| Congratulations to you and the effort you put into it. This must make you feel wonderful knowing you exposed this creep! It makes me so upset when they say he didn't break any laws even though they were all living in filth It's just plain cruel to make any living thing live this way especially when your making money off of this living breathing thing. I would think, yes these people are breaking the law because they are exposing these poor dogs to desease. And that should be against the law to deliberately make anything breathing sick! You should be very proud of yourself. |

| Omgosh, how terrible I cannot believe he is doing all that in his house and no one has noticed! They actually inspected his house and said it was "satisfactory'? No way

| Good Work It doesn't sound like the local authorities were able to do much, but hopefully the news story will do enough damamge that they will have to shut down. |

| I went there last year when we were looking for a pup. Thank goodness... I did not get Zoe from them. I knew something was not right with that place and I'm so glad I didn't get a puppy there! They were right, he never let us beyond the front room just as you walked in. It did smell of dog but I'm not sure I would say it was overwhelming. We saw the parents which did not look healthy and the mom was way too small to be breeding. Someone was also coming to look at the "Puggles" so there were a couple of pups running around. One of the Pugs went potty which didn't alarm me with a pup but he had diareah which did concern me. There was no way I was getting a pup there and don't you know.... leaving the place I got stuck in the mud. It was a nitemare. The lady who did wind up getting one of the Puggles eventually was able to get me out. I knew I was never going back!!! So sorry to hear this kind of thing is going on right in my backyard. |

| There are 3 or 4 places around here like that and they say there is nothing they can do because these people are not breaking the law. In my opinion the law needs to be changed.
