at all the disasters with breed specific legislation. Having the nanny state set rules for dog keeping and breeding is apt to wind up with a lot of rules that discriminate against people, such as farmers breeding a small number of working dogs. I'd as soon buy a dog whose lines are very well known and show overall good health than a dog that has had testing up the yin yang, but whose sire/dam/siblings/half siblings, etc. have been short lived and have suffered from ailments for which there are no tests (eg., most epilepsy and cancer, allergies, and bloat). It would be hard to formulate legislation that does a good job weeding out bad breeders without also imposing a lot of inappropriate/unnecessary regulations that weigh against small breeders and breeders without good access to advanced veterinary facilities. <br />All in all, I think it's great that the charge that these guys got slammed for was false advertizing. No question they were guilty of it. I haven't read all the background stuff . . . but I hope they end up paying out on many or most of the claims that have been made against them. The total should be in the hundreds of thousands range. I hope the compensation goes to all the victims, and the penalties are sufficient to put them out of business and get the attention of other fly-by-night breeders.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389321571689128858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183957703077342201.post-53807429166311979712015-09-20T17:53:34.637+01:002015-09-20T17:53:34.637+01:00Sad situation.
