Even though the garage was not heated/AC and the dogs were dirty, it did not add up to abuse. I have been accused of being a fanatic by Animal Control when it comes to Yorkies. We built on to our home so the Yorkies could be comfortable. They think I treat my dogs like humans and for the most part ignore me. I tried AKC and they inspected his records since he was breeding, all was in order. Ungroomed and being housed in a garage/outside is not against any AKC regs.
This situation is really quite minor compared to the bad cases. |
That's OK!
There really should be stricter laws regarding kennels and breeding. I took a look at that Brushy Creek website and the closeup pictures of those puppies ... their little eyes aren't bright and happy!! I have always believed that the eyes are the windows to the soul [humans and animals]! Toto has always, since the first time we saw her, had the brightest, happiest, most inquisitive little eyes! That's one thing that I loved so much about her and even as a tiny baby she will gaze intently into our eyes for long periods at the time!
And when we talk to her she always looks us straight in the eye ... I believe that she understands what we say to her!!
Of course, we talk to her like she was human and never, never raise our voice to her!
