I am so angry to find out that there is a puppy farm not far from where I live! I was checking out the classified's in my local paper and saw an advert which caught my eye. This guy was selling around 6 different breeds of puppies and a couple of those were cross breeds.
He had a website so I checked it out:
Ivy Leaf Kennels
His address is also on that site (Ivy Leaf Kennels, 1 Barrons Way, Burnhope, Durham, DH7 0DJ) so I put it into Google maps, it just brought up a normal house. I checked out a bird's eye view of the house and from what I can see there isnt any huge building round the back to indicate this is some sort of mill. But then again he could have smaller kennels or be running it from his garage.
I was still suspicious so decided to check out any reviews in Google, turns out he IS a puppy farm!
Take a look:
WAG - Waterside Action Group
The fact that he has so many different breeds of puppy for sale and that he dosnt register with the KC or have a health guarentee on his site were red flags from the start. But those stories are so sad. I know he dosnt have yorkie pups available at this time but I feel we should put his name out there as much as we can to warn buyers of his horrible breeding practices. BUYER BEWARE!!
I also have the same surname as these greeders and want to make it clear there is NO relation!
