I don't know where to begin so forgive me if I ramble a bit.
I have consider myself a pet lover all my life and have always made every effort to provide to my pets the utmost care and love and attention. I, like most Americans had never heard of these monstrousities (sp) that occur in these mills untill Ninna came to my life. I purchased her from a "broker" in the Miami area that goes by the name of wizard of claws/puppies by the net. They insist that the purchase their puppies from select local breeders and place the dogs in homes thruout South Florida, USA and international homes. I paid $$$ for her and then took her to my vet who informed me of what bad reputation they have. After doing a little research on them this is what I found:
www.stopwizardofclaws.com . And later when reviewing Ninna's AKC papers my heart sank to the floor when I noticed the name of the "select breeder" was the Halpains in Oklahoma - (9/27/2000) Animal Inventory - Adult breeding dogs - 93, Puppies 25.. Need in say more... So while she appears healthy for now, everytime I look at her I cannot see further than those gross images in my mind and how her life is at risk of some defect that may come up later in life. As you can see there have been many attempts to stop these people but as of today nothing...
If there is anything I can help out please please count me in. I would love to join with your efforts to make a difference, no matter how small...

I am one of the owners of a puppymill furbaby. My Maltese came from Tennesse and I should have seen the signs when I bought her. The lady wouldn't let me in her home to see the parents of my Libby. (I have never regretted getting my libby) she is a wonderful, sweet furbaby.
If anyone knows about this place ( Hollybelles) in Tennessee you know she is shut down now and most of the babies has been adopted. There was a really big write up in the paper( http://hollybellemaltese.com/012904.html)
This site isn't all of it.. They had pictures just like the ones posted on here.. It made you cry. I never really pressed charges against This ( Jennifer) whom she used all kinds of diffrent names. My maltese Libby was sick two days after I got her home. Thank God it wasn't bad. I tried an Tried to get ahold of Jennifer and never did. So we have to stop this! This is Reality and we have to get these back yard breeders to stop.
My two cents worth.. sorry but I had to vent also! 
Brenda, Bobo& Max & libby |
