I agree with the laws being behind the times.. I can tell you that the kennel is on many, many acres and the dogs that are breeder dogs interact with people (staff) constantly. The runs they have are huge and they are in no way in cramped quarters. They are treated as pets, not puppy machines. The pups are socialized as soon as they are old enough and enjoy much attention. Someone posted that the lady who works there has 100 dogs in her house.......Untrue, but in reality, she does bring dogs in on a rotating basis to help start the potty training process to help families out. A job I wouldn't do for any amount of money!!!
I understand completely that the laws need reform. I also understand that the thought of dogs being kept in cages to simply have pups is not a warm and fuzzy thought. Knowing though that they have much care and running time etc. and that they only keep the breeders for 3 litters and then sell them as pets is a comfort. I can say that I would rather walk into Brush Creek Kennels and see puppies playing and know that they will be going to a family than walk into a chicken coop or cattle barn and know that those animals will end up on the table.
I am not here for controversy.... I just wanted to share some insight. |
